The year of birth is wrong... Should be 1963 2600:387:C:2D37:0:0:0:6 (talk) 22:29, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I propose that Lil Eazy-E get merged to this article. Although that article appears to have a good amount of information, all of the sources are either non-notable blogs or YouTube videos; and the remainder of the sources are more about his father than about Lil Eazy himself. In addition, although he appears to have a music career, it doesn't appear that he has ever charted anywhere. Erpert blah, blah, blah... 12:27, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I recently updated Lil Eazy E's article with better sources and more information. 2601:543:4203:45D0:994B:5356:655D:7D54 (talk) 02:07, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
oppose, Lil Eazy-E's article has enough info to stand alone and he's a notable figure with plenty of coverage. Kingofthedead (talk) 09:08, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, having one article to cover two different singers like that is pretty unprecedented and it would be unneeded focus on Jr in his father's articles. No need to merge, keep it as it is. Chessrat (talk, contributions) 10:26, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

() Please read WP:NOTRS; if reliable sources can be added, then there wouldn't be a problem. In addition, Chessrat, it isn't exactly one article to cover two different singers; the merge would simply avoid deleting the article outright. Erpert blah, blah, blah... 16:26, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Oppose. I think the WP:SNOW clause applies here. Dr. Universe (talk) 02:57, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Change “Over 3,000 people attended his funeral, including Ice Cube and DJ Yella” to just “Over 3,000 people attended his funeral, including DJ Yella” Yella said in a recent interview on YouTube that he was the only N.W.A. member at Eazy’s funeral.

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit semi-protected}} template. Of the two sources already cited in the article, one says that it could not be determined if Ice Cube was present, and the other one quotes DJ Yella as saying that Ice Cube WAS present. Since the source quoted in this request says different, I don't think this is an uncontroversial claim. As such, a consensus needs to be developed here first before using the Edit Request template.
