The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's
talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
This is the English Wikipedia and so there will naturally be a particular interest in the UK entries here. If this information is scattered across dozens of articles, then this page seems quite helpful as a summary and to assist navigation. This is quite valid per
WP:LISTPURP.

All the summary information from this article is already in summary format at
Eurovision: Your Country Needs You and has been for quite sometime. This article has few citations, an unsourced trivia section. Perhaps merging and redirect this article into Eurovision: Your Country Needs You, is more viable. Wes Mouse | T@lk16:33, 1 November 2014 (UTC)reply
How is it a misleading title? That was the most recent name for the show that took charge of selecting the UK's entry. And AFD is not just to discuss deletion nominees, but to also discuss other factors that may be better than deletion - such as if people feel merging, redirecting etc would be more appropriate. That is the whole point of a debate, a discussion process to find a consensus outcome. And I stand by my argument that this article is pure overkill of information that is already housed at
United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest. Even the article talk page states that it is most likely a redundant/duplicated article. It is clear that all these articles are covering the same subject matter, which breaks the spirit of
content forking, which states that "a content fork is the creation of multiple separate articles all treating the same subject. Content forks that are created unintentionally result in redundant or conflicting articles and are to be avoided." And point 5 of the
WP:DEL-REASON states that content forking is a valid reason for deletion, unless a merger or redirect is more appropriate. The only way we'd know if the other options are appropriate is through discussion via AfD. Wes Mouse | T@lk19:14, 1 November 2014 (UTC)reply
