Best of Wildside
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not-notable album, no sourcing found Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 03:41, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep: Per sources, meets notability criterion WP:NMUSIC#2, does not meet #3, and may meet #2 since the NZHerald review wasn't listed at the National Library, suggesting that there may be have been more reviews in print sources of the era, particularly NZ music magazines (of the two reviews listed at the NL, Rip It Up might not be sufficiently independent). Likely to appear in The Complete New Zealand Music Charts: 1966–2006. Downsides of merge/redirect Wildside appear greater than keeping separate, but that's the other option since NMUSIC#2 means at least marginal notability. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 04:49, 26 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep per WP:NEXIST. Not having any sources is not a valid reasoning for AfDing an article. That was the rationale behind a lot of the speedily kept AfD articles the Coin945 nominated. Boomer VialHolla! We gonna ball! 12:48, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. This was a simple compilation album that did not receive any international coverage and by a majority of groups who also did not receive any international coverage. A review in the NZ Herald hardly counts for notability. Ajf773 (talk) 09:58, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep per Hydronium_Hydroxide. Meets WP:NALBUM#2 (appeared on a national chart). — Gpc62 (talk) 02:54, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
 * It appeared on the compilation album chart, not the album chart. Ajf773 (talk) 06:03, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Merge to Wildside Records. The chart position and the NZ Herald review show real world notability, but as a label compilation, discussing within the article on the label seems the best approach unless there's a significant amount to say about it (which there isn't). --Michig (talk) 08:36, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
