Nominating because this was released by Legacy Records on behalf of sony music and is a collection of pre-released material. None of these albums get very much mention from independent sources because the label and artist do not recognised or endorse them.

Also nominating:

Delete — most of them do not appear to have been reviewed outside Allmusic. Even if some of them charted, we generally hold compilations to a slightly higher standard. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 23:36, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep some. This reminds me of the AfD for Super Hits in 2010, in that these albums can not all be judged equally. Precedent was set then that budget compilations are notable if they charted and have third-party reviews. For that reason, the albums by Brooks & Dunn, Dixie Chicks, Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton should be kept. In addition to charting and being reviewed by Allmusic, Playlist: Brad Paisley was reviewed by Country Weekly (and covered by Country Music Television), Playlist: Brooks & Dunn was reviewed by InMusic and certified gold in Australia and Playlist: Dixie Chicks received a lengthy review by Roughstock. In fact, the Dixie Chicks personally selected the tracks on their album. In the case of the Brad Paisley, Brooks & Dunn and Dixie Chicks albums, they complete the artist's discographies. These four articles are more substantive than a simple track list and deserve a second look as they more than satisfy WP:NALBUMS. Eric444 (talk) 12:55, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy close and renominate separately. Some of these seem to have gotten more media attention than others, so they should all be evaluated separately. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 17:55, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can an admin speedy close this and i'll nominate this seperately. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 19:42, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
