Frank Sinatra: 10 CD Box Set

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This is not an album but a commercial non-notable compilation for the German market. Also the source links provided are wrong and the article consists of a mere track list. De728631 (talk) 18:03, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - but the nominator and the one other voter above have not given entirely legitimate reasons. The statment that it "is not an album" as stated by De728631 is incorrect; it is an album in the form of a compilation. And the fact that the article is currently just a track listing is usually a reason for expansion, not deletion. Also, the WP:NOTDIR rule cited by the other voter is not relevant for a listing of tracks within an album article. However, what is relevant here is that the compilation appears to be a quickie budget release by an obscure label that has not been noticed by the general media and apparently not even by Sinatra's many communities of serious fans, as can be seen in the almost total lack of coverage in reliable sources.

 * Comment In my understanding, an "album" has to involve cooperation with the artist and consists mainly of newly released tracks. There are of course posthumous releases and such but I would never regard a compilation of any sorts as an official album, unless it is some Best Of disc released during the lifetime of the artist.
