The result was delete. Consensus that this should not have its own article. Suggested that there might be some value to keep as a redirect, but as OGAE Song Contest already exists as a redirect, it seems to have no real value. TigerShark (talk) 02:10, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

OGAE Song Contest 2019

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Fan contest that fails several notability guidelines, including WP:GNG. A standalone article is not required, the winner is already covered on OGAE and the remaining songs and places are not notable and could be considered WP:FANCRUFT.

 * Delete. The fan club itself is notable, however this "alternative to Eurovision" contest appears to be just a fun yearly event for them. Neither the event nor its outcome receive substantial coverage in independent secondary sources. Grk1011 (talk) 13:09, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to OGAE as WP:ATD. ~Kvng (talk) 13:43, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I believe this article falls under point 8 of WP:DEL-REASON, and specifically under WP:GNG for "significant coverage" given it is an online-only fan contest that will never receive enough coverage to warrant its own Wikipedia article. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 16:38, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Sure but see WP:CHEAP ~Kvng (talk) 03:28, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
 * True but also WP:COSTLY. It's not a subject that is ever going to be notable enough to require its own article, so actually keeping this as a redirect may serve very little purpose, especially as anyone typing in "OGAE Song Contest" will find the parent redirect as an option before this article.

 * There is already a OGAE Song Contest redirect and I am now convinced that is sufficient for searching purposes. I still believe there is an WP:ATD case here as this is material is not entirely worthless as at least some of it could be included in the OGAE article. Leaving OGAE Song Contest 2019 as a redirect is not going to harm anyone's search experience and may encourage further improvement to OGAE in the future. ~Kvng (talk) 14:40, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
