Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Albums and songs
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.

- Delete — (moderate to strong) — simply not seeing notability, coverage, or impact. Article created by a single-purpose user. Interestingly, the (all-related) articles this user has edited/created all mention one “Damien Drake.” On the article in-question, we have this gem:
The recording session was filmed live aboard the Sloop, while sailing up and down the Hudson River. The music video, directed by Damien Drake, can be viewed on YouTube: It is one of the few, if not the only, music videos sanctioned and planned with Seeger and filmed especially to accompany one of his songs. The single is available for download on iTunes, Amazon.com, and all digital retailers.
So. Yeah. At the absolute least we’re looking at a re-write of “Seegersloop1’s” work to fix the possible WP:COI and WP:SOAPBOX issues and the definite WP:NPOV, WP:VERIFY, and WP:COVERT issues. MWFwiki (talk) 06:56, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
- A few minutes ago I added a COI tag at User talk:Poptopics describing longterm promotion of Richard Barone. I think I will add Seegersloop1 to the list of SPAs. Binksternet (talk) 07:08, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Relisting after a failed bundled nom of TMBG songs. This article was created in 2005 and does not hold up to contemporary notability standards, failing WP:GNG.

I'm afraid a simple talk page discussion won't do any good here. This is just a deluxe like any other special edition. It even helped the standard album back to #1. Yes, it is fairly discussed in RS because that's what happens when you tease new music. This is no different from Scarlet 2 Claude which is also fairly discussed. Trim and merge will do here. dxneo (talk) 13:59, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Albums and songs and United States of America. dxneo (talk) 13:59, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep By all accounts this passes WP:GNG; the reissue has been reviewed by Vulture, Rolling Stone, Variety, Pitchfork, etc. Apart from reviews, we have this critical commentary from Variety about its long series of delays. Elias 🦗🐜 [Chat, they chattin', they chat] 14:34, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
- Comment - I am undecided because there is indeed a precedent at Scarlet 2 Claude for merging the two versions together, but Lana is also receiving coverage as an independent new release. If this tactic (already advanced by Doja Cat and SZA) becomes a trend -- releasing an album's worth of new songs and saying it's a reissue of a previous album -- it may require a higher discussion at Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums about what constitutes a truly "new" album. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:42, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
- Coming here from the discussion at WT:WikiProject Music#Reissues, I'm not sure whether or not Scarlet 2 Claude is truly a case of applicable precedent here. I don't see any draft or AFD discussion suggesting that it was ever a standalone article, and I don't see any talk page discussion about it, making me think that the reason the reissue does not have its own article is simply because no editor has taken the time to create one, rather than it not being notable. Leafy46 (talk) 20:16, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
- Scarlet 2 Claude was just a practical example. I've seen more of these and it's honestly confusing as to whether one deserves a standalone article or not. Most are trimmed and merged into their respective originals/standard editions. dxneo (talk) 22:02, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Leafy46 (talk) 20:16, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
- In that case, Scarlet 2 Claude is a precedent for not splitting into two album articles or for not having two articles from the get-go, as is the case for SOS/Lana. Either way, SZA's previous album was two years ago and she just released 15 new songs totaling 46 minutes, so why not just say Lana is a new album of its own? I don't get it, but if this tactic becomes a trend it is still worth a higher discussion. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:10, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

- Keep: As mentioned above by several others, the reissue album meets the criteria for a standalone article. Also, if the news today that both "BMF" and "30 for 30" have been formally sent to impact different radio formats (Top 40 and Rhythmic Contemporary, respectively) as the third and fourth singles is accurate, SZA and her label are clearly promoting this body of work as its' own project.

- @NovaExplorer37 please read WP:Notability, especially the general notability guideline section of the policy. If there are no reliable secondary sources which provide significant coverage, i.e. cover the subject in detail, the subject shouldn't have an article and nothing you do will magically make the subject deserve an article. Mentions in books or Google searches aren't enough, the source needs to actually spend significant page space talking about the subject in detail. Did a major newspaper publish an article reviewing the album, for example, or talking about the production process? Or did an author of a book devote an entire chapter to talking about it? --Richard Yin (talk) 07:50, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

- Both those references are non-RS. That means they are unreliable. IMDB is unreliable per WP:IMDB. The other one is a directory listing and is junk. Similar to discogs.

- @NovaExplorer37 I asked you 4 days ago to read the general notability guideline, but it doesn't seem like you've understood it. Mentions are not enough. If there is no reliable source that provides significant coverage, then the article should be deleted. Filling the article with references to short mentions isn't going to prove that it belongs on Wikipedia. --Richard Yin (talk) 22:40, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Richard Yin thought everybody is right with "Wikipedia is a site where you can create everything" doesnt seem like it ig? as you said that i need to read the "general notability guideline" to declare this i did read it (a bit) well what can i say i tried my best finding everything about the album Biographies, News Articles etc etc! those references aren’t reliable you say but some others use them for articles too ak. Discogs, Imdb, FM etc. there are also 2 wikipedia pages about this album, (and they have mostly the same exact information) and i mean every wikipedia is the same.

- @Richard Yin thought everybody is right with "Wikipedia is a site where you can create everything" doesnt seem like it ig? as you said that i need to read the "general notability guideline" to declare this i did read it (a bit) well what can i say i tried my best finding everything about the album Biographies, News Articles etc etc! those references aren’t reliable you say but some others use them for articles too ak. Discogs, Imdb, FM etc. there are also 2 wikipedia pages about this album, (and they have mostly the same exact information) and i mean every wikipedia is the same. NovaExplorer37 (talk) 00:06, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- @NovaExplorer37 I asked you 4 days ago to read the general notability guideline, but it doesn't seem like you've understood it. Mentions are not enough. If there is no reliable source that provides significant coverage, then the article should be deleted. Filling the article with references to short mentions isn't going to prove that it belongs on Wikipedia. --Richard Yin (talk) 22:40, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

- Both those references are non-RS. That means they are unreliable. IMDB is unreliable per WP:IMDB. The other one is a directory listing and is junk. Similar to discogs. You should not be writing articles. There is clearly a WP:CIR issue here. When this is all finished, I will be taking you to have a chat with an administrator. scope_creepTalk 22:05, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

- Keep. The album and several singles were, and still are, highly popular in the former Yugoslavia. Under the legacy section, it is noted that songs from the album have been covered by other artists and achieved significant success with listeners. — Sadko (words are wind) 23:12, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- The fact they popular doesnt' give them an automatic right to Wikipedia article. Is there coverage per WP:COVERAGE per WP:THREE. The gbook passing mentions are insufficient. This is place were discuss notability. A simple keep !vote doesn't cover any longer and hasn't since 2006. If you have evidence post it up. scope_creepTalk 11:43, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Karnaval is not in and of itself more notable than any of the 29 other FiK 63 losers. Its article consists of: some basic information about the release, identical to that of other FiK entries that were commercially released; a short review section, using only one source that reviews many non-notable songs; information about Festivali i Këngës, which could equally apply to any other FiK entry; credits and personnel, track listing and release history, which are not independently notable. This *could* count as a reasonably detailed article but not more so than that of many other entries that are not given articles because it's understood that they are not notable. It hasn't been ranked on a chart, it hasn't won an award (second place is not an award, otherwise I'd like to see an article for Evita which actually won FiK), it hasn't been independently released by several notable artists, etc. Maybe deserving of an article had it won FiK and progressed to Eurovision, but it didn't.

Album didnt hit any sort of charts or top hits, all the sources at a quick glance seem to just be either reviews on websites I don't know the reliability on, or just sites listing the tracks, with user-generated reviews.

The article fails WP:NSONG with no chart information, and it fails WP:GNG with no significant descriptions of the song in the literature. The supplied citations are useless: four of the five are about other things, and the fifth is a Discogs.com link that merely proves the existence of the single. Discogs cannot be cited per WP:ALBUMAVOID, and it certainly does not establish notability. Binksternet (talk) 03:51, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
