WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of information. Normally, I'm more an inclusionist than a deletionist, but this is an indiscriminate list which is potentially endless. There is nothing that connects these albums other than their naming, which an exceedingly common way of naming albums. I could have speedied this, as it has beed deleted in the past, but that was eight years ago, so i though it worth bringing here in case anyone here can see any merit in this that (a) I can't and (b) the previous page didn't have.

 * Comment Is there a matching category? Something this big and vague might be better handled that way. Even though there's no bar on having both category and list, some things are better handled one way or the other. Colapeninsula (talk) 13:47, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
 * We wouldn't have a category based on nothing more than coincidence of naming. See WP:SHAREDNAME. And we're even less tolerant of vagueness in categories than in lists. postdlf (talk) 13:59, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. No informational value to having these listed together based on nothing but a very common album naming practice. No substantive relationship, and the album name doesn't tell you anything else about the album, such as whether it's a debut, etc. postdlf (talk) 13:59, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Agree with nominator. Completely indiscriminate. Agree with postdlf about not categorizing these as well. -- Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 14:01, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete It was indiscriminate then and it's indiscriminate now. Being eponymous doesn't tell us anything about an album aside from the title. Reach Out to the Truth 14:22, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
