Bratz: Motion Picture Soundtrack

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unreferenced since creation in 2014. Despite the claim that the album"garnered" critical acclaim, nothing to back up this (sole) claim to notability. TheLongTone (talk) 14:29, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge into Bratz (2007 film) per WP:COMMONOUTCOMES for film soundtracks only the diehards collect and don't chart.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 21:17, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Only problem with the suggested merge is that the target is of very dubious notability. Main claim to fame appears to that it was nominated for 5 Golden Raspberry Awards in 2007... but wasn't even crap enough to win any.TheLongTone (talk) 15:21, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
 * The film itself passes - it looks like it received over 70 critic reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, which would be enough to make it pass NFILM. I've added those sources to the article. Now the film soundtrack is another deal entirely and offhand it'd likely be best served as a subsection in the main article. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  07:39, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
 * There's a Common Sense Media review for the soundtrack and a review at AllMusic, such as it is. I'm not really going to count in the AllMusic review since there's no star rating or staff name attached to it, though. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  07:43, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
 * It looks like it hit the Billboard 200 for three weeks, so together with the review this might be enough. I'll see what else I can scrape up, though. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  07:54, 18 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Merge and redirect with history. I searched and found one review and evidence of it charting, but not much else. I get the impression that there was more out there, but for whatever reason it's not on the Internet or if it is, it's hidden under a wave of similarly titled items. Searching for it by the article title isn't much help since a lot of places seem to refer to it only as "Bratz" and use the term soundtrack as a descriptive title rather than the full, formal title. It's fairly rare that something uses the full article title. In any case, while the review and the Billboard listing might be enough by itself to pass NALBUM, there's really not a lot of substance here and there's no reason why this can't be placed in the main article for the film in one of the subsections. Especially once you remove the unsourced content like the assertion that the soundtrack was used in an episode of Gossip Girls - that was fairly vague and it's not certain if one of the soundtrack exclusive songs was used or if it was a song that happened to be on the soundtrack (but was published elsewhere), something that makes a big difference. In any case, leaving it with its history intact will give people the opportunity to flesh things out if/when the other sources do surface. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  08:11, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I've merged the pertinent info and made a collapsible tracklist. I ended up removing one of the album covers since it made the page too wonky. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  08:33, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I ended up just un-collapsing it and re-added the other album cover. I also merged the game into the film article since that also had a low amount of coverage that I could find other than two game reviews. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  08:46, 18 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Redirect as obviously not convincing for its own article, best connected to the film itself obviously. SwisterTwister   talk  19:41, 22 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Merge to Bratz (2007 film). Source searches are not providing enough coverage to qualify a standalone article. North America1000 17:24, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
