List of garage rock and psychedelic rock compilation albums

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A list with no references and filled with mostly redlinks, should fall under WP:NOTCATALOG and WP:NOTREPOSITORY. TheMesquito buzz  01:40, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete The amount of redlinks says it all. It wouldn't be so bad if the albums had WP articles but since they don't, that confirms to me that the albums have next to no notability to speak of. Therefore this feels like an indiscriminate list of information. Mattg82 (talk) 19:32, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Comment. An AFD needs to look at more than just the current state of an article (see WP:BEFORE, WP:ATD, and WP:NOTCLEANUP), so the presence of redlinks and no secondary source citations at present are not relevant. There are over 80 articles in Category:Garage rock compilation albums and its subcategories, and somewhere around 300 in Category:Psychedelic rock compilation albums, so there's no question of whether there are enough albums with articles to list here. And if they're notable, then there isn't any question of verifying their genre even if it's not apparent from the album itself (as it will be with most themed compilations). However, I'm not clear on why these two genres are being listed together, unless it's just because of the Nuggets series apparently doing so (though Allmusic has called that compilation series "of seismic importance"). postdlf (talk) 20:00, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - way too many redlinks, and exactly where is the link between "garage rock" and "psychedelic rock" coming in? 0 inline references, woolly inclusion criteria based on pure WP:OR, and do we even know for a fact that these compilations all actually exist? The title also implies that the compilation albums consist of "garage rock and psychedelic rock", rather than that it lists compilations of each genre on their own.
