Lord of the Past: A Compilation

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

PROD removed because "compilation albums are routinely listed on WP". I can't find the policy WP:ROUTINELYLISTED but I can find WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of information, WP:V and WP:RS (both absent from this article) and no actual policy that mandates including every album ever released by anybody who makes the inclusion threshold, however narrowly. The sole source here is editable by artists and their PR, it is not a source that provides evidence of significance, only one where absence is strong evidence of the opposite.

Point number 2 in WP:NALBUM says, "2. The single or album has appeared on any country's national music chart." Thus, Lord of the Past: A Compilation qualifies to be kept; as the references in the article note. Christopher Rath (talk) 15:31, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Delete - I can't find any sources other than trivial mentions. Fails WP:NALBUM.- MrX 03:03, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - I have added two more references to the article in support of prominence. Note, I do not understand the original argument posed that WP is not "an indiscriminate collection of information" when this is part of a prominent musical artist's catalog of work. Just because one release in an artist's career is not as prominently lauded as another does not seem to me to be a reason to erase that part of the artist's career from WP.

 * See additional comment in the introductory paragraph. Christopher Rath (talk) 15:31, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Keep Not enough coverage to meet requirements of WP:NALBUM to establish its own notability. The artists notability does not pass to the album per WP:NOTINHERITED. JBH (talk) 18:55, 9 February 2015 (UTC) Making a national chart passes WP:NALBUM. JBH (talk) 16:03, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
