WP:ESSAY with mostly unsourced claims. I suggest the topic is better covered within Arts journalism, until a properly sourced version is long enough to require its own page. MrsSnoozyTurtle 00:18, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
Withdrawn by nominator. Hopefully those people stating that a cleanup can rectify this situation will do so. MrsSnoozyTurtle 23:12, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
- Keep Definitely needs improvement, but this is a well-known beat for newspapers in larger markets (and in the past before hedge funds killed them, medium-market papers).

- Speedy Keep The nomination's reference to WP:ESSAY is irrelevant and erroneous. The nomination seems to be proposing merger not deletion. And the proposed target of arts journalism seems worse in every way. Andrew🐉(talk) 08:17, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
