• Whether such a section has a large enough
  WP:SPLIT is a matter for ordinary editing and discussion, not deletion. Here I see further that the split-off list has been expanded with more content since the split, so at best this would be a merge and redirect, something that should have been done in the first place rather than starting a completely unnecessary AFD. No one even tried to discuss whether the split was necessary before it was nominated for deletion, not even three hours after it was created. That's not how we should be doing things here. postdlf (talk) 21:26, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply

• Keep It's brand new (obviously a work still in progress), appears to have enough sourceable content to meet GNG on its own, and the size/split issue raised by Postdlf seems to argue in favor of a summary style article. Note that the nom has not even linked to the right parent article, since Vanessa Williams is a disambiguation page. I daresay this probably has the potential to be a FL if fleshed out appropriately, and there's no good reason to be discussing deletion. Jclemens (talk) 06:05, 19 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete - Just duplicated from her main page, where it probably should belong anyways. Though it is long, I'm not sure it warrants its own page. --Wirbelwind(ヴィルヴェルヴィント) 05:58, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Vanessa L. Williams as this is best and entirely best connected to that article. SwisterTwister talk 04:07, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge: Wikipedia isn't a repository of all knowledge. There really isn't enough notable content here to warrant a separate article.

• Keep per Jclements. A legitimate
  spinout article because of its length, a standard for multiple-nominated/winner artists, it passes GNG on its own, and it even has the potential for being a featured article. I fail to see a valid argument for deletion in the comments above. Cavarrone 11:27, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply

• Comment - I could go either way on this topic. I just wanted to point out that currently her awards are split between two articles - the main page and the discography article:
  • Vanessa L. Williams discography

• • List of awards and nominations received by Whitney Houston

I do think that as it stands the

Additional Comment - I went ahead and did a very minor clean up of this page. I added the awards tables from the discography article. One advantage to this set up lies in the acting section - the editor broke down the table from the main page in a very useful manner. If we decide to keep this article, I will remove the duplicate tables on the main

Vanessa L. Williams page and the discography page. I will also develop this list a little bit, add photos etc. _Classicfilms (talk) 17:09, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply

One more comment' - If we decide to keep the article, I would like to recommend that the title be changed to: List of awards and nominations received by Vanessa Williams. -Classicfilms (talk) 15:55, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I agree with Jclemens and Cavarrone that this is a legitimate
  spinout article because of the page's lengthy size. Cunard (talk) 05:26, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply

• Keep - It's only natural for large articles to have
  summarize the main article for readability and size purposes.--MarshalN20 ^Talk 05:32, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply
