The result was redirect‎ to Turkvision Song Contest#Bala Turkvision Song Contest. As the merger has apparently been done, and this preserves attribution. Star Mississippi 15:29, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable event, failed attempt at a new competition format with only a single occurance. Fails WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. Largely based on one source for majority of references, with additional primary sources, and a lot of information presented is also unverified. Parent article (Bala Turkvision Song Contest) was PRODded successfully for similar reasons, leaving limited options for redirection of this article.

Delete per nom. I had already merged the important information from this article into the parent Turkvision Song Contest article in anticipation of the prior PROD being successful. Grk1011 (talk) 14:04, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Grk1011: please see WP:PROMERGE for instructions on doing this sort of consolidation in the future. It is rare for us to need to delete anything to accomplish a merge. ~Kvng (talk) 20:31, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Kvng: By "merge" I meant that I took the relevant sources from this article and wrote a more concise recap in the main article. Yes, I could have also just redirected this article to that section, but I think the spirit of this AfD was that a redirect is potentially unnecessary as well.

WP:CHEAP. Keeping also avoids time spent by editors in AfD, time that is better spent improving the encyclopedia. ~Kvng (talk) 12:52, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Comment If material from the nominated article has been merged, wouldn't it be best to redirect to that target? Joyous! Noise! 17:33, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As per Grk1011's explanation above, it was not necessarily a "merge" but more a case of a summary of the topic of this article being added to that article. I don't believe that a redirect is the best course of action for this article given that there is not necessarily a direct link between the two articles, and that deletion is a "cleaner" method of dealing this article which does not pass Wikipedia's notability guidelines.

Redirect to Turkvision Song Contest#Bala_Turkvision_Song_Contest. ~Kvng (talk) 20:31, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
