An old local compilation album that has not gained notability or any notice as a historical item of interest. There is one minor source stating the album's existence at Spirit of Metal and a few track lists at blogs and retail sites. But that's all. Also note that a companion album is currently in the AfD process here. DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 20:37, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Margewith Excel (band) per WP:NALBUMS. Article is a stub without likelihood of expansion. History shows very little editing done to article to make it anything more than a stub. ~ [ Scott M. Howard ] ~ [ Talk ]:[ Contribs ] ~ 00:49, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Not sure if such a merge would be a good idea (procedurally) because Excel is just one of several bands on this various-artists compilation. --DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 14:47, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - My mistake. I simply didn't scroll down far enough to see the multiple bands. Since that is the case, my vote is now to delete. ~ [ Scott M. Howard ] ~ [ Talk ]:[ Contribs ] ~ 18:45, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Merge - While merging a complete track listing into each band's page wouldn't be easy, mentioning this as an official studio album in each band's page will work. Also, this was not a local release. This was a nationwide release (I purchased my copy in Kansas City - very far from Venice). It was also ranked high in both Thrasher and Transworld magazines, which may be why the Venice rock scene garnered such a strong skateboarder following after the Dogtown skate influence was already dwindling. Of course, this all took place long before the Internet, so you won't turn up much in a Google search. -- kainaw™ 19:47, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- If anyone can find references to those two magazine reviews, that might help, but once again I don't think a merge to each band will work out procedurally. However, at each band's respective discography article (or section within the band article) their participation in this release could be mentioned as an item of historical interest. --DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:35, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
