I've thoroughly de-POVed the article. Honestly, it was easy; I implore editors to just edit instead of slapping tags. (Not to say I'm not guilty of the same.) Anyway, I took out the tag, mostly because I blew out everything that looked like a compliment. Deltabeignet 04:29, 8 November 2005 (UTC) I removed the description of the song Download as being intended "to discourage the downloading of music" since it completely misses the mark, the song is clearly ironic, and widely believed to be so 212.32.11.115 15:27, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

I think we should create a section called "Collaborations" which would showcase all Sway's past collaborations with other artists. Another thing to do, is have a section about "This is my Demo" as it would seem appropriate, as we have a section about his upcoming album. Dirtyharry1994 ( talk) 04:43, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
the madness collab isnt noted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.83.121.172 ( talk) 20:20, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
He just got signed to Akon and was announced he'll be working with Pharrell as well, big news for UK fans, would be good to get that up there http://www.sohh.com/2008/09/news-akon-signs.html source if you need it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.109.221.207 ( talk) 19:57, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
I've seen 3 different release dates on this page for this mixtape, does anyone know when its actually coming out? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.102.10.103 ( talk) 16:24, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
Sway DaSafo discography is too short to need a separate article, and could be merged here without adding undue length to this one. TheJazzDalek ( talk) 10:03, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
Removed per WP:EL:
but could possibly be used as references to improve the article. TheJazzDalek ( talk) 12:38, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
Where did the 'DaSafo' in his name come from? I've never heard him being referred to as this, just 'Sway'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.192.81.199 ( talk) 13:36, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
When he first started he called himself Sway Da Safo, which means Sway The Safo, Safo being his last name (Real name Derek Andrew Safo). His early TV work, as well as his music, refer to him as Sway Dasafo, as shown on IMDb http://gb.imdb.com/name/nm2620829/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jessien23 ( talk • contribs) 12:03, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
