Acoustic (Coldplay EP)
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

I would like to nominate this article for deletion because as with most Coldplay EPs, Acoustic is not a very notable release: Its details can be boiled down to a text on their discography page, it has not appeared on any country's national music chart, it has not been certified gold or higher in at least one country and it has not won or been nominated for a major music award.

 * Comment - I really don't think these all should have been bundled like this. Outside of all being Coldplay releases, they're all pretty unconnected to one another, and a brief skim of them made it look like they all had varying sourcing situations that probably should have separate discussions.

 * These were all promotional/limited releases to further market their respective album eras and I personally think they don't warrant a separated page. I know I should not be anecdotal, but if you ask the average Coldplay fan (me included), they will say only Prospekt's March (which charted in numerous countries) and Kaleidoscope (which is Grammy-nominated) are notable. Some might mention Safety and The Blue Room due to their historical nature as pre-Parachutes content as well. But the rest can easily be described in the discography page like I mentioned or merged into album and tour pages. GustavoCza (talk • contribs) 18:35, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
 * And you could very well be right on the point of notability. Maybe they're not notable. It just feels like it should like it should be five different discussions to get there. If people start doing their due diligence and reviewing the sources present, and there's any back and forth, it's going to get messy fast. Alternatively, on the front end, it seems to be scaring away participants as well.  Sergecross73   msg me  14:45, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Very well then, I'll be removing the other EPs and nominating them separately. This will be the Acoustic nomination. GustavoCza (talk • contribs) 11:07, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep - I don't like Coldplay but hey come on... it is Coldplay! Mathmo Talk 15:11, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
 * As a huge fan of Coldplay myself, I can assure you the only people who would ever care about this EP are completist collectors. It fails WP:NALBUM big time. GustavoCza (talk • contribs) 16:14, 13 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Comment I'm no Coldplay fan myself, but the best I could find is this. I guess it doesn't help with having a title that brings back tons of false-positive results when searching! Probably best to redirect to Coldplay discography per WP:ATD.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 16:51, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah all the false positives does make it tricky Mathmo Talk 18:14, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect and merge to Coldplay discography. I tried and tried to find something, anything, written about this EP, but there's quite literally nothing. The only useful information is the tracklist and that's already on plenty of music websites and Coldplay fansites. Wes sideman (talk) 10:54, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
