Talk:Ken Carson (country singer)

New article

I just started this article, using several references, but relying primarily on one of them. The External links section contains links to some places that could also be used as sources. They seemed not to be as authoritative as the one I used, and I just didn't have time to dig through them. Maybe somebody will want to dig a little further.

Ken Carson impersonation

No reference to Ken Carson, the twin brother of Ben Carson, impersonated by Trevor Noah? Not worthy of its own article, but a reference somewhere may be justified.92.144.86.115 (talk) 18:23, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

why

the rapper ken carson is a more googled result revert the page back 98.250.157.19 (talk) 06:57, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

As far as I can see, Kenyatta L Frazier Jr. (b. April 11, 2000), known as Ken Car$on doesn't have a Wikipedia article. He doesn't seem to meet the general notability guideline either. And there is no point in altering this article, it is just vandalism.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 07:47, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

new article?

theres a rapper that goes by the name Ken Car$on who has been gaining popularity very fast thanks in part to a co-sign from fellow rapper Playboi Carti. When you search Ken Carson on google you get the western singer instead which could be a problem. The rapper is clearly way more relavent than the singer so I suggest you renaming this to Ken Carson (Singer) and starting a new page called Ken Carson (Rapper). 173.54.230.154 (talk) 15:07, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

People have been asking this and making vandal edits for some time now; the problem is this:

Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

This doesn't show enough notability for his own article at the moment. What is needed are secondary sources, not social media pages, streaming sites etc.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 18:02, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Ken Carson (entertainer) → Ken Carson (country music singer) – or Ken Carson (singer, born 1914) or Ken Carson (western music singer). The "entertainer" term is generally avoided on Wikipedia, and it is also ambiguous WP:INCOMPLETEDAB in this case, because Ken Carson (rapper) is also an entertainer. The article about the rapper says he is also a singer, so "singer" would not be sufficient. See also the ongoing RM discussion at Talk:Ken Carson (rapper)#Requested move 16 March 2023. Also, should "Western" be capitalized? I see that it is capitalized in the Western music (North America) article, but that seems questionable as WP:SIGCAPS. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 05:30, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

• Support (country music singer). The term "western music" is too ambiguous, capped or not. Dicklyon (talk) 07:54, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
• Support (entertainer) is generally used for vaudeville acts In ictu oculi (talk) 18:35, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
• Comment should probably be (country singer) instead of (country music singer) per precedent set by similar pages. (talk) 00:32, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

  Support Ken Carson (country singer). You're right. There are no articles on Wikipedia that use "(country music singer)", but many that use "(country singer)". —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:03, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

• Support Ken Carson (country singer). Obvious disambiguator with the rapper. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:32, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
