The result was delete. I suspect there's been some canvassing going on. There's a number of users with very limited editing history arguing to keep this, but none have put forth any policy-based reasons. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:08, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Takeoff (rapper)[edit]

All the information in the article is from Migos. A separate article is unnecessary. Unlike other member Quavo, his solo projects aren't notable so far. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 01:42, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article shouldn't be deleted, as all members of the Migos are relevant at this point in time and it is necessary they have their own pages. The article just needs major improvement. For example, the information in the Offset is mostly from Migos as well so I don't know how that page isn't nominated for deletion. Bapreme (talk) 05:18, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The reason why Offset and Quavo have their own articles is because their solo careers are notable, aside from Migos. Offset was featured as himself in "No Complaints" and other songs which charted in multiple countries. Takeoff did release a solo song and was featured in multiple guest appearances such as Calvin Harris' "Holiday", but the question at hand is figuring out if Takeoff's solo career did truly take off to make his solo career notable aside from Migos. —SomeoneNamedDerek (talk) 14:20, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it should be deleted. Even if his solo career isn't as notable as the other two, he is still very much relevant, first of all for being a member of the Migos, obviously. The article at the moment indeed doesn't say much about him personally, but there's always room for improvement. It's not like he's the weak link of the group; prior to Migos' sudden fame due to Bad and Boujee, it was mostly Quavo and Takeoff making a name for the Migos due to Offset being in jail. So the article should not be deleted, but it should be edited to include more information about Takeoff specifically.--TeoTB (talk) 03:05, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I should also add that due to recent controversy with the "Everyday Struggle" interview at the BET awards, among other things, he's even more relevant. People have even more reasons to read a wikipedia page about him now, it should stay.--TeoTB (talk) 03:08, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

He is notable and the article needs to stay. Blsupr (talk) 23:06, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think that this article should stay. But should be improved. There’s a lot of confusion going on about his name (His mothers Facebook page states that it is ‘KIRSNICK’, not Kirshnik. Unlike Quavo and Offset, Takeoffs solo career isn’t as notable as the other two, but he is still relevant as a member of Migos. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.219.226.89 (talk) 22:58, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - WP:TOOSOON; hasn't yet got any notability independent from being a member of Migos Spiderone 20:16, 24 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
