Talk:Grammy Awards/Archive 2

Basic Error: Years
The awards are for the *past* year, not for the year of the ceremony, for example Tapestry by Carole King is Album of the Year 1971 etc, see the Grammy database ....E-Kartoffel (talk) 23:18, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Move discussion in progress
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Golden Globe Award which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you.  Corvoe  (speak to me)  16:44, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Criticism section too large
The criticism section is 40% of the article (1,350 words out of 3,366).

This gives the appearance of someone having a grief to pick with the Award rather than contributing toward an impartial encyclopedia article.

Perhaps the criticism could be summarized. This might have the advantage of making the section more coherent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.243.1.164 (talk) 20:43, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

I disagree. The criticism section is not nearly large enough given the inordinate amount of musician circles that consider the Grammy Awards an absolute laughing stock. This mostly lies with their strict preference for rewarding youth and teen oriented music over pure craftsmanship. This didn't even make the cut for the criticism section. --24.188.104.155 (talk) 01:12, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

In memoriam
The In Memoriam section doesn't seem to be appropriate. Even the TV broadcasts and ratings section doesn't go into the detailed format of the ceremony and broadcast. It might be appropriately placed there if/when someone decides to add that level of detail (which I don't think is necessary either). This is why I removed it last month instead of fixing it. It's now been added again by an IP editor. Comments? —[ Alan M 1 (talk) ]— 10:05, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
 * It should be mentioned as part of the format of the awards ceremony, not as a trivial independent section.-- ☾Loriendrew☽  ☏(ring-ring)  13:26, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

Vandalism is out of control right now. Can one of the administrators make the page protected temporarily? Idontlikepeople32 (talk) 14:19, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I've already done so. In the future, requests for page protection should go at WP:RFPP rather than on article talk pages, as it's higher-visibility. GorillaWarfare (talk) 16:35, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

== On the main Grammy Awards page, there has been a lot of BTS fans that are spamming the Grammy page, calling them Scammy on the title page and calling out the Grammys for their ridiculousness when they have not done their reseaech. Here is what they wrote ==

“ The Scammys also known as Grammy Award is an award presented by the Recording Academy to award people with white privilege in the name of "recognizing achievement in the music industry." Scammys also accept bribery and gifts. People of color DO NOT have a chance to win an award but Scammys proudly use them for clout. Scammys are very well known for robbing artists and have successfully been boycotted by artists like Zayn Malik, The Weekend and Eminem. The voters of Scammy awards are a very well known set of XENOPHOBICS that ignore real talent of artists and still award their so called "favourites and friends." But never to not say less, scammys is one of the biggest shows that openly are racists and and shows favouritism. They again and again show their real faces and show the world how disgusting they are, they continue to be irrelevant.

Is it possible to delete this along with the scammy award title? Thank you. Benzwilner (talk) 10:23, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
