Primary sources only, completely unencyclopedic  Funky Monkey    (talk)   21:37, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge to Michael Jackson. As Funky notes, this is a duplicate of the primary source (which is www.michael-jackson-trader.com).  Still waiting for that award of damages he'll owe if he can't settle a lawsuit. Mandsford 23:28, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment www.michael-jackson-trader.com does not meet the definition of primary source, unless the topic is www.michael-jackson-trader.com. --Dhartung | Talk 23:34, 2 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh shit! It's even worse than I thought! Mandsford 02:26, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, well-referenced list of one of the more award-winning artists of the 20th century, whose notability is not in question. This is far too much material to be merged, even if severely trimmed, and it fits the informational purpose of WP:LIST by being a structured list offering information beyond simply wikilinks. --Dhartung | Talk 23:34, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - reasonable sub-article of Michael Jackson, which is already over 100 KB in size. Needs some better sourcing though. Otto4711 22:09, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * That's the reason why I afd it. There have only been primary sources for this article since its inception.  I tagged it last year, and again in July after the tags mysterious disappearance, but no verifiable sources have been supplied. We're not a fan site here and all these awards are sourced direct from the subject itself.  Clearly unencyclopedic in its current form.   Funky Monkey    (talk)   23:33, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * In the time it took you to tag this for AFD, a simple Google News search would have turned up the sources the article needs. "Unsourced" does not mean "unsourceable" expecially when you're talking about something like music awards. Otto4711 03:19, 4 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep merging it in the article is simply too unwieldy.--victor falk 23:12, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Too numerous to merge into the main article. This can be a featured list just like List of Crowded House awards. Spellcast 11:10, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
