The title

[edit]

Why is the title "Token(rapper)" instead of "Token (rapper)" with a space there like in all the other pages with similar titles? I don't seem to have rights for changing it so I can't fix it myself. Veliveli (talk) 21:18, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Because Token (rapper) has been deleted after discussions and after repeated recreation three times no less in 2016 ever since was banned from being recreated without a permission from an administrator and a discussion. The decision was "A7: Article about a real person, which does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject" After a third disruptive attempt, this was added "Page protected for Token (rapper). Creation requires administrator access] (indefinite) as article repeatedly recreated"werldwayd (talk) 10:25, 19 January 2021 (UTC) werldwayd (talk) 10:30, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Personally I don't want to disrupt further, as I have checked he has had a number of releases in 2017 and later, like 2020 when he also released "Curfew" and "30 People". These were after a ban was put in 2016 for creation of the page. So he may have become notable. But it's just that a more knowledgeable editor in rap should do the necessary research for notable references and then ask for access to be granted by an administrator. werldwayd (talk) 10:40, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I just tried to move the page to a title with the correct spacing and saw it was salted. He has become notable since 2016 -- Boston Globe , Uproxx , an album on the Billboard hip-hop/r&b charts and more. I reviewed it via NPP so the article is on my watch list - the spacing drives me nuts every day. And hello werldwayd! We have crossed paths on articles, cool to have a reason to say hi.

I am a very inclusive person and accept that notability can change with time and that now he is certainly more notable. I trust you could improve the article itself on Token(rapper) and add more info, reference articles and chart positions from the Billboard R&B charts on the presently existing page and then request reassessment and releasing of the proper page Token (rapper). Meanwhile I have added a request on top of the page for refimpove. You notice our present article abruptly stops at 2012. It is only the discography that mentions later years. A write-up of this article is truly needed. werldwayd (talk) 17:53, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Pinging the editor who created the article: Yeeetttttboiiiii. I agree, a real article is needed, he has a great story (and a speech disability he worked through). JSFarman (talk) 18:05, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
