List of albums (A)

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

This list is grossly unhelpful as there are millions of albums and only a handful have been excluded in this list. This list does little more than a category does and is more incomplete. WP:SALAT says: "Lists that are too general or too broad in scope have little value, unless they are split into categories. For example a list of brand names would be far too long to be of value." The "List of albums" list is extremely too broad and too incomplete. However, I did not nominate List of albums for deletion because I feel that this can be used as a disambiguation to redirect people to the specific lists such as List of rock and roll albums, ect.

 * Note: I nominated the whole A-Z list, but I didn't feel like listing it all on here as it would take me ~15 minutes. If you want to see the full list, click on the (A) article and use the template. Tavix (talk) 18:33, 25 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete the A-Z list There are millions of albums that aren't on this list, it would never be complete and if it were, it would be browser-crashingly long. Category:Albums is a much better navigational hub. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 16:31, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete infinite and pointless list. JuJube (talk) 20:03, 25 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Scratch the needle over the vinyl when deleting. There is NO criteria, except "album".  What if only released on iTunes?  in 1912?  What if I pressed 100 copies of my own from my band, thats an album too, right?  Even if it was limited to albums with articles on Wikipedia (which is what catagories are for...), redlink garbage would show up in no time.  Too indiscrimanate.  Delete every letter of the alphabet and numbers too for this one.  This is just a bad idea on so many levels.  P HARMBOY  ( TALK ) 20:21, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: Too general and not able to be completed to any reasonable degree, and thus not useful. A-Z have gotta go. - Liontamer (talk) 15:48, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
