 * Delete: I can't find significant coverage for this album. Joe Chill (talk) 19:41, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete - the album is (briefly) reviewed at AllMusic which I'm pretty sure helps with notability in music-related articles. I only mention this to help others vote if they're so inclined. I can't find anything else about the album outside of retail sites, meaning it didn't make much impact with the public, not even with AllMusic given how skimpy that review is. It's surely a quickie budget compilation for casual fans. Perhaps notable because it's by Cher but probably not notable in itself. D OOMSDAYER 520  (Talk|Contribs) 01:31, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Cher is unquestionably a notable artist.  If her bio article were to have all the worthwhile and properly sourced information about her, however, it would be far too long.  Therefore, the editors of the article have properly used summary style.  The main article links to a daughter article concerning Cher albums discography, and that article links to articles about particular albums.  It's an excellent way to make available a rich level of detail about Cher (which some readers would want) without surrendering to clutter that would impair Wikipedia's value for readers who want less detail.

 * Delete. I intended to find a reason to vote keep but came to the same conclusion as Doomsdayer520. Then was going to suggest redirect to Cher albums discography, but after seeing her other compilation albums, particularly Greatest Hits: 1965–1992 which was released in the same year and was certified at least gold in at least 8 different countries, I decided that the significance of this release is non-existent.

 * Delete. The most "significant" coverage I can find is this tiny Allmusic review (edit: the same one listed above by User:Doomsdayer520). Unless more (and better) sources are presented, it appears this budget-priced compilation does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NALBUMS.  Gongshow  Talk 01:49, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
