List of Welsh artists nominated for MTV Europe Music Awards

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This seems to be a textbook case of a non-encyclopaedic cross-categorisation that does not warrant a stand-alone article. I was tempted to bundle in List of Belgian artists nominated for MTV Europe Music Awards, List of Finnish artists nominated for MTV Europe Music Awards and List of Russian artists nominated for MTV Europe Music Awards but at least those lists have more than one entry. There is simply no evidence to suggest that any reliable sources have dedicated any serious level of coverage into categorising MTV Europe Award winners by their nationality. This seems to be something that only Wikipedia has attributed any importance to.

The content is already covered in MTV Europe Music Award for Best Song, MTV Europe Music Award for Best New Act, MTV Europe Music Award for Best Album and List of awards and nominations received by Duffy so we lose nothing through deleting this.


 * WP:LISTN - this is not covered significantly by reliable sources independent of the subject
 * WP:LISTPURP - this list is not a valuable information source, it does not assist in navigation and it does not aid in development of the encyclopaedia
 * WP:SALAT - I don't believe that this list meets the principles outlined here; it's too specific to have any encyclopaedic value and I do not personally believe that it contributes effectively to this great encyclopaedia
 * WP:ATD - I would strongly oppose any attempt to merge this article as its content is already in enough places as mentioned above this bullet point list. There is no obvious redirect target and it's not a plausible search term. The article is too old to be sent to draft space. Spiderone  14:47, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

 * should we delete List of Dutch artists nominated for MTV Europe Music Awards?--Spacejam2 (talk) 15:54, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Potentially. The issue is that there do not seem to be reliable sources discussing the nationality of the award winners. If we, as editors, need to compile the information ourselves, then this is WP:OR, which is strongly discouraged by Wikipedia Spiderone  17:14, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
