NPOV?

This article definately seems to be unencyclopediac. However, I'm curious if anybody else percieves this article as being in violation of WP:NPOV? It feels like a weird situation for that, but I can't think of what else applies to things like "featured what may have been the most impressive lineup of legendary hip hop luminaries," and "Since Tommy Boy record's New Music Seminar was in town people from all over the WORLD were there.Including Afrika Bambaataa,KRS One, King Sun ect,ect the line of MC's who didn't get on are Pioneers and Legends!"

Yes, you are right - and it gets worse. I have added {POV}, {Wiki} and {Press release} tags - fancruft in excelsias.

List of members

I would bet that users have added names that have never been part of Rock Steady Crew. References need to be added for as many as possible, especially those not mentioned in the History. Then the rest can be removed. Entertheinferno 22:13, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I broke down RSC members into Pre-1984 Hiatus and Post-1991 Revival, listing only members from the official sites of Rock Steady Crew and Mr. Wiggles.

Here are the remaining members that I removed from the article:

Bobbito Garcia - probably an "unofficial" member of RSC

no mention on his wikipedia article

[1] lists him as a member, but does not look like a reliable article

[2] is an actual interview with Bobbito, stating he is a member of Rock Steady

[3] [4] [5] says he has danced with Rock Steady (not clear whether they mean he is an actual member or not)

Abstrak
Doze
Mad Child (of Swollen Members) - probably an "unofficial" member of RSC

His wikipedia article mentions his initiation into RSC at the 1996 B-Boy Summit

Needs a reference outside of Wikipedia

Eunico
Fast Feet
Pepito
DJ P
Buck 4
Kuriaki
Normski
Baby Love
Headspin Janet
Rammalzee

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:

There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 00:35, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
