Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Albums and songs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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:
  1. Edit this page 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.
  2. 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.

Could only find a review from Gigwise (dead link via Album of the Year, found no archive for it). Would've fully expected to find more coverage for this, but came up short. Putting this to AfD in hopes that someone else has better luck. If not, redirect to Gym Class Heroes; the album is mentioned numerous times throughout the page.

Fails WP:NALBUM. The album has no significant coverage, award wins/nominations, music chart history. The same goes for the songs on the album. The page's references rely on music store links (Bandcamp, iTunes, BigCartel). Other "sources" include expired links and YouTube links. There are no further sources that can be gathered to support any album sale claims, recording dates, etc. Sackkid (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 02:29, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note I think it is worth nominating the artist page for deletion too. While she has an Emmy nomination, it doesn't strengthen the article and frankly she doesn't much media coverage outside of blogs. There is a Billboard charting song but again, the page is a weak keep at best. So I am open to nominating that page for deletion as well. Sackkid (talk) 03:43, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

After careful analyzing the article and cross its references and search more online, I believe this song doesn't meet the criteria for its own article.

The song is a GA article, however GA criteria has changed since the song was approved. Moreover, a song being a GA articles doesn't grant it notability.

Despite charting, these are lower regions of said charts and charts alone don't guaranty a article about said song should exist. The song was only part of a limited edition of the album. Most of the references are about the album, not the song itself and there are also brief mentions of the song when reviewing concerts because it was part of the setlist.

Ed Sheeran is an interested third party since he wrote the song and most of these are just interviews he gave speaking about the song. Henceforth, self-promotion and product placement are not the routes to having an encyclopedia article. The published works must be someone else writing about the song/single.

The barometer of notability is whether people independent of the subject itself (or of its artist, record label, producers and songwriters) have actually considered the song/single notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial works that focus solely upon it. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 09:21, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The nominator of this discussion was the nominator for the 1st AfD back in 2021. WP:NSONGS is going to be argued here again, which hasn't changed since the 1st AfD. The charting isn't the main criterion to keep the article, but there seems to be sufficient sourcing present. There's a long history of songs that were originally from one artist and then offered/given to another artist. That does not make the artist an "interested third party." I think you mean if the information is coming off as a press release with multiple sources. The sourcing should be limited to a primary source, marking it as a press release via {{cite press release}}. – The Grid (talk) 14:16, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It makes when one of the songwriters, in this case, Ed Sheeran, gives interviews talking about the song. Moreover, said information can be included on the article. Moreover, it is already included there. He has written several songs for other artists not all of those have articles. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 08:05, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NSONG, lacks significant coverage (not mentions in passing) in multiple independent secondary sources. The band's website is a primary source , whilst Spotify and Discogs are not reliable sources. Dan arndt (talk) 09:04, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NALBUM. The sources/references provided are either about the band, not the EP (series of mentions in passing) or are unreliable (Spotify) or are primary sources (SonicBids, band's website, The Bash, ReverbNation) which are not independent of the band.

No sources that I could find to confirm the article meeting WP:NALBUM. Most coverage of albums called "Zero Hour" is in reference to other albums with the same title. -Samoht27 (talk) 06:13, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

comment I did find this in depth review [2] but not much else and the article is pretty devoid of information. --hroest 17:21, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The article is newly created. SRamzy (talk) 23:15, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I created the article because the album forms part of a notable artistic shift for Natasha St-Pier. The artist is one of the best known contemporary female French pop artists, known for her appearance in Eurovision Song Contest 2001, and for a string of hit albums of a strictly secular nature. Her shift to a Catholic devotional theme created considerable comment, as is reflected in the biography on the RFI website: note that this significant coverage in a reliable, independent source. SRamzy (talk) 10:35, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@User:SRamzy if this was so significant in her musical biography, there should be a couple of article that discuss this that appear in WP:RS. Could you provide any such discussions of this album in particular and add them to the article? --hroest 19:19, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
