The result of the move request was: speedy reject Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:17, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Prof (rapper) → Prof – Disambiguation is not needed because there is no other page titled "Prof”. Instead, the {{About}} template can be placed at the top of the article to link to Professor (disambiguation). – 118.8.78.253 (talk) 05:32, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:18, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

To most people, "Prof" is short for "Professor", and not some obscure rapper. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:18, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose speedy close please someone. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:59, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I disagree that the rapper should be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. "Prof" is a long standing, long-term significant, abbreviation of "Professor". Zzyzx11 (talk) 09:02, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

How is the information not reliable if obtained from Rhymesayers?[edit]

It seems one is grasping at straws to take down edits regarding Prof's removal from Rhymesayers Entertainment, given the label themselves have released a statement. RapSavior (talk) 08:26, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide a third-party reliable source. 180.3.136.64 (talk) 08:55, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A third-part reliable source is only applicable when the information is contentious - this is first-hand from Rhymesayers Entertainment, a valid source noted several times on this page without a secondary citation. This is also a new development, more sources will arrive in mere hours.

Also, be aware of the three edit rule. RapSavior (talk) 09:08, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It is contentious to claim that someone committed a sexual misconduct or that someone's music is misogynic. Per WP:BLP, we need a third-party reliable source that directly supports the claim. If "more sources will arrive in mere hours", then we should wait for them. 180.3.136.64 (talk) 09:26, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
