Spinoff

I propose that Ja Rule be listed as a spinoff of Irv Gotti. I've seen other articles like Bobby Valentino and Estelle be listed as spinoffs of Ludacris and John Legend, so Ja Rule should be a spinoff of Irv Gotti. JuanBoss105 (talk) 22:13, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I had a look at Template:Infobox musical artist, and it says that the parameter is only used when referring to groups, not solo artists. Describing a solo artist as a spinoff of another solo artist doesn't make sense to me. Throast ^{{{ping}} me!} (talk | contribs) 22:16, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
