Aceto (album)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Per WP:NALBUMS, "All articles on albums, singles or other recordings must meet the basic criteria at the notability guidelines, with significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." This is not the case with this article. Not notable. I performed a Google search, and the only article I found about the album is this one, which happens to talk about the album in the future tense, and it seems like a weak source to me anyway, with fewer than 9,000 "likes" on its corresponding Facebook page, which is here. Perhaps more material can be found, but I don't believe this article can survive as a standalone article. I recommend adding most of the content to the musician's article (Michéal Castaldo) in the discography section as a collapsable table. Notice that the article has zero secondary sources even though a notability template was added more than three years ago. A more recent template requesting citations for verification has been ignored. The article seems to serve merely promotional purposes. P.S. Other albums released by this musician are in the exact same situation. Dontreader (talk) 01:36, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Withdrawn by nominator. If practically no one else cares that this article is blatantly promotional and is clearly not notable, then neither do I. It's been here two weeks. So, let the article live, let it prosper, let it have children. May God bless it. I will never nominate an article for deletion again. Please close this "discussion". Thank you.

 * Comment. I did find an interview on an online radio program; YTP Radio and CelebrityCafe. Unsure of the reliability of either though Celebrity Cafe 65,000 likes on their facebook page. JTdale   Talk 02:36, 4 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment. Thanks, . I happen to be somewhat familiar with the first source you mentioned. That radio show is (or was) hosted on BlogTalkRadio, which is an online non-professional system. I've seen shows there with no listeners at all, and typically they have under 50 listeners (when a chat room is available you see how many people are tuned in). Notice that the information provided on that page about Castaldo was copied and pasted from his Wikipedia page. So that source cannot count. I'm not sure about the other source you brought up, but even supposing it's reliable (although I have no clue how professional their staff is), I don't think The Celebrity Cafe and The Hamptons amount to "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Thanks again. Dontreader (talk) 07:40, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Redirect to the singer's article. NN. --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 01:22, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Struck !vote above of blocked sock puppet, per WP:SOCKHELP. NorthAmerica1000 12:09, 15 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment. That sounds like a great idea to me, Why should I have a User Name?. After all, the only sources provided are 1. To his own website. 2. To Amazon where you can buy the album. 3. To the video on his YouTube channel. So, to me it seems blatantly promotional (the image too). I have not found substantial independent coverage of the album.
 * My only concern is that it's a pain in the a$$ to write track listings, so how about transferring that content to the discography section of Castaldo's article before the redirect page is created? I could do that, as well as with his other album articles. Dontreader (talk) 06:12, 9 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Redirect to the artist. Album lacks coverage about it. No independent notability shown. Even the artist page is questionable. (disclosure, I was informed about this afd). duffbeerforme (talk) 12:27, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Micheal Castaldo's article. Being the nominator, I hope I'm allowed to vote this way to reach consensus. I saved the Aceto album article information here since I believe at least the track listing can be included in the artist's article, preferably as a collapsable table, and collapsed as the default mode.
