25th Anniversary Collection (The Monkees album)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable album with references only from other wikis. MorbidEntree - (Talk to me! (っ◕‿◕)っ♥) (please reply using &#x7B;&#x7B;ping&#x7D;&#x7D;) 01:25, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
 * While that may be the case, I do feel that the article just needs some added references, or some more work and it will be fine. I do have my reasons for opposing the deletion of this article, but I'm finding it difficult to express them into words. I do feel that the article should be kept, and if it doesn't, there should be some way to add the existing information elsewhere. ― C.Syde  ( talk  |  contribs ) 01:29, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
 * It could probably be added to the band's article somewhere. --MorbidEntree - (Talk to me! (っ◕‿◕)っ♥) (please reply using &#x7B;&#x7B;ping&#x7D;&#x7D;) 01:40, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Or possibly by shoehorning the respective song information into the articles with the information of those songs. Unlike The Beatles where almost every song has their own page, most of the Monkees songs are covered by the albums they originated from. For example, Most of these songs don't have their own page. They simply share a page with the article page of the album they originated from. ― C.Syde  ( talk  |  contribs ) 02:29, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * The sources do not convey notability. If the album is not part of their actual catalog, it should be deleted. Otherwise, it can be added to The Monkees discography and redirected. -- Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 04:48, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
 * While I'll be honest that I remain opposed to the deletion of this article, I think that if a deletion or re-directing is really necessary, I think the latter would be a more suitable option. I mean it wouldn't be the first time an article that was not deemed worthy would be re-directed to a related article. ― C.Syde  ( talk  |  contribs ) 09:52, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Redirect to The Monkees discography - The album itself appears to have little interest by reviewers and such, probably because it just collects previously made works that already appeared in other albums. Without critical commentary on the album, as an album, it doesn't really deserve a standalone article. Fieari (talk) 04:44, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to The Monkees discography. A greatest hits album which was released during a band's active career, which often has one or two or three newly-recorded songs on it of which at least one is often released as a new single, is typically eligible for inclusion under the same standards as a conventional studio album — but the kind of "catalogue reissue because original albums are mostly out of print" compilation that is compiled as a cash-in 10 or 20 years after the band broke up, and which accordingly features no new or previously unreleased music, is rarely notable enough in its own right to warrant its own standalone article. And the sourcing here, which fails WP:USERG pretty much right across the board, is not remotely solid enough to make this one an exception to that rule — lesser known alternate mixes of already-released songs are not enough, in and of themselves, to claim that the album actually has "new" music on it.
