American Pop (soundtrack)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Was originally nominated as part of a bundle nomination of equally non-significantly-covered animated soundtrack albums, but commenters ignorant about the coverage of the topics tried to convince me they were somehow individually notable. The commenters used lousy reasoning, or WP:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions, in trying to suggest certain topics in that nomination had individual notability. One suggested a couple of albums were by notable artists, which didn't make them notable as Notability is not inherited. Another agued "some of these articles are getting 100+ views/day", which is an invalid WP:POPULARPAGE argument. Another agued "Deleting the articles in question would delete the not insignificant article histories and revisions that could serve as rough drafts for future versions of these pages if they hold up to notability standards at a later date", which is invalid as most of these soundtracks never do and even so, we are not a WP:CRYSTALBALL.

For this, I couldn't find anything about this LP release. The two cites talk about the film itself, not the soundtrack release, and only other cite is a Discogs link. GBook searches only mention the phrase as part of the genre of American pop, not to discuss the movie. Only thing about the soundtrack to find in GBooks are passing mentions. 👨x🐱 (talk) 14:15, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment - There are some issues with the copy/pasted reasoning in the rush of 21 different AfDs for cartoon soundtracks by this nominator. In short, blanket reasoning for an attempted bundled AfD has been applied to every individual album therein. See Articles for deletion/The Pebble and the Penguin (soundtrack) for more details. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 15:05, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to American Pop, where there is some more information, with basic references, on how the filmmaker faced some issues with the use of popular songs in the movie. A brief section over there is sufficient. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 15:23, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
