This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Albums and songs. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Albums and songs|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Albums and songs. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Found a review of the album in Billboard, but no other evidence of notability. No valid redirect targets that I'm aware of. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 23:19, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

- Delete: Could it be the soundtrack for this PBS special [1]? They both came out about the same time... Very minimal review in a Seattle newspaper [2]. I'm not seeing enough extensive coverage to build an article here. Oaktree b (talk) 03:56, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: I can't wrap my head around the idea to delete an album that shows various musicians paying tribute to another. Many of them are a surprise in this context, so the tracks are a valuable addition to their discography too. The album had an international release in eight countries, it comprises original material, some nowhere else to be found, others featured on later compilations (eg k.d. lang, m.bublé) Discogs.
- I understand the point of the album not being better documented. But on the web it is is a little harder to find reviews from 2007, many papers don't have a proper archive that is easy to access. There are many lemmas of albums with only a reference to AllMusic where this album has also a review. (It is actually found everywhere my search shows, deezer, jazzecho, jambase, spotify, apple...) It is a release of the Ella Fitzgerald Charitable Foundation, who has heard about that? archieved booklet
- It is certainly good music. So why would you want to delete it! Isn't there anything else to do? Improve this article?/ MenkinAlRire 08:55, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
- The concern is with notability, i.e. encyclopedias (and thus Wikipedia) do not include all available information indiscriminately. If there isn't reliable coverage available that shows notability, then there's nothing to be improved upon. The AllMusic review is useful in this regard, but the rest of your links aren't for various reasons. And we can't just keep the album because notable artists were involved, as notability is not inherited. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 09:31, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
- Comment but most likely keep--It charted on the Billboard 200 and gets lots of hits in ProQuest, for one--granted, that is picking up "release date" articles and some repeated wire service articles. It was reviewed in Popular Music and Society and other publications. We're paying for The Wikipedia Library[3], folks... Caro7200 (talk) 14:32, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
- Keep I have added reviews from The Boston Globe, The Philadelphia Daily News, The Baltimore Sun, The Buffalo News and The Evening Standard found in The Wikipedia Library. No Swan So Fine (talk) 14:05, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Previously redirected as a result of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nine Lives (Def Leppard song). Recreated but with no indication of passing WP:NSONG or WP:GNG. A WP:BEFORE search fails to come up with anything to establish notability. John B123 (talk) 19:45, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Albums and songs and Music. John B123 (talk) 19:45, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect and salt: article has been recreated and re-redirected numerous times since that first AfD, including once less than a month after the AfD. Clearly, Martiniturbide disagrees with that result as they've been the one restoring the article every time (and they have a statement here expressing as much), but everything that was said in 2009 still holds true, as does everything said in this nomination. Given their history, it seems safe to assume Martiniturbide wouldn't cease their activity even with a renewed consensus, so I supporting salting to prevent further disruption. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 21:58, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
- I don't understand why Wikipedian think that the article is irrelevant while there are other artist that have their singles articles. It is just explained that it does not fit the "notability guidelines" and does not provide details. The deletion of this page is subjective to the wikipedian humor. I disagreed with you "Salting" and I can not find evidence of your statement that "everything that was said in 2009 still holds true". Martiniturbide (talk) 22:20, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
- You haven't shown how it passes any of the criteria for WP:NSONG, nor do any of the sources in the article pass WP:RS. Richard3120 (talk) 19:59, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- Which specific criteria? For me it covers the criteria. The page you link says "..may be notable if it meets at least one of these criteria".
- non-trivial: It is a non-trivial Def Leppard song since it is the first time the band records a duet in a studio record. Also Tim McGraw is a well recognized American country singer. Martiniturbide (talk) 12:26, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Fails WP:NALBUM and WP:GNG. Appears to have not charted or been covered by reliable sources - May be some Japanese coverage, but difficult to locate. Mdann52 (talk) 06:49, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

- Redirect to Green Day discography#Extended plays: None of the coverage in the article is from reliable sources, and I found no reliable coverage. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 12:46, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: The Japanese title is Bakuhatsu Live! +5 and charted at number 45 on the Oricon Albums Chart. I wasn't able to find much in the way of reviews, but I admittedly only made a surface-level check (爆発ライブ!+5, if anyone wants to search further for sources). IanTEB (talk) 20:38, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
- Someone has found a oricon article on this EP where it shows to have charted. number 8 on the reference page Stnh1206 (talk) 00:31, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
- Comment:Except it's not an EP, it's the same length and a longer track listing than the bands debut album. If it's redirected it should be to live albums, but if it's charted it shouldn't be redirected, just retitled.Hoponpop69 (talk) 13:04, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Couldn't find a reliable source verifying notability of or significantly covering the whole song by the Supremes. Sure, it charted in (West) Germany, but that's all I can find. If it fails GNG, then the song may also fail WP:NSONG. Even if notable, the article won't likely expand in the near or far future. George Ho (talk) 07:39, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Non notable album with only one reference. Was about to BLAR it, but would be challenged. PROD would also be challenged too. No sources I can find online. ToadetteEdit! 18:17, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

- Keep. Reviews in [4] Ox Fanzine (German printed magazine), Visions (German printed magazine), Skin Up (German zine), [5] Sputnik Music (marked as staff review), Punknews.org, [6] Allmusic (short). And these are only the ones that have survived online for a 1997 album. Geschichte (talk) 21:37, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
