List of albums by namesake

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Seems like a trivial mishmash of a common trait of album topics based only on the title of the albums. This list could become rather endless and doesn't serve a real function. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 10:23, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Unencyclopedic trivia. For precedent: Articles for deletion/List of songs with the same name as song artists, Articles for deletion/List of albums with names identical to songs done by the performer, Articles for deletion/List of films which share their name with a title of a song, CfD Category:Albums named for colours, CfD Category:Songs named after other artists. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:12, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Also, the topic isn't notable - imagine an article Albums by namesake, which would start something like "Many albums are named after things...". Album naming might be a notable concept, but this isn't --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:14, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete, fails WP:LISTPURP, as it's based on trivial coincidence (and at a very broad level, not too far down from "albums named after plural nouns"); it is not informative and not a standard, obvious, or useful way to index albums. postdlf (talk) 18:13, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
