Was originally nominated as part of a bundle nomination of equally non-significantly-covered animated soundtrack albums, but commenters ignorant about the coverage of the topics tried to convince me they were somehow individually notable. The commenters used lousy reasoning, or WP:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions, in trying to suggest certain topics in that nomination had individual notability. One suggested a couple of albums were by notable artists, which didn't make them notable as Notability is not inherited. Another agued "some of these articles are getting 100+ views/day", which is an invalid WP:POPULARPAGE argument. Another agued "Deleting the articles in question would delete the not insignificant article histories and revisions that could serve as rough drafts for future versions of these pages if they hold up to notability standards at a later date", which is invalid as most of these soundtracks never do and even so, we are not a WP:CRYSTALBALL.

For this nomination, only thing to find is AllMusic rev and one chart. That's not enough to establish WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. 👨x🐱 (talk) 14:35, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep and improve. This is an unusual case, since the animated series Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi is basically an adaptation of the real-life band Puffy AmiYumi, and this album is basically a band album disguised as a soundtrack album. Puffy AmiYumi was fairly big in Japan, and one of the few Japanese pop groups to become known in other parts of the world, and any album they produce will have sources if properly searched. This may require searching Japanese media, but this is not going to end up being non-notable. BD2412 T 17:09, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'll give the benefit of the doubt and suggest this is the result of the difficulty of finding Japanese sources if you're in the Western world, especially if your in North America. I live in the United States, so I can state that. But we need evidence in this discussion to indicate this is notable beyond an Allmusic rev and one Japan chart. 👨x🐱 (talk) 17:24, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • @GimmeChoco44 and Snkcube: I am pinging User:GimmeChoco44 and User:Snkcube, historically two of the more substantial contributors to the main Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi article who have been active relatively recently on Wikipedia. Hopefully one or both of them can provide some insight into possible Japanese-language sources for this subject. BD2412 T 03:56, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • I can't find any readily available coverage of the album that would merit a change in the current discussion. --GimmeChoco44 (talk) 09:15, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - There are some issues with the copy/pasted reasoning in the rush of 21 different AfDs for cartoon soundtracks by this nominator. In short, blanket reasoning for an attempted bundled AfD has been applied to every individual album therein. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Pebble and the Penguin (soundtrack) for more details. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:06, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - It made the Japanese charts and has at least one in-depth and reliable review in English. The album article can be improved by Japanese sources if any can be found by native speakers of that language. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:29, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I think with some improvements it would be in tip top shape to keep though I also like the idea of having Japanese sources from those who speak it could help in the improving of this article. Pahiy (talk) 21:26, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep WP:BASIC is met. Needs some improvements though to be in tip top shape. Riteboke (talk) 07:19, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
