Art Directors Guild Award for Excellence in Production Design for a Animated Film

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not meet WP:GNG. Nothing that meets WP:SIGCOV / WP:IS that addresses the topic directly and in depth. Unreferenced and too detailed for merge to Art Directors Guild. WP:NOTEVERYTHING  // Timothy ::  talk  20:38, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

 * , isn't Art Directors Guild Award for Excellence in Production Design for a Animated Film a subtopic of ADG Excellence in Production Design Award where it could easily be merged to? And wouldn't it be inconsistent to delete it but not Art Directors Guild Award for Excellence in Production Design for a Feature Film or any of the other articles in Category:Art_Directors_Guild_Awards?

 * Reply: here's my thinking
 * The noms and winners are listed in the lists for the individual years. There are sources that discuss the awards each year along with the nominees and winners.
 * The winners are listed under Animated Film in ADG Excellence in Production Design Award. There are sources that discuss this particular award category.
 * So the information is already in one or two lists. So there is nothing to merge to those spots. The nominees could be duplicated in ADG Excellence in Production Design Award, but I think that would reduce the quality of that list and the information already exists by year. The years in this article could be linked to the award by year articles.
 * I can't find WP:RS that are independent that discuss the individual award categories within the ADG Excellence in Production Design Award directly and in-depth. It is mentioned in relation to the award.
 * I only other option would be to merge (along with the others) into Art Directors Guild, but I think that's too detailed.

 * Keep - At a glance, it looks like there's some duplication between the main award page, which lists winners, the yearly awards pages, and the award-specific pages. The award-specific pages aren't the problem, though. The redundant bit is that the main award page shouldn't have a comprehensive list of winners. Think about what readers are most likely looking for: a specific award or a specific year. If any statistics, the main award page should be used for, say, awards over time (who has won the most, etc.). &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 23:48, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment. If nothing else, this article needs to be moved to a corrected title -- it should be "an Animated Film", not "a Animated Film". (The Guild doesn't actually use the full award title here in its rules. ) --Metropolitan90 (talk) 00:06, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak delete normally I'd go with a merge or redirect, since this seems like useless duplication but is still a thing, but in this case I don't think either option works because of the reasons given by TimothyBlue. There's no point in just keeping the article when it's a duplicate of other ones though.--Adamant1 (talk) 08:33, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
