A Wizard, a True Star
Doesn't qualify as a stand-alone article. All these individual album entries should be deleted and merged into Todd Rundgren if anything useful can be carried over other than what's already in the article. These are simply a bunch of stubs with the occassional track list tossed in. For the most part, I don't see how they add anything which isn't on the Rundgren page already. -- Dpark 21:28, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Comment: The following are all similar Todd Rundgren album pages. They were all (?) created a while back, and I left them alone to see if they would somehow flesh out.  They have not.  I feel they should all be merged/deleted.  I simply picked a single one for the VFD since it seemed ridiculous to list them all. -- Dpark 21:28, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Runt (album)
 * Runt: The Ballad of Todd Rundgren
 * A Wizard, a True Star - This is the one I've listed for deletion
 * Todd (album)
 * Initiation (album)
 * Faithful (album)
 * Hermit of Mink Hollow
 * Healing (album)
 * The Ever Popular Tortured Artist Effect
 * A Cappella (album)
 * The Individualist
 * One Long Year
 * Liars (album)
 * Additionally, this one is also a Todd Rundgren album page, but has some content. I'm just listing it here.  I feel it could still be merged, but perhaps a redirect, rather than a delete, would be appropriate.
 * Something/Anything? - This one actually has some content, and perhaps should remain separate.
 * Finally, there's also one redirect.
 * A Wizard, A True Star
 * Delete the lot. I'm a big Todd Rundgren fan, but these articles are really pointless. With a track list, I'd say keep, but as is, I cannot see their value. Denni &#9775; 00:54, 2005 Jun 25 (UTC)
 * Delete all, unencyclopedic unformatted pages devoid of content. JamesBurns 03:46, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep all. -Sean Curtin 04:51, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep all with album infoboxes. What it looks like is that someone has filled in the album frame template for each Rundgren album, and not done more with them.  They are substubs, but the info already there will be useful for a better article.  Smerdis of Tlön 15:16, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment - Someone's taken the initiative to fill in some info on a few of them. Excellent.  If they continue to flesh out, then great, otherwise, I stand by my delete-and-merge stance, at least for the ones which still don't contain anything but the infobox. -- Dpark 20:56, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete all, pointless articles. Megan1967 04:03, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Wikipedia's music coverage is growing vibrantly and will continue to do so, if articles like this are kept.   Un focused 29 June 2005 00:31 (UTC)
 * Keep. We have articles on individual albums and even on individual songs for artists far less notable than Todd Rundgren.  Kaibabsquirrel 29 June 2005 03:14 (UTC)
 * Strong keep for all. Album boxes are, by design, useful stubs and page-per-album for notable artists is a well established convention.  Jgm 29 June 2005 05:14 (UTC)
