Live from Live Earth

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

Non-notable digital-only EP distributed through iTunes Store, which don't meets the notability guideline for albums. I not found any reviews to prove its relevance.  C  anniba loki  03:50, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep "In general, if the musician or ensemble that recorded an album is considered notable, then officially released albums may have sufficient notability to have individual articles on Wikipedia." - from WP:NALBUMS. Drawn Some (talk) 04:25, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Drawn Some apparently missed the "may" part of that quote. There are no sources for this album, and iTunes-exclusives are almost never notable as they rarely get reviews. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Many otters • One hammer • HELP) 04:31, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * It is repeatedly mentioned as part of a digital boxed set. If final decision is to delete, I suggest you protect the page from re-creation or you know what will happen again and again and again.  Drawn Some (talk) 04:52, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete, fails notability per WP:MUSIC. Searching finds no significant coverage in reliable, third-party, sources I concur with The Hammer.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 12:27, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, any album by a band as significant as Metallica is notable - just as anything by the Beatles or U2 is made notable by the band's significance. I realize this does not fall under the notability rule, but  I think the "common sense and the occasional exception" rule is appropriate here.Greedyhalibut (talk) 22:27, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Notability is not inherited.--  C  anniba loki  01:11, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes - Notability is not inherited is the policy - but I think the "common sense and the occasional exception" rule is appropriate here - as it would be in the case of a Beatles album without significant press coverage (perhaps none exists), which would still be included in any comprehensive music encyclopedia (presumably, Wikipedia aims to be, among other things, a music encyclopedia). In sum, I think Metallica albums are an exception to the general rule.Greedyhalibut (talk) 02:57, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete A mention in Metallica might be appropriate per WP:NALBUMS. However notability is not inherited, and albums need to meet the referencing and notability requirements set forth in WP:MUSIC. As an itunes exclusive there's little coverage that I could find, nothing meeting WP:RS. - 2 ... says you, says me, suggestion box 19:35, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
