Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Albums and songs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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:
  1. Edit this page 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.
  2. 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.

Probably not an appropriate article for that. Some of the page's content is described at Music of Nepal but I do not think that redirection or merge would suffice. Article was moved to draftspace despite one decline, and I could not find any sources describing this topic and not the music of the country in general.

Not enough coverage to justify its own page; can all just be at the band's bio. Zanahary 21:57, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Article was previously redirected but subsequently restored. Only additional source added since is for a small appearance on a small Billboard chart which seems perfectly ignorable to me in terms of notability. Restore the redirect as it was, as the subject is no more notable now than in 2022. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 11:13, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Article fails general notability (WP:GNG) and WP:NMUSIC . The only citation that provides actual information is from KnowYourMeme. Sosumiw (talk) 17:53, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t think this is a professional article for Wikipedia. Also it’s only one source cited in the article. 2600:1700:4B40:8100:B101:A0EB:170B:1661 (talk) 02:11, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. While I know KnowYourMeme generally shouldn't be cited, I believe this is a special case as it's an editorial from the website, which means it was written by someone with the authority. Besides the fact that it's already a viral, well-known meme, the song has starting entering several charts as well, so there is potential. MC-123 (talk) 00:08, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The article can of course be improved upon, and seen as there is no specific wifiskeleton article it would be nice to keep this article. It seems to be quite a large piece of his legacy and the meme surrounding it is, in my experience, quite widespread. Oscyk (talk) 00:56, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Could only find a review from Gigwise (dead link via Album of the Year, found no archive for it). Would've fully expected to find more coverage for this, but came up short. Putting this to AfD in hopes that someone else has better luck. If not, redirect to Gym Class Heroes; the album is mentioned numerous times throughout the page.

The album doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:ALBUM. The references used are essentially track listings. I was unable to find anything more substantial. JSFarman (talk) 00:21, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NALBUM. The album has no significant coverage, award wins/nominations, music chart history. The same goes for the songs on the album. The page's references rely on music store links (Bandcamp, iTunes, BigCartel). Other "sources" include expired links and YouTube links. There are no further sources that can be gathered to support any album sale claims, recording dates, etc. Sackkid (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 02:29, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Sy_Smith#2011–2015:_Fast_and_Curious ApexParagon (talk) 03:08, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Note I think it is worth nominating the artist page for deletion too. While she has an Emmy nomination, it doesn't strengthen the article and frankly she doesn't much media coverage outside of blogs. There is a Billboard charting song but again, the page is a weak keep at best. So I am open to nominating that page for deletion as well. Sackkid (talk) 03:43, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

NN song. Have changed this to a redirect to the album but edit is being reverted. Seeking consensus. TheLongTone (talk) 13:46, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: It has charted on some music charts. Also its content can't be ignored.

EP fails all ramifications of WP:NALBUM and generally fails to meet WP:GNG. A cursory search did not help at all. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 12:48, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No sources that I could find to confirm the article meeting WP:NALBUM. Most coverage of albums called "Zero Hour" is in reference to other albums with the same title. -Samoht27 (talk) 06:13, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Subject fails WP:NSONG and there are no sources to establish WP:GNG either. There are no critical reception, chart performances, etc, none that I can find from a cursory search. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 11:26, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: I'm relisting this as I was going to close this as a Merge to Season of Darkness but found that article is also at AFD. So, given that fact and seeing that the likely closure there is a Redirect, does that impact people's opinions?

Album fails WP:NALBUM, a cursory search does not help either. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 15:07, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

comment I did find this in depth review [2] but not much else and the article is pretty devoid of information. --hroest 17:21, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The article is newly created. SRamzy (talk) 23:15, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I created the article because the album forms part of a notable artistic shift for Natasha St-Pier. The artist is one of the best known contemporary female French pop artists, known for her appearance in Eurovision Song Contest 2001, and for a string of hit albums of a strictly secular nature. Her shift to a Catholic devotional theme created considerable comment, as is reflected in the biography on the RFI website: note that this significant coverage in a reliable, independent source. SRamzy (talk) 10:35, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@User:SRamzy if this was so significant in her musical biography, there should be a couple of article that discuss this that appear in WP:RS. Could you provide any such discussions of this album in particular and add them to the article? --hroest 19:19, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete some useful information here and there but not deep discussion regarding this album. Only a couple of interviews, which is clearly self promo, no independent third part coverage such as album reviews. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 06:41, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: From NALBUM: "All articles on albums or other recordings should meet the basic criteria at the notability guidelines, with significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Where is the coverage? Geschichte (talk) 11:00, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: WP:NALBUM says an album is notable if it has appeared on any country's national music chart. lescharts.com is listed in WP:GOODCHARTS as a reliable charting source. It was also certified gold in France (also a WP:NALBUM guideline). Itzcuauhtli11 (talk) 15:08, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: This article has been significantly improved since I nominated it and the editor has made it clearer on why they think NALBUM is met, and I agree with them; the gold certification coupled with the national chart (all which the article wasn't representing as of my nomination), is sufficient NALBUM pass for me.
