20th Century Masters – The Millennium Collection: The Best of the Mamas and the Papas

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This compilation album lacks significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources to meet notability, nor does it meet any of the criteria at WP:NALBUM. The only thing approaching coverage is the the All Music review, but that is a boiler plate review. The first half of the review is about the series of compilations and the same text appears in every review of an album in this series. I considered a redirect to The Mamas & the Papas discography, but the discography makes no mention of this album and only includes compilations that have charted.Whpq (talk) 21:02, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Can't find other RSs that have anything to say about it. There are lots of budget compilations out there, but no reviews, etc., from which to write a reasonably detailed article. —Ojorojo (talk) 17:35, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - not enough in-depth coverage to meet WP:GNG and it certainly doesn't meet WP:NALBUM. Onel 5969  TT me 00:41, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to The Mamas & the Papas discography: Barely found anything about the compilation album, not even a single review about it. Not all compilation albums baring the 20th Century Masters imprint are notable. ASTIG😎  (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 10:15, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
 * - The discography lists only the charting compilations so there is no mention of this album at the target. -- Whpq (talk) 12:05, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
 * , Anyone can add that album in the band's discgraphy page. That's no big deal at all. Therefore, a redirect is the best way to go. I have explained more than enough. And I won't reply from hereon. ASTIG😎  (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 02:59, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment - Redirecting boldly and adding the album to the discography could be done, but it is not at all clear that this should be decided here at AFD. I would have redirected myself if the discography listed this album.  As of the writing of this comment, it still doesn't so a redirect would not be useful.  As for boldly adding the album the discography, the editors of the article have made a deliberate editorial decision to list only the charting compilations, and changing such a decision should happen at the article and not at an AFD just because somebody created an article for a non-notable, non-charting compilation album.  If it is later decided to include all the compilations, a redirect can very easily be created. -- Whpq (talk) 15:31, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, no new content in this album, no reliable sources found. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 07:14, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - I respect the decision by the folks at the Mamas & Papas discography article to only list compilations that charted, because they are the type of band that suffers from management shenanigans that in turn unleash dozens of pointless and repetitive compilations. So don't redirect there. Meanwhile, the "20th Century Masters" series was itself a flood of repetitive compilations, and most came and went with little interest from the media and public. This one for Mamas & Papas got the boilerplate "review" at AllMusic, which is more a matter of completeness than reporting. Nobody else noticed either. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 20:01, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
