Unsourced articles about greatest hit albums. To be fair, these were created at a different time in Wikipedia history -- back in the naughts, the practice was more oriented toward Wikipedia providing a completist directory of all albums by notable artists regardless of sourcing or the lack thereof. But that's long since been deprecated, and an album now has to have its own standalone notability claim, and WP:GNG-worthy sourcing about it, to pass WP:NALBUM as a suitable topic for a standalone article separately from the artist's BLP.
But as repacks of previously available material, greatest hits compilations rarely have the kind of analytical coverage that's required, and these certainly aren't exceptions: I was able to find a couple of short blurbs about Intermission, but not enough to really reach the GNG bar, while Collections basically has nothing at all.
Her studio albums also have sourcing issues, but are salvageable with better referencing, but best-of comps generally don't really need their own standalone articles anymore. Bearcat (talk) 14:00, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect both to the artist's page per above. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 19:42, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Fails GNG and NALBUM. No objection to redirect, but I think its an unlikely search term. // Timothy :: talk 01:24, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
