Does not require its own article vast majority of information is already in the Grammy Awards of 1960 & 1959 articles.. Other nominees is not sourced and not required. ツStacey (talk) 11:23, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This article should be expanded to include details about the nominated and winning artists/works. Alternatively, if this Grammy category was merged into another, then a redirect would work. Please do not delete a page about a Grammy award category. We have (Good status, BTW) Wikipedia articles about categories only presented for one year (examples: Grammy Award for Best Disco Recording, Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance Vocal or Instrumental), so there is precedent for keeping even short-lived awards. There are sources on the article's talk page for expansion. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:17, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It's a Grammy, which means plenty of media coverage. If there were a Discontinued Grammy Awards, then it could be merged there, but otherwise, there's no good redirect target. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:24, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Clarityfiend: Thanks for your improvements to the article. Now that the article is sourced, can I change my vote to speedy keep and close? :p ---Another Believer _(Talk) 02:22, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. For large-scale awards programs such as the Grammies or the Oscars where awards are presented in many categories, the most useful presentation is for us to have a separate article about each year's ceremony that lists the winners in all categories for that year and a separate article about each category which lists the winners across the years in that category. Each category does not need to separately clear WP:GNG on its own separately from the fact that the overall awards program has already cleared GNG, because the category is not really a standalone topic — the burden of clearing GNG is on the Grammy Awards as a whole, not on each individual category. The separate by-year and by-category articles are a formatting choice; we spin off the separate subpages in order to keep the parent article at a manageable size, not because each category is really a truly standalone topic independently of the Grammies as a whole. Yes, there's some potential for this to be improved, but it should be kept — because if it doesn't exist, then where is a user supposed to go to (a) compare the winners across the years in which it was presented, or (b) find any information about why it stopped being presented after 1960? If this category had been presented only once, then we could justifiably redirect it to the article for that year — but if it was presented more than once, then there's an WP:XY competition between the years.

Keep per Bearcats and Clarityfiend. Worth keeping as it was a Grammy. --TheSandDoctor (talk) 20:40, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
