Dave Dobbyn Collection

 * – ( View AfD View log )

All I could find on this album in gnews and gbooks was one passing mention, and Allmusic doesn't seem to know it. Zero refs. Tagged for notability and refs for over 2 years. Epeefleche (talk) 20:50, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
 * keep; found several newspaper articles noting and verifying the chart position and awards. Ironholds (talk) 21:04, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Happy to withdraw if you can point me to the RSs. I just now double-checked gnews/gbooks/gscholar, and saw only one passing reference.--Epeefleche (talk) 21:06, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I included said RSs in the article. I'm not some fly-by-night !voter - I try to fix the article up first, and argue it should be kept second :). Ironholds (talk) 21:11, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm confused. Dobbyn had 2 collections that I've seen reference to.  One -- the subject of this article -- was entitled  He also had a second collection, as I understood it, entitled "Overnight Success".  The Allmusic EL in the article bears (in the article) the name of one, but points to the other.  And, I can't see the offline sources that you've mentioned.  I'm happy to withdraw if we can clear this up, and perhaps it is all in the offline sources, but am a bit confused.--Epeefleche (talk) 21:24, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
 * The sources I have give it as Overnight Success: The Definitive Dave Dobbyn Collection 1979 – 1999 as the full title. I'm thinking that the confusion comes from the fact that we have one album with two potential shortened titles. Ironholds (talk) 21:39, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm happy to withdraw, based on what you can see in the offline sources (which I can't see). It might make sense to bring some harmony to the references to the article -- since they are a bit all over the place ... if the title of the album is as given, the title of the article should be changed IMHO (to either "Overnight Success (album)" or, less likely, to "Overnight Success (The Definitive Dave Dobbyn Collection 1979 – 1999)".  Best.--Epeefleche (talk) 21:52, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed; happy to move it :). I'll wait until after this is closed, though, just to avoid mucking with links and the like. Ironholds (talk) 21:56, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
