List of The Source-rated albums

 * - (View AfD) (View log)

Delete, Wikipedia is not a list repository or an indiscriminate collection of information. These just list how a particular magazine has rated albums, a potentially never-ending project of little to no actual informative value as this expands to other publications and media outlets. The proper place for this is of course in sections on critical response in individual album articles; I don't see the point in trying to collect in one place all albums for which All Music Guide gave four stars or all films for which Roger Ebert gave thumbs up. See also recent, similar AFD at Articles for deletion/XXL Magazine's XXL Albums. BTW, the Five Mic Albums list at least has some content beyond just a list of the albums, but this section on criticism of the magazine's ratings could be easily merged into the article on the magazine (if it can be sourced, which it isn't at present).

 * Please explain why it is encyclopedic. That it may be of value, to someone, somewhere, for something, is not sufficient for inclusion.  Read WP:NOT.  BTW, if you would like to challenge a prior, closed deletion, see Deletion review.  Postdlf 23:56, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. We already have The Source Magazine's 100 Best Rap Albums, and I think that's sufficient coverage on one magazine's ratings.--Kubigula (talk) 23:09, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
