This is article is nonessential. The information here is supposed to be on other articles pertaining to Britney Spears, not a whole article to itself. The "Music videos" and "Video/Live albums" should be listed in her Discography. The "MTV Video Music Awards and nominations" is already listed in her Awards page, and only one of the ten "Miscellaneous videos" has a source, and the one with a source should be added to the album that it's listed as being related to.

Merge and redirect to Britney Spears discography — Gwalla | Talk 16:24, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I have been planning to expand it for quite a while and to make it an actual FA such as Madonna videography. But at the moment i'm busy writing other articles, so if I can create it again I wouldn't mind if it was merged for a few weeks.Xwomanizerx (talk) 01:51, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Well that hasn't happened, and I don't think Britney has enough videos to create a Videography like Madonna's.Gabe19 (talk) 01:39, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment: Yes, Britney's videos are less than Madonna's, but that doesn't mean that the BS article can be written like the Madonna's article is! A videography is not merely about the amount of videos, you can check any other videography, and you'll see that a lot of them doesn't have hundreds and hundreds of videos, like Pink Floyd videography, which, BTW, also list video releases, and have less information than Britney' videography, or check Fat Joe videography, an article practically empty. You can alse see Beyoncé Knowles videography. That article follows Spears' videography format, with the exception of the filmography, which on BS article is only mentioned and redirected to the filmography article. (Note: I am not arguing "Why this article exist and it is not being deleted", I'm just showing how the argument might be erroneous, or might be ignoring a lot of facts.

Comment: I just added some references to the "Miscellaneous videos", so you can't argue that topic. Fortunato luigi (talk) 05:26, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Just because those videos now have references doesn't mean the entire article should be kept.Gabe19 (talk) 01:39, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment: Of course no!!! Dah! I just did that and wrote that in order to counteract one of your "should be deleted" points. Fortunato luigi (talk) 02:41, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The Discography is an article that does not cover the Videography of the artists, it just cover the "disc", meaning albums or singles, but doesn't cover music videos or songs, so the can't be merged. Besides, one of the users here just said that he/she will improve the whole article, and while that happens, some references were added. The "Videography" of an artist is really important, is a relevant article for the artist, like with all the other artist out there, BS can have a Videography article (I am not saying "why does he has a videography article?" just saying that since it is important, relevant artist should have articles like this one). Furthermore, Spears' music videos have been a really important fact for her career, so it is important to mention then and list them. Fortunato luigi (talk) 05:26, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: All Artists' Discographies list Music Videos, in addition to the 'disc', (charted singles, albums' success, and the like.) And the user said he's been planning on it for some time, but that time hasn't come. Also, live albums and awards aren't supposed to be listed in this article.Gabe19 (talk) 01:40, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment: ^^ Both, Madonna videography and Michael Jackson videography are articles that list live albums or home releases, and both of them are FL-Class articles, that show no problems, and with all reason, having the "video releases" list, included. On the other hand, planing means that it'll happen eventually, so why would we delete the article, if he/she is planning to bring it back on the future and will re-write it following the scheme of the FL-Class article "Madonna videography". The reason why the awards are listed here, is because it is an article about the music videos, and those are exclusively the music video awards and nominations.

Keep Its an acceptable list article, showing information about the videos, and linking to the proper pages about the songs for more information. Each video on the list got massive television play, and many were talked about. Some of these videos even won awards. Dream Focus 05:20, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:SIZE. Needs to be separate from discography because it is so long. Besides that, it does meet notability guidelines. Dew Kane (talk) 04:10, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Leave Britney Spears videography alone! TomCat4680 (talk) 04:59, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
