Melody Queen

WP:DICDEF of a phrase, which just states that it exists and sources a few examples of it in use, the end. There's no context here to make it an encyclopedia article, as opposed to a dictionary definition, and I don't see how any could really be added: it's just a thing people call certain singers, not a thing that's been analyzed as a concept, so all it can ever be is a violation of the principle that Wikipedia is not a dictionary. The most comparable examples I can think of to this, King of Pop and Queen of Soul, do not exist as Wikipedia articles defining them as terms either; KoP is a dab page and QoS is just a straight redirect to Aretha.

 * Delete - this article has hardly any content and also has some bad grammar  - it lists a plural number of singers and then says "has the title" but as this comes after a plural number of singers, it should be "have the title". Vorbee (talk) 10:31, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete nothing encyclopedic about this article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:24, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete as the nominator says, it's just a few examples of journalistic use, with no encyclopedic definition or analysis of what makes these singers "melody queens". And it's not a title that is synonymous with any of those singers, in a way that "Queen of Soul" always refers to Aretha Franklin. Richard3120 (talk) 15:50, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Just a phrase occasionally used in the media. Galobtter (pingó mió) 07:22, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
