Country Music Association Award for Male Vocalist of the Year

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article should be deleted because all the information given in the article can be found in Country Music Association Awards. The article also fails WP:NOTDIR #7 because it is a simple listing with no context information. -KAP03(Talk &bull;&#32;Contributions) 00:17, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete My first thought was "merge" but, as the nomination said, the information is already in the Country Music Association Awards article. This article is therefore redundant. Exemplo347 (talk) 00:42, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

 * This list does need some additional context, but doesn't it already include information about the nominees as well as the winners, information that is not contained in the main article for the awards? We have lots of articles that cover particular important award categories as part of the overall coverage of that award, compare for example the many pages included in Category:Grammy Awards for country music.  How, other than its unfinished structure, is this one different? --Arxiloxos (talk) 05:11, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep: Don't confuse a low-quality article with lack of notability. The CMAs are major awards in the industry, (actually, I suppose THE major awards in the industry, next to the Grammys) and just as other, similarly-situated awards break down by category, this one meets that indicia. That said, they should build additional lists for Female vocalist, etc...  Montanabw (talk) 19:42, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Country Music Association Award for Female Vocalist of the Year and Country Music Association Award for Entertainer of the Year already exist, in pretty much the same state of underdevelopment as this one. I agree that they're all notable and can be improved, rather than deleted.--Arxiloxos (talk) 06:05, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep I agree with Montanabw's analysis. Those are notable topics in their own right and could be fleshed out even if they are not yet. Even if one were to think that they should be removed, the correct solution per WP:ATD would be to redirect to the main article, since as the correct names for the awards they are plausible search terms.

 * Keep. This is a perfectly normal case of WP:SPLITLIST of which we have thousands. The award is notable, ergo the SALs on the individual awards are notable, this is a long established practise when the main article can't contain all award information. And it does not, the premise that all the information given in the article can be found in Country Music Association Awards is incorrect. As for the NOTDIR#7 argument, that's merely a matter of writing a lead to start with. — Sam Sailor 00:38, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
