 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Oscar_Peterson_discography. The relist comment asked the question, Redirect or delete, and unfortunately, I still don't see a clear consensus either way. But, giving the nod to redirect per WP:ATD. In any case, clear consensus to not leave this as a stand-alone article. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:16, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

Oscar Peterson Plays Jazz Standards

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

recordings specifies, "significant coverage in reliable sources". This article has only one source (Allmusic). Also, that section specifies, "a standalone article is only appropriate when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged into the artist's article or discography."

 * Comment: This appears to be one of 4 selected Peterson albums in a 1996 edition of Joachim-Ernst Berendt's "The Jazz Book". AllyD (talk) 18:38, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment. It's a compilation album. Even though it appears to be an official one (from one of OP's labels), there must be dozens by now. Unless there's something that makes this one stand out, I see little reason to keep the article. EddieHugh (talk) 18:48, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Oscar_Peterson_discography where it is listed. The AllMusic "review" is a single sentence. I did find what looks like a full paragraph here. Otherwise mostly is shows up as a listed album with little or no comment. Still not enough to justify a separate article IMO. Gab4gab (talk) 20:21, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Don't redirect, unless a separate section in the discog is made for compilations: deleting the article would mean cutting it from the discog, as it shouldn't be where it currently is in that. EddieHugh (talk) 00:18, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Not my area of expertise. I'm fine with not redirecting if it doesn't belong. Gab4gab (talk) 03:17, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Oscar_Peterson_discography. A separate section can be made in the list for compilations. This album should have already been on his discography list anyway. Aoba47 (talk) 15:23, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Do you have any idea how many OP compilation albums there might be? The number will be very high and growing all the time. Creating a list of them is pointless, as almost none will be notable and no one will be interested. Or are you volunteering to create this new section? If not, and no one else is, then don't redirect. EddieHugh (talk) 15:58, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
