The articleKsięga Tajemnicza. Prolog has beenproposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced for almost 14 years. No other language has a reliably sourced article from which to translate: the Polish article is sourced to blogs and Discogs. Makes wildly dubious claims.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the{{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in youredit summary or onthe article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing{{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop theproposed deletion process, but otherdeletion processes exist. In particular,articles for deletion allows discussion to reachconsensus for deletion based onestablished criteria.

If the proposed deletion has already been carried out, you mayrequest undeletion of the article at any time.Bearian (talk)16:05, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I’m working on a draft article for a hip-hop artist currently under Articles for Creation review. The draft uses coverage from AllHipHop, Sheen Magazine, and a longer profile from The Bridge Magazine.

I’m seeking input from WikiProject Hip hop editors on whether these publications are generally considered reliable secondary sources and whether the depth of coverage would meet expectations for music biography articles.

I want to make sure the article aligns with Wikipedia sourcing standards. Thank you for any guidance.Godsentme1 (talk)06:44, 28 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

As you guys obviously know, Wikipedia's categories for the genre of music use the spelling hip-hop with a hyphen — but theredlinked category report sees aconstant infusion of pages where somebody has either erroneously used the unhyphenated "hip hop" on a new article instead of the existing categories, or tried toflip longstanding articles thatwere in the existing categoriesback to the unhyphenated spelling for some reason. There are almostalways at least one or two, and sometimes several more, "hip hop" categories for which the exact same category already exists at the "hip-hop" form, on that report practically every single time it updates with new redlinked categories, so it's becoming adisruptive pain in the badonkadonk to have to keep fixing this over and over and over again.

So I wanted to ask if there would be any support for ensuring that any category with a hyphenated hip-hop spelling also has a categoryredirect from the unhyphenated hip hop, so that this stops being my problem to fix and can be left to the bots that fix categoryredirect errors instead?Bearcat (talk)18:57, 10 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

This proposal seems sensible to me!Redirects are cheap, after all, and there's evidently a use case for the specific ones you propose.ModernDayTrilobite (talk •contribs)20:47, 10 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
