Angela Bassett did the thing

This appears to be a case of WP:NOTNEWS, there little likelihood of any sustained coverage.  Onel 5969  TT me 14:15, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Merge to the film awards article. Briefly mentioning it there should be sufficient. Oaktree b (talk) 15:39, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete It's one line from a performance, with probably no lasting significance. Joyous! Noise! 15:52, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Have thought about nominating this at AfD myself. Natg 19 (talk) 18:58, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge per Oaktree as an alternative to deletion. The target article would not be particularly long, so a sentence or two on the impact of a performance that is already mentioned in the article would be fine. -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 20:38, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete It's very rare for individual quotes from songs to be notable. Category:Quotations from music is mostly redirects. This does not nearly rise to the level of notable quote, and fails WP:NOTNEWS. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:48, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge per Oaktree. The quote in and of itself is not notable. Popo Dameron  ⁠ talk  00:38, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment: Would it be possible to retool the article to focus on the song and the performance as a whole rather than just the individual line? I present this as an alternative to delete or merging. I only ask because the rap did get substantial coverage in third-party, reliable sources so I would think that passes WP:GNG in that regard. As for whether or not there will be sustained coverage, no one can say for certain either way. I could see it getting renewed coverage during the next BAFTAs for instance.

 * Happy to do this. Wasn't sure what to name the article without it being wordy so I just left it as "Angela Bassett did the thing" because it was the most famous line from the performance. Won't move the article to a new name because it's currently under AfD (obviously) but will have a play around. XxLuckyCxX (talk) 14:40, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Understandable. I just wanted to present it as an alternative since again, I have seen this topic get coverage, and in my opinion, it is impossible to say either way if it will get sustain coverage. I think the focus should be on the coverage that exists. If it I had to come up with a title, I'd probably do some version of Ariana DeBose's BAFTAs rap as that seems to be what most of the coverage uses in some format or another.

 * Merge per Oaktree and others above. Mentioning the quote at the proposed target seems fine. CycloneYoris talk! 09:02, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
