== Third opinion ==

Hi, The subject of the article fulfils the notability criteria at Wikipedia and should have an article of their own. The article needs major expansion, however. It currently offers very little to the reader other than basic information. It should have a section on their musician history, early life, projects and reviews by news papers, magazines and music reviews. There are lots of information that can be added; [http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1510378/20050926/bone_thugs_n_harmony.jhtml this for example], [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1214409/ this], [http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Wr1lmklsD8QC&pg=PT286&dq=%22Layzie+Bone%22&sig=ACfU3U2I0DCh-AhgS_OYcw3ZMmTwAdyloQ this], [http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=_WoRAPJQ58sC&dq=%22Layzie+Bone%22 this], [http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=9lYYAAAAIAAJ&dq=%22Layzie+Bone%22 this] and many more could be used to aid in this process.

===Article has now been expanded into C-class===

The article is no longer a stub and has been expanded into a C-class article. The subject is notable and has a solo career and a career with [[Bone Brothers]] that is separate from his membership in [[Bone Thugs-N-Harmony]]. Editors should not revert this edit but should improve it instead. There are many ways it can be improved. Steven has been shot, almost had his finger bit off and has acted as the influence for other rappers. All of these claims can be referenced on the Internet.

Edit-warring has to stop on this article and editors should note that further wars will likely result in user-[[WP:RFC|RFC]]'s or blocks. Admitedy the article was in a poor condiciton and the prose was rather poor also. Street lingo should be avoided unless quoting someone directly.

I, and others will be watching this article. Thank you, have a nice time improving this article!
