Britney Spears performance at 2007 MTV Video Music Awards

 * Delete, a 3 minute performance does not need it's own page, plus lots of false info. MusicLover 02:58, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * comment -But no false notes, since it was all lip-synched. :-) Jeffpw 23:49, 18 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete, three days around the watercooler does not an article make. I think people stopped talking about this around Thursday, really. 2007_MTV_Video_Music_Awards is actually better referenced and written, and I can't think of anything more that need be said about it. --Dhartung | Talk 03:34, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete: Agreeing with Dhartung. -- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk|Contribs) 04:08, 15 September 2007 (UTC) Changing my vote to Merge and delete based on the arguments made by others. -- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk|Contribs) 05:43, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets notability guidelines with multiple reliable sources. Notability does not expire, if it was being talked about on Thursday in the then it should be kept. Also, deletion is not the answer if the article is badly written, Fix it! . I am concerned that the above votes my reflect a sentiment of WP:IDONTLIKEIT (This is not a personal attack though). I can only see this topic expanding (effect on her "career", etc) so we should get the good stuff out of the parent article now.

 * Comment: I suggest merging this with Britney Spears. Keithbrooks 06:33, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Spears' original page is already 64 kilobytes big. This event has taken on a life of its own.--The lorax 06:36, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 *  Very Strong Delete Merge and Delete Merge with Britney Spears and then delete. Doesn't deserve an entry of its own as it's just another part of her career and should be reflected on her entry. --  ALLSTAR    ECHO  06:47, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep As trivial as the event might seem to some people, this event has received national media coverage from the majority of mainstream publications. Even if people stop talking about it, the fact that people talked about it in the first place validates its noteworthiness. RobbieNomi 08:25, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't think that's the issue. Why does it deserve a page of its own rather than being merged with the Britney Spears article? That's the argument here. --  ALLSTAR    ECHO  09:03, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge if it is not already in Brittany Spears, else delete. WP:NOT. -- Flyguy649 talk contribs 09:15, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge & delete - One or two sentences placed into Britney Spears is plenty. Certainly relevant there.  /Blaxthos 11:17, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge - Wikipedia is far too fragmented. Xdenizen 12:24, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge relevant info and redirect. I wanted some information about this event yesterday, so I read up on it on the 2007 VMA article and the Britney Spears article. This information, IMO, belongs as part of those articles and not as its own independent article. WP:NOT, as has been previously stated. bwowen talk•contribs 14:17, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge & delete. Various aspects of Britney Spears' life attract widespread media attention, but they don't all warrant their own article on Wikipedia. Should be covered in the Britney Spears and MTV articles, but no more. PC78 14:34, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Please note that the GFDL prohibits deletion following a merge. --Dhartung | Talk 10:37, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Take your pick then. Merge or delete. PC78 23:28, 18 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge to main Britney article. Surprisingly well-sourced and it is written well but I don't think it needs to be a stand-alone article.  Would fit just fine in Britney's main page. - eo 16:25, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete or Merge This belongs in Britney Spears's main page 2007 MTV Video Music Awards, not the single. I think this post is problematic, and will continue to have vandalism. I definately dont think it needs its own page; it was only a 3 minute event.- Mojojojo69 16:42, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge to the Britney Spears article, not-notable, WP:NOT. Hello32020 17:02, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge to the Britney Spears article. &mdash;tregoweth (talk) 19:02, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with Britney Spears as per all previous arguments --carelesshx talk 21:12, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I had notice yesterday that a good chunk of this article is pretty much said in the 2007 MTV Awards article (I've considered of putting a merge tag but did not), so I guess redirect and Merge to the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards or Britney Spears.--JForget 22:48, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, who cares?  Marlith  T / C  22:50, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge per all previous comments. Every move of every pop princess doesn't need its own article and this can be covered adequately in her article and the VMA article. Otto4711 06:50, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * CommentExactly, I don't see an article about Ashlee Simpson's SNL lip-synching incident which was as much or perhaps even more covered that the Spears neither her performance at the Orange Bowl in 2005. There's no individual articles also about Milli Vanilli's 1989 incident as well. So Britney's performance at MTV (and I remember that's not the first time it happen) doesn't need the article itself since several more as significant sub-par performances/or incidents as bad as this do not have other articles. JForget 17:01, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with Britney Spears. This was no "wardrobe malfunction"-level event. 23skidoo 17:10, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with Britney Spears, but not "Gimme More". The event doesn't have to do with the song, but it should be added in her biography article. Bull Borgnine 17:24, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete or Merge Does not need it's own article, once the hype wears off, there is no need for this junk. Dannycali 17:38, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge due to widespread news coverage that definitely demonstrates notability and easy to find references. Best, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 17:42, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to 2007 MTV Video Music Awards. 17Drew 18:00, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge to Britney Spears. If info is merged into that article, this one needs to stay as a redirect for the GFDL.  --Phirazo 18:08, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Rationale for my !vote: This is rampant recentism, and any information could be easily covered at Britney Spears.  I do not think this notable enough for a separate article, but could have a spot in Britney Spears. --Phirazo 18:30, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * KEEP - There simply can't be enough articles about The Legendary miss Britney Spears on Wikipedia or any other publication. To quote the lady herself: Gimme More! :-)Jeffpw 21:01, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Liking Britney Spears has nothing to do with keeping, merging, or deleting this article. --Phirazo 17:08, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I've checked the video on YouTube, and basically it's just Britney being virtually uninterested in the performance with low voice and little dancing - another reason why it is not so special and not so notable.--JForget 23:19, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to 2007 MTV Video Music Awards per above. Good article but does not need to be on its own. Epson291 01:19, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect. Agree with Epson291, good article, but doesn't need to be on it's own. QuasyBoy 10:07, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge, per nom. Thiste 15:06, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Gimme More. There could just be a small reference to this on the single page or her main page CRocka05 16:42, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge We are not the daytime entertainment news, we are an encyclopaedia. Orderinchaos 20:23, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to 2007 MTV Video Music Awards, with mention in the Britney Spears and Gimme More articles - Mtmelendez (Talk 20:35, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
