 * Comment: There are six of these (vol 1-6) at AfD. Can they all be combined into one article?--Milowent • talkblp-r  00:46, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - l'm not sure about notability rules for comps. Basically, the Hopelessly Devoted series were low-cost label samplers, produced annually by Hopeless Records, with some percentage of proceeds donated to charity, as I recall. Similar to the Punk-O-Rama series that was done by Epitaph Records — directly inspired by that series, actually. I see that Punk-O-Rama is all done on a single page and I suggest that might be a good compromise to the current 7 page approach... Carrite (talk) 02:21, 4 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete, all in the series. Not notable. Regardless of whether they're compilations or not, pages for albums which serve to only provide tracklistings are not notable per WP:NALBUMS --Lil-unique1 (talk) 03:02, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete all - Not notable as the above. Shadowjams (talk) 08:55, 4 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Merge - I think the Hopeless/Sub-City sampler series is notable, either as a section of the Hopeless Records page or as a combined single page — but not as individual albums. Here's an article from Business Week on label dude Louis Posen, which mentions sales figures for No. 2 of the series and details the importance of the series as a charity fundraising mechanism. This should include the current Take Action comps as well. I concur that the individual albums are not really notable per se, each with their own page. Carrite (talk) 14:12, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
