WP:GNG WP:UNSOURCED. More broadly speaking, almost all articles in Category:Turkvision Song Contest are either partially or wholly unsourced, or rely only on the official websites turkvision.info and turkvizyon.tv, or eurovoix.com. Eurovoix is probably an RS, also used for Eurovision articles, but the only serious RS which seems to report anything at all about Turkvision in the past 10 years. It seems very much like Turkvision has generally failed to imitate Eurovision, with many cancellations throughout the years and an uncertain future, and except for Eurovoix nobody really seems to have covered it. (Personally I had never heard about it until today). Many of these articles should have been inadmissible at the time of creation due to WP:GNG, and it is very much a question whether even the main article would still meet GNG after several years of opportunity to garner publicity. (There are some passages in Google Books, but I'm not sure if they would meet WP:SIGCOV). At any rate, let this list be a test case, we can look at the rest later.

Merge to Turkvision Song Contest. Doing so would not make the main article about the contest excessively long, taking into account the fact that one identical section now appears in both articles and would not need to be duplicated. As a second choice, delete per nom. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 20:29, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Largely original research and I don't think including it on Turkvision Song Contest would be due weight. With regards to Eurovoix, I suspect there is a bit of circular referencing when it comes to Turkvision. dummelaksen (talk • contribs) 01:04, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge, mostly OR and SYNTH. AryKun (talk) 04:49, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. I don't see the utility in the alternative (the merge). There are no sources provided for these languages and there doesn't appear to be anything particularly notable about them. It is no surprise that countries sent songs that included their national languages. There are too few contest years for this article to be able focus on any sort of analysis about languages in the event. Grk1011 (talk) 13:14, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete; there's nothing to merge. ―Jochem van Hees (talk) 00:19, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
