Miracle: Happy Summer From William Hung

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I previously PRODded this article for deletion, which was successful, and a curiosity journey led me to discover someone had recreated it. I ran a Google search for the phrase ("happy summer from william hung") and found nothing to really justify the existence of the article out of a whopping 94 results. I may have been in error PRODding his other two album articles, and for that I apologize, but this one I can testify is not important as its article would remain forever a stub. There is nothing that this article says that can't be said on his page, but even then a merge really isn't in order because it's not big enough to be a merge.

 * Keep I'm still on the works of this article. I'm sure the few reviews, the coverage by New York Times of only selling 7,000 units, among a few other sources I've haven't put here yet should still be enough to meet the notability guidelines here on Wikipedia.

 * After doing a lot of more work on this article I'm sure this isn't much of a stub anymore. Yes, it's a little short, but not so much it would be a stub. EditorE (talk) 14:55, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

Keep - The article where it stands right now looks good. Enough sources and its notable for being one of the worst albums in history. Also I am a member of the Association of Deletionist Wikipedians so I dont say keep too often. Newsjunky12 (talk) 22:10, 4 July 2013 (UTC) Proud member of the Association of Deletionist Wikipedians!
 * To be fair, it is bigger now than it was before. Right now I might favor more of a merge for his three albums, because that might actually create a substantial article and there seems to be a lot more to say on them than I thought. Unless EditorE can expand each one significantly beyond where they stand now, I would be more in favor of a merge to an article containing all three at this point. (It's going to look much better than the discography I collated recently: Scale the Summit discography.)  LazyBastard Guy  03:57, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Also, I guess I am something of a deletionist too, but it's not so much I delete whatever I please as I'm picky about which things I feel deserve their own articles. At the time of nomination, this article was identical to when I had it PRODded, as back then it was very weak and unmaintained, and I recall finding nothing of use when I went looking. But I won't withdraw it just yet; I imagine something good can come from this.  LazyBastard Guy  03:59, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, I think all album articles look fine on it's own. They have enough coverage to pass WP:NALBUMS and WP:GNG, and I've already nominated Hung for the Holidays for a good article. How about you look at how short the good article Hitmixes is before merging all album articles. EditorE (talk) 14:26, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
 * That might just be the shortest GA I've ever seen, but I have my doubts an article could be any shorter to be GA. And FYI, I never said anything about "merging all album articles", whatever that means. Try not to assume I'm here to destroy you, okay? I couldn't help but read your post in a confrontational tone, so let me defuse the situation by saying I'm trying to be helpful. Again, I might not be in favor of a deletion at this point. So take that for whatever it's worth, okay? I only suggest merges wherever it seems a merge could possibly exist. If it doesn't make sense to merge all like-minded articles and that means leaving a few shorter ones behind, who am I to argue with that?  LazyBastard Guy  19:10, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
