 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. Both !votes for deletion were weak, with little other discussion, with the nominator suggesting a redirect as a second choice. Merging or redirecting can happen outside of the scope of this AfD, and may be a suitable compromise. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  23:28, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

British Soap Award for Best Actor

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I do not see the point in there being a separate article for this. It does not cover anything that is not already mentioned at The British Soap Awards. I suggest deleting it. Failing that then redirect it to The British Soap Awards article - that covers the same subject in more detail. 5 albert square (talk) 20:28, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete (very weak!) on the basis that the information is a repeat of content already existing on the parent article, although this article is laid out well and makes finding the specific content easier. However, if an article were to exist for this award, you'd surely have to create an article for every other award in a similar manner, thus have everything replicated? It's fair to say the parent article is getting more and more bloated as the years progress, so it may be worth considering if the awards table should be split into separate articles to make it manageable. I could easily be swayed to keep if there is any compelling arguments given, but for now, purely on the basis of repetition, i'll remain in the delete camp.

 * The point is that the information is already in the British Soap Awards article, as per the nomination. Bungle (talk • contribs) 18:48, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. Although the article is in a different layout to that of The British Soap Awards, it still wouldn't be difficult to find all the best actor nominations if that's what you wanted. I don't feel that the individual award for best actor is notable in its own right as it is usually discussed as part of the ceremony. — ᴀnemone  ᴘroᴊecтors  13:46, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
