Are four paragraphs really necessary for one song with limited media coverage?

Google News has a very limited selection of sources about this "controversial" song, with the vast majority of them being blogs or gay or hip-hop sites. Hardly any mainstream sources have covered this matter. The "controversy" is too limited to warrant such a large percentage of this article. JayHubie (talk) 19:40, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think a bit of editing would not be a problem. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:02, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Walter's editing the section down given its limited media coverage. (I honestly thought it would be more.) But I do not agree with the designation of the sources as primary: while not "mainstream media," they are still considered objectively written articles.

Anyway, I am fine with the editing (I just removed one repetitive clause), but wonder why a link cannot be placed from the mention of the Web site Bizzle has set up to counter the arguments against him to the actual Web site? I had it there originally but someone deleted it.

Thanks. ToppDogg10458 (talk) 01:29, 16 February 2014 (UTC)ToppDogg10458[reply]

Justin Bieber announces name change to 'bizzle'

Good afternoon ;)

I saw your message concerning your deleting of my addition to Bizzle's Wikipedia page. I'm new to Wikipedia (as you may have seen) so could you please explain in greater detail as to why you deleted it? You mentioned Mark Felder's Twitter account, yet I didn't reference that. It was his Facebook status. I thought the reference from US Magazine (US Weekly) would be a decent citation used here. Shall I resubmit the below omitting the facebook status? Thanks! :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bkd116 (talk • contribs) 17:39, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

On February 11, 2014, US Magazine reported that Justin Bieber had changed his Instagram handle to 'bizzle'"Justin Bieber Changes Instagram Name to Bizzle "For Now"". US Magazine. Victoria Lasdon Rose. Retrieved February 18, 2014. citing that "the moniker ‘Bizzle’ actually belongs to a Christian rapper based in L.A."

Bizzle responded on his Facebook page by saying "#GodOverMoney ain't goin nowhere......I don't care who change dey name to what!!! - #Bizzle"

This is about Bieber and not the rapper. It's not an official name change just a Twitter handle change and his "Twitter name still remains 'Justin Bieber'". The US Magazine also mentions another subject, Lethal Bizzle, before this one and nothing is mentioned on that article. The magazine is not known for hard-hitting news anyhow and this fluff is no exception. Finally, there is no reference to the rapper's Facebook post not that it would matter because he is under the assumption that Bieber changed his name and not only his Twitter handle. To summarize, this isn't about this rapper and doesn't belong here based on the reports we have now. Walter Görlitz (talk) 19:02, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Recent tagging

I am concerned that the article has added too much fan cruft and material related to the label rather than the subject. I don't have the time to clean it myself which is why I tagged it instead. Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:50, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
