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]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 22:52, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lil Eazy-E

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]

Add a better quality photo and a more recent one. Fatluckydoge (talk) 23:12, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate.

If you know of an image that meets the image use policy requirements (ie freely licensed or public domain) feel free to suggest it. This is currently the only photo of him on commons so it probably wont be changed unless somebody finds another one. Jamedeus (talk) 23:51, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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. ^[1]Amoebamars (talk) 19:12, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Semi-protected edit request on 1 February 2025

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Eazy-E. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Please change mentions of Ice Cube and Dr. Dre to be hyperlinked to their Wikipedia pages in the third paragraph in the intro, when mentioning their rivalry. Snagglegrolop (talk) 22:47, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
