Celtic Journey: The Ultimate Collection of Celtic Music

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Collection of Celtic folk songs by a non-notable artist (Bruce Huron). db-album was declined because it is a) "a collection of songs" and b) "has been around for oodles". Uh-huh. OK, a non-notable artist doing old folk songs on a cheapie budget label—there are "oodles" of sets like this, due to the fact that the label can find a no-name artist to perform the music for peanuts AND not have to pay publishing royalties because the songs are all traditional or public domain. In the article's defense, it HAS been here for ages but unless things have changed, that's not one of the criteria at WP:MUSIC. Oh, and other than minor tweaks, no one has added any content in the three years the article has existed—that doesn't speak highly of the likelihood of it ever becoming more than just a track listing.

 * Delete, nothing indicating WP:NALBUMS. And though not a valid criterion for establishing notability, searching for the title in quotes only gives 79 hits on Google. However, the user declining the speedy was correct - articles on albums are not speedy candidates, as explicitly pointed out in WP:CSD. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lilac Soul (talk • contribs) 12:14, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No, that only points out that CSD#A7 is not applicable to albums. WP:CSD, on the other hand, is explicitly applicable to albums by non-notable artists, as this one is. TheJazzDalek (talk) 12:23, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I just love being wrong - that's the way to learn. Thanks for pointing A9 out to me! - Lilac Soul (talk • contribs • count) 12:26, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - I dunno about the rest of the world, but certainly in the UK there are gazillions of production line Celtic/new age CDs recorded by unknown artists with generic covers and titles sold in new age/hippy-type shops, the gift shops at tourist attractions, and pound shops. I'd be surprised if any of them have ever been written about by anyone ever.  Certainly it's hard to see how an album by a redlinked artist on a redlinked label isn't a speedy but hey ho -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:30, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I declined the speedy deletion. I tend to do so if an article has been around for a long time (as was the case here), and I don't know if the artist mentioned in the A9 criterion is meant to be identical with the producer of an album. Lectonar (talk) 14:52, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I've also notified the creator of the article about this AfD. Lectonar (talk) 14:57, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * According to WP:CSD, "speedy" refers to the simple decision-making process, not the length of time since the article was created. - Lilac Soul (talk • contribs • count) 19:20, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
