It seems odd to have a list article with a single entry. Further, given that there's only one person on this list, I suspect that there are no sources to support the notability, such as would satisfy WP:LISTN, of the compiling of all Beninese winners and nominees of Grammy Awards into a list.

• Strange, but the manual of style section on lists does not expressly state that a stand-alone list page must contain more than one list item. However, the discussion references terms in plural so perhaps the authors' assumed that a list must contain multiple items. (Alternatively, perhaps we could also have lists with zero items?) The list layout basics start with: "Do not use a list if a passage is understood easily as regular text." The list could be replaced with a statement in the Angelique Kidjo article that she is the only Beninese Grammy Award nominee or winner. Accordingly delete. --Rpclod (talk) 02:35, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Possibilities abound. List of U. S. presidents from Hope, Arkansas. List of Polish popes. List of Antarctic wineries. Largoplazo (talk) 03:37, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Hahaha. List of Polish popes exists (as a redirect to List of popes by country, though). Largoplazo (talk) 03:38, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete And nominate all the other "List of [insert country here] Grammy Award winners for deletion as well. Pointless and lacks references from third-party sources. Erick (talk) 03:33, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete for the same reason as stated by Rpclod. I also concur with Magiciandude (Erick) that there are a large number of similar lists created by the same user that should also be deleted for the same reasons. Dan arndt (talk) 09:09, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, sorry, I hadn't even noticed that your list was just of lists with one person on them. I thought you were trying to list all of them, taking into account the WP:LISTN rationale. Largoplazo (talk) 15:21, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Strongly Keep - Check, List of Urdu songs recorded by Kumar Sanu, a songs' list with only one entry and having no reference was kept for several years. And also there is several articles who have very less entries and that articles are kept. List of Argentine Nobel laureates, List of Pakistani Nobel laureates and List of Korean Nobel laureates, just 5, 2 and 1 entries respectively. I think you should delete these articles first. If these articles can stand why shouldn't this one? You cant say it has not reference or notability. Totally biased and pointless decision by some people I think, If there are lists about List of Brazilian, Argentine, Indian olympic medalists, oscar winners with just 2-10 entries, I think this article should also stand. Thank you. মাখামাখি (talk) 09:33, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - I've improved this article by adding two more nominations, this article has now 6 entries, 2 wins and 4 nominations in multiple (2) categories. This is all for Beninese singers, I cannot Give Grammy to any artist to add up to his country's tally, just List of Korean Nobel laureates has just 1 entry (!!!). You can say these articles as short, but not unimportant or pointless মাখামাখি (talk) 11:21, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• (1) My point is that this list contains one item, so there's nothing to be achieved by pointing out the existence of lists that have 2+ items and are, therefore, nontrivially lists. (2) Read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. There have been times I've submitted articles for deletion after someone has brought them to my attention to justify a new article with flaws that it shared with them. (3) Please enlighten me as to the nature of this bias you are accusing me of (bias has to be about something) and then prepare to defend your accusation (including why you think I can't possibly really have begun this discussion for the reason I gave) and your violation of WP:Assume good faith.

• You mention List of Urdu songs recorded by Kumar Sanu three days after it was deleted. Just so: Sometimes articles do remain here a long time before someone notices that they merit deletion. Largoplazo (talk) 11:58, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
