 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Just another soundrack album. I'ed propose merging with the article on the film, bu this does not seem to exist TheLongTone (talk) 14:07, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep:This is the soundtrack album of the film M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story which was created due to the reason mentioned by Kailash29792 (talk) below, why would it have to be deleted when many films have soundtracks? Rajan51 (talk) 14:15, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Exactly, Many films have sountrack albums; why is this one notable.TheLongTone (talk) 14:23, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment: Rajan, your comment is not justifiable enough, and borders on WP:OTHERCRAP. If I were you, I'd say something like, The main article became too large, so we created a separate article for the soundtrack. This way, we could also upload the album cover to the soundtrack infobox as album covers are discouraged in film articles per WP:NFCC. Kailash29792 (talk) 14:25, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
 * yes, well, that aside, since the nomination statement is in error and the main article does exist, then a merge to M.S._Dhoni:_The_Untold_Story would be a simple enough solution. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:32, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah, my bad. Sloppy searching. The film article is, howeve, pretty baggy already.TheLongTone (talk) 14:35, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
 * @Shawn in Montreal, merging this is not a good solution as the film's article is bulky and cannot afford to hold such long track lists.Rajan51 (talk) 14:44, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
 * True, importing the soundtrack article as is might push the main article to the point where it becomes unwieldy. I've no strong views on the matter either way. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:59, 7 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment: I'm convinced that merging it to the main article would make the navigation pretty much difficult. However, I also noticed that majority of sources in the article are either primary or unreliable ones, and I wonder if there are any decent replacement for them. If not, it could be merged with parent article after removing contents based on unreliable/primary sources. Find replacements and ping me, I'll !vote keep.  Anup   [Talk]  20:15, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge with M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story. The length of the article does not justify WP:SUMMARYSTYLE. -- Redtigerxyz Talk 12:21, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story; anything useful can be picked up from the article history. The page as it stands contains too much intricate detail and is possibly a WP:PROMO article. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:51, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Strong Keep: Given the fact that the main article itself has a lot of sections within itself and has a long summary, I think that this article for the soundtracks deserves a separate page like it is already having. Also we have to consider the fact that the film was released officially in four different languages and the names of the songs are also different and some of the singers are different too. So if we merge this into the main article, then the main article would be unnecessarily long. So this article deserves to be kept separated.  Arka   92  13:33, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete It doesn't look like the album is notable on its own. The second paragraph can be placed in the film's article, with the rest deleted. There's no need to repeat the tracklisting.  Lugnuts  Precious bodily fluids 06:56, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 04:37, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as redundant with film's article already existing. Our articles these days on "popular culture" tend to disregard WP:SUMMARYSTYLE and go on to write every verifiable trivia. This only deteriorates our overall quality. Some editors here have been creating soundtrack articles just so they can use a different non-free image as MOS:FILM doesn't allow it anymore. That's ridiculous and stupid and to top that they even argue on same lines. I wonder if admins could bother to look into this matter. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 04:14, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete, redundant, unnecessary split. --Cavarrone 10:14, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
