107.1 KGSR Radio Austin - Broadcasts Vol.10

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable album. Only sources are primary or say nothing about the album, and only other sources found were directly related to Rufus Wainright. Seems to fail notability guidelines for albums given the utter lack of sources. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 15:59, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

 * First of all, I want to say I take no offense to the deletion request, and I thank you for bringing this to my attention. Of course, I want wiki articles to have enough important and relevant information to be included. I am not certain I understand what "non-notable album" means--this is a compilation album featuring a variety of musicains, some of which are very notable, in an attempt to raise money for the radio station. How is this different from other charity albums raising money for organizations? Also, I have made sure this album appears in many of the listed artists' Discographies. I am more than willing to update the article, but I am not sure what additional information is needed. The Rufus Wainwright reference was simply a back-up to support information found on the KGSR site. Certainly, I can understand this article needing a "stub" assignment, though I am still not understaning why the article would be deleted when clearly the album does in fact exist. What can I do to improve the article? Whataworld06 (talk) 16:31, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * FYI - Since the deletion request, I have added a reference showing this album is part of an ongoing compilation series (KGSR link), and found a Waterloo Records source citing this as the most-purchased album at their store in 2002. Currently, I am looking for a third-party review of the album. I see reviews for other KGSR Broadcasts compilation, even on allmusic.com, and I will post any reviews I find as soon as possible. Thanks! Whataworld06 (talk) 17:33, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Update: I found a thid-party review of the album, published on November 29, 2002 by The Austin Chronicle at austinchronicle.com. From what I understand, the edits made since the deletion request should allow the article to remain. If this is not the case, please let me know what additional information needs to be added so that I can help in any other way possible. Thanks again! Whataworld06 (talk) 18:05, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, that looks a little better now. There doesn't seem to be much more out there than what is already said, so I'll just leave this open to gather consensus.  Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 18:16, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks for the feedback! I find it humorous that an album sitting right here next to me is considered "non-notable" regardless of the popularity of the musicians it features and the success of the compilation (even if just locally). My primary goal in creating this article was simply to expand the discographies of the musicians featured on the album. I understood wikipedia to be a place to produce as much verifiable information as possible. Does this article really do any harm to the wikipedia community? Certainly the compilation contains notable musicians, and since this article is linked on their discographies, it makes sense to leave information about the album itself on the site. Again, I take no offense--I guess I just didn't understand the guidelines and strictness of wikipedia's standards when it comes to album articles. Whataworld06 (talk) 03:47, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep As notable and nowhere to merge to except possibly the radio station. But article is fairly encyclopedic and fairly notable. ChildofMidnight (talk) 18:33, 18 November 2008
 * weak Delete compilations of radio broadcasts from a single station, will almost never be notable, and need the very strongest sources for the rare occasion when one of them actually will be. I gather however that these are live broadcasts, from an extremely well-known station, so I suppose it's possible. I'd like some citations to that effect, other than its a best-seller.

 * Delete as a non-notable album and per above Tavix (talk) 02:29, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
