Discussed on Talk:Morning Musume#Merger discussion. The article's topic is simply about casting calls/auditions to Morning Musume (not even a competition reality show), which does not meet WP:NMUSIC, and is a list of trivia with no references. The only source listed is Generasia, which is a wiki. There is also information about "qualifications" to joining, which violates WP:NOTAGUIDE and WP:NOTFANWEBSITE. lullabying (talk) 08:33, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. While being a wiki does not per se exclude a sournce from being reliable, in this case their policy page says "Open Community: Recognise that articles can be changed by anyone...". So not in any way RS, even if it verified everything in the article, which it is very far from doing. SpinningSpark 13:28, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I suppose it is possible to source this via primary sources, and one might could find some secondary sources, maybe even reliable ones, to verify this--but even then, this is the level of detail that serves no encyclopedic purpose. The GNG doesn't just require mentions; it wants in-depth commentary that can help us assess whether something matters or not. Drmies (talk) 16:20, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment No opinion on whether this topic merits its own article, but given the popularity and influence of this group in Japan, any information in this article that is WP:TRUE can probably be verified in reliable sources, so the lack of non-wiki sources currently cited in the article is not really relevant.

- @Hijiri88: I don't doubt that sources can be found but the article itself is a list of trivia and also contains details like guidelines on how to audition. This isn't even a competition reality show like Produce 101 or Asayan; they're just casting calls. lullabying (talk) 03:36, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
