Pebbles, Volume 1 (1989 album)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This nomination includes:

While part of a notable series of compilation albums, these albums individually do not pass WP:GNG or any of the criteria at WP:NALBUM. The content of these articles consists of tracklists and some original research. I suggest redirecting these to Pebbles (series). Lennart97 (talk) 14:30, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Relisting this because of the potential it has to impact 40+ pages down the track, I would like a higher level of involvement for that.
 * Comment - There are 46 album articles for the releases in the Pebbles (series), and the clear majority of them have no reliable sources, and often no sources at all. Many were created back in 2007, when album notability rules were looser. See a discussion on this matter at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums. The series appears notable but most of the individual albums have minimal or nonexistent media notice. I think almost all them should be redirected to the series. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 23:33, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect all to Pebbles (series) as recommended by the nominator. That applies to the four particular albums in this nomination. See my comment above and the linked project discussion for more on all the other albums in the series. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 23:35, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 03:59, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect agree with fellow editors wp:before brings up series not albums.Davidstewartharvey (talk) 06:50, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep (most of) the original 12 - As mentioned above, there's a discussion on the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums page. At this point, the article for the first Volume 1, from 1979 (not this one), is better referenced than the series article. Caro7200 (talk) 15:04, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Of course, but what is your !vote for the four albums up for deletion here? Lennart97 (talk) 15:11, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I would redirect--there's certainly nothing substantial for the 1989 Volume 1 via Google, and I think, for the most part (aside from the Back from the Grave series), that the garage rock compilation "craze" had mostly sputtered by the mid- to late 1980s.
