50,000 Fall Fans Can't Be Wrong

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This seems to exist under the rationale "this is a notable band; therefore, there should be an article on every one of their releases". Yes it has received coverage from several notable publications, but does this—a greatest-hits-album—really need its own article? I think it is very rare indeed that a greatest-hits-album should warrant its own article. Lachlan Foley 09:15, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep "Yes it has received coverage from several notable publications" - you've answered your own question right there.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 09:54, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - List of compilation albums by The Fall lists 36 albums, only three of which have articles. You've also nominated Fiend with a Violin for deletion, and I'm fine with that, as it was just the first of many useless compilations done by the Receiver label.  Leaving articles for two compilations out of 36, those being a six CD box set of Peel Sessions, and the only career-spanning compilation containing tracks across multiple record labels, hardly qualifies as "this is a notable band; therefore, there should be an article on every one of their releases".  That is a straw-man argument. -- Foetusized (talk) 12:00, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep per above two. No benefit to the project from deleting this. --Michig (talk) 19:15, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. I agree that just because this is a notable band, that does not necessarily require an article on every one of their releases. WP:NALBUMS suggests this, as well. In this case, in-depth coverage exists in at least three reliable sources (Pitchfork, Allmusic, Stylus), which appears to satisfy the guideline.  Gong   show  23:47, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per deletion nomination admission of notability. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:15, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Plenty of coverage in reliable sources to warrant inclusion. — sparklism hey! 07:52, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
