Nominees
Why can't someone just list the nominees here for the time being? Not everyone can access a Yahoo! page... restrictions and what not.
It has been said that the Police are reuniting to perform at the Grammy's. Shouldn't that be notable enough to warrent mention here, considering they haven't been together in about 25+ years.

A look through the recent edits has indicated that several editors (some showing anon IP addresses) have vandalized certain parts of this article, and I suppose it had much to do with the Dixie Chicks' five wins last night. Yes, I understand that their big night was unpopular with many people, but this is not the forum to vent our disapproval. This is an article simply about who won what awards, and the fact is the Dixie Chicks won. To that end, to discourage further vandalism, I wonder if it might be a good idea to watch this page and possibly consider at least semi-protection? Thanks! [[

Umm...
Happened again. I suggest a temporary lock.
New comments about this article
A few points to make here, which I'll cover at once:
1. This page now needs protecting. I had reverted an edit to remove nonsense about Communism, which has nothing to do the 2007 Grammys. There was also an unsourced statement I removed alleging bribery, which has no merit without a source.
2. Should the process of voting be moved to the main
Grammy Awards page? The process has not significantly changed from year to year, so I see no reason to include the process in this article (or in other Grammy Awards of x-year articles either, if it is included).
Patricknoddy — You'd agree that this page should be protected, or the process moved to the general Grammy Awards page? Just want to see where specifically you stand. [[

It appears this article's title is consistent with the other Grammy Award event pages (e.g.,
Grammy Awards of 1985). My guess is that it is easier for users to look up a Grammy Awards event by year, rather than the number of the event (e.g., 49th Annual). There is a redirect for users who type "49th Annual Grammy Awards" to this page. Hope this helps! [[

Requested move
The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
Add # '''Support''' or # '''Oppose''' on a new line in the appropriate section followed by a brief explanation, then sign your opinion using ~~~~. Please remember that this survey is
not a vote, and please provide an explanation for your recommendation.
Partial Support. The name most often used isNth Annual Grammy Awards, so that's the format the names should follow. --

OPPOSE — While tariqabjotu is correct in that Grammy ceremony broadcasts are referred to as "Xth Annual Grammy Awards," few people remember them by the number of the event; they remember it more by the year. The idea of Wikipedia, I believe, is not only to present knowledge and information, but to do so in a manner that makes it as easy as possible for people to find the article of interest. Yes, redirects to each year-specific page could be put in place, but that does not change my vote. The introductory suffices in calling each event by its proper name (e.g., The 49th annual Grammy Awards ...), despite the title. I do not believe it would cause any confusion. [[

Strongly OpposeWP:MOS clearly states that pagenames should exist for the benefit of the reader, not editors. That's why we have
Polar Bear and not some Latin name no-one recognizes. This is a non-issue if we follow Wikipedia conventions.Xiner (

If you're going to make a statement like the one made in the last sentence, you should be specific about which part of the Manual of Style makes this a non-issue; as I'm sure you know, the Manual of Style is very large. I strongly disagree that this is a non-issue; note the examples mentioned in response to Serge under the support section which show that if this truly is a non-issue, we have been disillusioned for a long time.
Polar Bear is a clear case where
the Common Names Manual of Style comes into play, given that few people know its binomial nomenclature. However, Grammy Awards of 2007drastically falls short of being considered a common name; and 49th Grammy Awards (or 49th Annual Grammy Awards) falls drastically short of being considered as unknown as Ursus maritimus. -- tariqabjotu22:27, 16 February 2007 (UTC)reply
You're right, hyperboles don't win arguments. Alright,
this page lists the 49th Annual Grammy Awards as the name of the show. Various sources seem to call the actual awards either "49th Grammy Awards" or "2007 Grammy Awards".

Xiner — While I agree that articles on television shows normally should be titled according to their common name, I wouldn't know what article to look up offhand if I were searching for, say, the 1978 Grammy event (the 20th annual show). Unless there are redirects pointing us to the correct page, I cannot support your argument. [[
Briguy5274823:31, 16 February 2007 (UTC)]]reply
Sorry, I guess I should have known that a renamed page's old title automatically is redirected (and I apologize Xiner if there was any misrepresentation in my earlier statement). Yes, I suppose "1978 Grammy Awards" is a better title. [[

I will not move them for you, you will have to do it (make sure you take care of any double redirects). But if there are any you can not move because of a technical block (like a page history) then let me know on my talk page and I'll help you with those. --

Rap, World, and Alternative
Are any of the nominees from any of the awards from these genres there? I know
Ludacris won a Grammy, and
T.I. was nominated, c'mon guys. Please help. -
