*'''Strong Keep''', the article is no different than any other soundtrack (video game, movie, or otherwise). The division into different years (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010) was done due to the ever expanding size of the article. The article (along with '''all''' articles related to the Rock Band soundtrack) were strongly kept in a snowball decision the last time, and the nominator has brought nothing new to the discussion to demonstrate why this AfD should be discussed yet again. I also question why the nominator felt it neccesary to single out 2009 when articles also exist for [[2007 in downloadable songs for the Rock Band series|2007]], [[2008 in downloadable songs for the Rock Band series|2008]], and [[2010 in downloadable songs for the Rock Band series|2010]]. Perhaps more familiarity with the history of discussions with these articles would help them understand the reason this article exists. -- '''[[User:TRTX|TRTX]] <sup><small>[[User_talk:TRTX|T]] / [[Special:Contributions/TRTX|C]]</small></sup>''' 16:07, 28 February 2010 (UTC) |

:*''Additional Note'' - The nominator's reasons for deletion misrepresent the actual discussion that took place during previous round of AFDs, and seems to be an argument towards a closed AFD as opposed to any new reasoning for why this discussion should be reopened. -- '''[[User:TRTX|TRTX]] <sup><small>[[User_talk:TRTX|T]] / [[Special:Contributions/TRTX|C]]</small></sup>''' 16:19, 28 February 2010 (UTC) |

*'''Keep''' since the consensus of the WP community is that WP should be a storage place for all published information in case there is a nuclear war, gigantic solar flare, or alien invasion and all the rest of the Internet and all libraries are destroyed leaving WP alone to preserve human civilisation.

2009 in downloadable songs for the Rock Band series
AfDs for this article:
- 2009 in downloadable songs for the Rock Band series (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log • AfD statistics)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
The few parts of this which are not WP:OR are either about the game generally or drawn from sources which are not independent, being drawn from press releases. The Rock Band series is notable. The fact you can download songs for it is significant to the Rock Band game. 2009 in sport, yes. 2009 in fashion, perhaps. but 2009 in downloadable songs for the Rock Band series? That belongs on a fan-wiki. Previously kept based on WP:ITSUSEFUL and similar arguments and the fact that the list had become unwieldy. The way to deal with unwieldy original research is not to split it out into smaller chunks of original research. Guy (Help!) 09:01, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

- Stronb Keep This is not OR. The coverage of what songs come out each week is first announced and then subsequently tracked by Harmonix as a primary source, but will always be covered by multiple sources once they've made that announcement. (See, for example, this list of google news results that are for next week's DLC; yes, not every hit is a reliable source, but there's certainly are more than a few (1UP.com, IGN) that are. This demonstrates that independent sources place value on this information) If it made sense, we could source the entirety of this to those sources, but it doesn't here; all the information can be sourced from one place, and one ref is much more valuable than what would need to be 52 separate ones. --MASEM (t) 14:09, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

- Delete, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Not everything that is true, or even verifiable, belongs in Wikipedia. As the nominator says, this may belong on a fan wiki, but it doesn't really have a place in an encyclopedia. Nyttend (talk) 15:50, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
- Because there is a noted connection between appearing as DLC and the impact on a band or song sales as a result (see, for example, [1]), in addition to these games having an otherwise larger impact on the music industry, this is not just flat out information for information purposes, but a means to allow those researching music to follow the trends. --MASEM (t) 16:34, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
