[edit] Madonna's controversies

  • Redundant article. There is no need of separate page for controversies. Vikrant 11:15, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Hmmm. She was controversial? Who knew? As with Michael Jackson, this is one of these cases where the person's work and their spare time have both been the subject of a lot of ink over the years. I believe this was created as a fork after the article about the Material Girl started to have too much material. Keep. Mandsford (talk) 13:16, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep This article is not entirely redundant from the main article. However, this was also not a properly performed split according to WP:SUMMARY (Not that I know what that guideline looked like at the time). The article was created by Dsm14 and mentioned in the parent article simply with this edit. Depending on WP:SIZE and consensus, worthwhile content should be moved back to the parent article and this article be blanked, or controversy from the parent article be properly moved to this article, so as to follow WP:SUMMARY. Either way, this is a task for the appropriate discussion pages, not AFD. -Verdatum (talk) 15:45, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per Mandsford and Verdatum. --Pwnage8 (talk) 18:56, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - if relinked to main article with a summary. Otherwise delete as a content fork. EJF (talk) 16:51, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Madonna (entertainer). All of the above arguments make sense to me, but the conclusion to "keep" this simply does not. Madonna's biography already deals significantly with criticism and controversy. If the Madonna article is getting to long, it should be broken down per WP:SUMMARY, but separating out the controversy is a very poor idea. As for merging content back, that priority has to take a back seat when we're dealing with forking. Make the article a redirect, the history will be there if anyone wants to merge any of the text. (Note, though, that the text here is a lot less good, and a lot less referenced, than the original article.) Mangojuicetalk 18:58, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Madonna (entertainer) per Mangojuice. Greswik (talk) 20:13, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Redirect by now until someone fix article to conform to WP:SUMMARY. Carlosguitar (ready and willing) 22:36, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
