Artist Karaoke Series: Miley Cyrus
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This is a karaoke version (no vocals) of a previously released album. Arguably, such albums are not notable for Wikipedia purposes. I'm putting this article up for AfD to get some discussion of whether karaoke versions are notable enough for individual articles. I'd previously raised this issue on the talk page of WP:BAND, and the consensus there seem to be that they're not notable. --John Nagle (talk) 17:58, 30 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete WP:MUSIC isn't crystal clear on this, but seems to me the performer's non-involvement kills inherited notability, and good luck finding independent coverage on the album to otherwise work around policy. I want to say salt it too, but what if it makes a legitimate non-Disney chart?  Has it already? Townlake (talk) 18:37, 30 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete, G4 if applicable. At best merge with prior vocal album. --Dhartung | Talk 19:21, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, it already was deleted by that and restored. The previous AfD was a lot about WP:CRYSTAL issues which are no longer relevant.  --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 05:12, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah. Thanks for the clarification. Still delete, then, as a non-notable variation of an existing album. --Dhartung | Talk 08:12, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete, we don't need this stub; it nearly meets CSD A1. GO-PCHS-NJROTC  (Messages) 00:41, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * No, it doesn't. Not at all.  A1 is for articles with content like "has red hair" and such, where it's not clear what the article is about.  This is pretty clearly about a karaoke album.  --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 05:12, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * That's exactly why I said nearly; in other words, it doesn't have much valuable content. If it met A1 perfectly, I wouldn't have said nearly, and I would have voted Speedy Delete. If you want to expand it to make it clearly show notability, feel free to do so and I'll say Keep, but I'm not seeing any notability here at this time.

 * Delete for the same reason as my reasoning in the first nom, that it isn't a work of the artist themselves and is a non-vocal album.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 02:58, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete unsourced article on crappy albumMyheartinchile (talk) 23:31, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Please not we aren't questioning the quality of the album, just the notability.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 23:32, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
