Flavor Flav
I looked at this in pursuit of the VFD for Flavor flav, and discovered that it too had no worthwhile quotes. There are perhaps one or two that might be worthwhile if they were sourced, but since none of them are, and since pages like these tend to collect poor quality quotes, I think it should be deleted. — Ubiquity 10:38, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Source what can be sourced and delete the rest, but keep the page - subject is quotably notable. I'll see if I can work on it some. BD2412 T 11:06, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * keep am in Flavor to keep get rid of the crap and keep the worthy quotes--McNoddy 12:46, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Seems to be unmitigated rubbish.-- Poetlister 12:58, 4 March 2008 (UTC) OK, much improved.-- Poetlister  13:44, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Theres a lot of articles like that e.g there are a bucket load of wrestlers who have got clean up tags on them, take a look at this rubbish Chyna or this Eddie Guerrero i was going to vote for Chynas deletion.--McNoddy 13:20, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete unless we can get at least one pithy, original, sourced quote. And junk the rest, regardless, as unoriginal, juvenile bad-ass talk. It may be plausible, given the scatological tastes of some audiences, but it is not worth preserving for posterity. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 01:36, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep now with McNoddy's changes (see below). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 10:37, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment added sourced quotes--McNoddy 10:03, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, McNoddy. I took the liberty of removing the context lines (which should only be included if the context isn't clear from the quotes themselves), reformatting your source lines to avoid some formatting problems, adding a missing reflist tag for the citation in the improved intro you grabbed from Wikipedia's article (that's easy to miss), and replacing that citation in both our and WP's article with the original one from All Music Guide (since VH1's was just a copy and didn't provide the author's name). I suppose that sounds like a lot of work, but you did the critical part of finding those quotes. Everything else is cleanup. By the way, when you copy over material from a Wikipedia article for an intro, please mention and link to the WP article in your edit summary — e.g., "added better intro from Flavor Flav" — so we don't violate GFDL. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 11:13, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Wow, excellent work, McNoddy and Jeffq. I have no objections to the article in its present state. --Ubiquity 12:31, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep now that it has been improved. ~ UDScott 15:16, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per UDScott.--Cato 23:42, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. - InvisibleSun 17:24, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Very weak keep Not a brilliant article, but probably not deletable.--Yehudi 16:21, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Very weak keep I agree with Yehudi on this one. - Zarbon 18:48, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
