Shakira Studies

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

There is no exists something called "Shakira Studies" in media and academic circles. Beyond this, most of major music acts have received dedicated scholarly articles but there is not a justification in this case to have a separate article because she's not a recognized "topic" among scholars. There is not exists citations from one academic to other, among others essencial stuffs in the scholarship discourse. In addition, current article doesn't present any relevant view from academic fields. This is a WP:CFORK of the Cultural impact of Shakira and an inspired-article in the Madonna studies (WP:OTHERSTUFF), which has been a very exceptional case in the international academia world from a musician.

 * Keep - I personally believe that although it is too early for an article like this to be expanded, Shakira is a force to be reckoned with in terms of Latin culture and many times, at least in my university, she has been taken as an example of her success and legacy. PasandolaYourpower (talk) 22:56, 7 March 2022 (UTC) — is a confirmed sock puppet of.
 * Like I said, pop stars usually have received scholarly attention from articles to courses, but the problem is creating a whole article (starting from a title that virtually doesn't exists by third-party sources) and when 5 or 10 scholarly articles, or 5 courses doesn't make you an established topic. The literature about her in the academic world is poor and not officially "recognized" by others authoritative sources. Academic's point of view on Shakira is not articulated; take an imaginary example of a comment from one eminent academic and hasn't been discussed/cited etc by other academics and from an international sphera; that's a normal process in socio-cultural perspectives in academia world. This doesn't happen to Shakira, and with the article as a whole. --Apoxyomenus (talk) 23:05, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I support the idea of ​​changing the name or even merging it with Shakira's Cultural Impact page. AlexanderShakifan29 (talk) 01:03, 8 March 2022 (UTC) — AlexanderShakifan29 (talk • contribs) is blocked for having used sockpuppets in this debate.

We could change the title of the article to something more appropriate, but it has sources and everything to be a good article in the future. In these times, Shakira is already given the recognition she deserves. PasandolaYourpower (talk) 23:36, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment: there is already Cultural impact of Shakira and Bibliography of works on Shakira... this seems to be splitting Shakira articles down into ever smaller detail, when they could be merged. Richard3120 (talk) 23:59, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Most of those sources seem to be social commentary in pop culture magazines, journalism, opinion pieces, etc. Are there any reliable secondary sources in the article that establish notability for a field called "Shakira studies"? Do any of those sources explicitly use the term "Shakira studies"? -- Scyrme (talk) 14:32, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

Delete - The article is essay-like, and as far as I can tell the sources do not establish notability for its topic, namely an academic field called "Shakira studies". Large parts are evidently copied, including sources, so I don't see what's worth merging. (eg. from Cultural impact of Shakira) -- Scyrme (talk) 14:32, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge to Cultural impact of Shakira and leave an .  casualdejekyll  02:45, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
