List of controversial album covers

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Tagged as missing sources for a long time, this page's title is a problem unto itself. I don't think a neutral formulation of "controversial" is possible, nor do I think this list of otherwise unrelated content really adds any information. Verges on an "indiscriminate collection of information." (ESkog)(Talk) 16:18, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Very Weak keep Well it makes a okay article although it would be a much better category. But with out sources I just don't think I can give it full support. (It would need a pretty massive amount of sources)-- St.daniel Talk 17:15, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete per nom. I, too, have my doubts about being able to conform to a WP:NPOV with the word "controversial", except maybe if enough reliable sources refer to something as being controversial. However, as it stands, there are no sources on this article. Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 17:26, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Interesting idea, there have been many, but it would need a lot of work.--Gloriamarie 17:30, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Really Weak Keep could be a good article if separated into sections (i.e. religion, nudity etc) and actually expanded on why some of the covers were controversial. As it is, it's pointless.  Give it time to expand, and if it comes back to AfD in a few months time in the same state, then get rid of it.  Eliminator JR  Talk  17:43, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete in the absence of any possible objective definition of "controversial," the lack of sourcing and the whiff of original research. Otto4711 18:13, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Exactly my thoughts.--Whstchy 18:15, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I've copied the text into my userspace and I'll have a go at making an article of it. Looking at the individual records, there doesn't seem to be a huge amount of WP:OR and I think it could make an interesting and encyclopedic article - but not as a pure list.  Eliminator JR  Talk  18:35, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete The titled article would fail as WP:OR. The perceived intended article which is List of banned/censored album covers is something that could be passed if sourced. If sourced should be renamed and kept. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 20:30, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Yep. some of the "controversies" are real storm in a teacup stuff, and I'll remove them.  Eliminator JR  Talk  09:16, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - this can never be objectively defined Kernel Saunters 22:53, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails to provide a definition of controversial in context. No references are provided, and the subject matter of the list itself is too general anyway. CloudNine 11:31, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
