Now That's What I Call Music 39 (N.Z. series)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

New Zealand series of Now That's What I Call Music 39. Not notable and doesn't meet the GNG and the Music notability guidelines. Only information on the article is a list of 18 songs. Hahc21 ^{[TALK][CONTRIBS]} 04:15, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. If the previous 38 volumes of this series were notable enough for articles, I'm guessing this one probably should be also. The article needs to be improved but that should be a matter for normal editing rather than requiring deletion. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:33, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Now That's What I Call Music! discography until/unless album can pass notability requirements. Notability isn't established by having an article on wikipedia and many of the other albums can simply be redirected as well unless some sources can be provided that do establish their independent notability. Right now, most are not much more than track listings. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 08:09, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep All the songs are notable Syxxpackid420 (talk) 09:49, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Notability is not inherited. Even if the songs featured are all by itself notable doesn't mean the album is necessarily notable. -- KTC (talk) 14:16, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I agree with KTC. Also, the notability of an album depends on how much it is covered by media, charts, etc; not by the songs it contains. An article about a compilation album with no cover art, no release date, no label, without chart positions os significant media importance whatsoever is completely irrelevant and fails the notability guideline. --Hahc21 ^{[TALK][CONTRIBS]} 15:18, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Redirect - Notability is not inherited from the brand name or the songs/artists featured. There is no evidence whatsoever that this album in and of itself possesses any notability. The fact that its existence and content can be verified is no indicator of notability. The existance of a whole slew of shitty articles listed on Now That's What I Call Music! discography is not a cause for this to remain. Nothing against the creator, who I'm sure only acted in good faith.
I've just read that discography and I am kinda pissed-off that there are a couple HUNDRED of these things which consist entirely of track listings and the odd token line about chart success or the popularity of an individual song on it with ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that ranks higher than the most mind-numbingly trivial media mentions. None of those articles will EVER meet WP:GNG because they're just commercial compilations which are advertised, released and then forgotten about a few months later when they create the NEXT in the series. Hell, take a look at Now That's What I Call Music! (or try Googling reliable sources) and see how sparse the reliable coverage is! AND THAT'S THE PARENT ARTICLE!! Phew, I need a cigarette.

Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. As bad as the previous 38 articles are, they are about things that actually exist. This one isn't.—Kww(talk) 13:34, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Amplifying: I've blocked the author indefinitely for vandalism. So far as I can tell, this article meets speedy WP:CSD#G3 as a pure vandalism article. I can find no sources at all for this, and I'm willing to bet that the Nonnie Black feat. K-Pal - Sittin On Tha Toilet track is pure vandalism with this article simply being used to showcase it.—Kww(talk) 14:59, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree. A 39th volume will surely be released at some point, but what's here ain't it. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 17:13, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
