Talk:Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit Original Soundtrack

Deletion Argument
How can anybody say that this is album has no importance this early in the in the article's life span? The album hasn't been released yet nor has it's track list been disclosed and people are already questioning it. Plus how can anybody say that any album released in Japan has no relevance on an English encyclopedia? The album is a soundtrack to the video game Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit that was released in the United States. And in every region that the game was released the same musical compositions by composer Kenji Yamamoto were used. Therefore people are going to be familiar with the music and in the likelihood provably will buy it if they can get past the $50 price tag. Also the Soundtrack is suppose to feature music from the previous game Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3. And how is links to the official website and Oricon not third party sources?

 * I can rattle off a list of literally DOZENS of Japan-only releases with perfectly valid entries on Wikipedia, including video game and anime soundtracks (but not exclusively). So THAT argument boils down to WP:IDONTLIKEIT.  WP:CRYSTAL is a more valid argument, but given that the release date is only five days from now, maybe not so much.  You can always challenge the proposed deletion - it says how to do so right in the deletion message. I'm not going to do so myself in this case, on the basis of WP:CRYSTAL, but its a thin argument at this point.  208.245.87.2 (talk) 12:26, 22 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Please read WP:V. Official sites are not third-party sources; they are primary sources. And please refrain from the WP:IDONTLIKEIT accusation. I admit I was incorrect about the "English Wikipedia" argument, but the fact remains that there lacks verifiable, third-party sources establishing notability per WP:MUSIC. However, I will wait until the album gets released and see if anyone outside looks at and reviews the album and then judge if AfD is necessary or not. Thank you.

 * And suppose that Oricon doesn't count for anything? Sarujo (talk) 21:21, 27 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Can the Oricon source be translated into English? MuZemike (talk) 02:53, 29 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I believe it can, if you know what your looking for. By the way I've found that IGN gave the game's soundtrack a 7.5 as seen here stating quote "...strong, though not great". Now you must agree that since this is a "video game" soundtrack, what a video game critic scored the music or as he refers as "whatnot" is just as important as any other review. Otherwise, that "Music of Kingdom Hearts" article has some serious explaining to do. Sarujo (talk) 05:43, 29 August 2008 (UTC)


 * No, it looks good enough in my view. Those are the sources you need. Be sure to translate that one article so we can get a better indication of notability. MuZemike (talk) 08:07, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

For right now I'm just going to bring every reflection of the soundtrack I find here before adding it the article. If that's okay? The Gamespot Burst Limit review, as seen here, states "...the upbeat soundtrack is something of an acquired taste". Sarujo (talk) 11:41, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

How about ratings from places like Amazon or iTunes? Surely they must account for something. Sarujo (talk) 22:05, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
