Peel Sessions (disambiguation)
Redundant to category. There were hundreds of sessions and many of those have been released on CD; if the recording justifies an article it belongs in the category. Delete. kingboyk 23:38, 10 April 2006 (UTC) Page moved from Peel Sessions to Peel Sessions (disambiguation) and AFD header updated, so editors can see "live" my alternate proposal. --kingboyk 17:23, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I've changed my opinion to retain as a disambiguation page at Peel Sessions (disambiguation). --kingboyk 17:36, 12 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Speedy Delete as patent nonsense, or if not, as listcruft. pm_shef 00:35, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, I think you need to actually read what patent nonsense means... — sjorford (talk)  10:20, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: On reflection I think this might be intended to be a dab page (so the red links and category membership should probably go). Although I'd prefer a redirect to John Peel and use of the category, it is hard to argue for the deletion of a dab page. I'd already raised the issue on Category talk:Artists who recorded Peel Sessions so hopefully some interested parties will turn up soon. --kingboyk 03:47, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Ardenn 06:38, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to John Peel and keep the Category MLA 08:49, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - before I cleaned it up in March, there were a number of links to Peel Sessions, The Peel Sessions etc. for specific albums. The list isn't meant to be a list of all Peel sessions, just those that were released as albums under the title "Peel Sessions", and are likely to deserve articles one day. (I'm under the impression that this would number in the high tens or low hundreds, rather than the thousands of actual recordings.) It's a useful disambiguation page, and a redirect to John Peel won't do the job. The category and the list complement each other here (as the category doesn't show redlinks). However, I note that there is a longer list of releases on the Strange Fruit Records article - probably the two lists ought to be merged. — sjorford (talk)  10:20, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
 * How about moving Peel Sessions to Peel Sessions (disambiguation) (commenting out the red links, adding a link to Strange Fruit Records, and restoring the disambig template to it), retaining Strange Fruit Records as is, and redirecting Peel Sessions to John Peel (with a redirect on that article)? Solution has found some favour at Category talk:Artists who recorded Peel Sessions. --kingboyk 17:02, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I can see some advantage to that, although if someone's looking for a specific album, that does mean an extra step before they can find it (Peel Sessions > John Peel > Peel Sessions (disambiguation) > The Peel Sessions (Napalm Death album)). — sjorford (talk)  08:15, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes it does, but I think really someone typing in "Peel Sessions" ought to be expecting an article about the Peel sessions, radio sessions on the John Peel show. The best way to find the album in this case is to go the artist, because "Peel Sessions" is - in terms of album naming - generic. If the reader doesn't already appreciate or understand that, doesn't know what the Peel Sessions are, we'd be doing them a favour by having them end up at the John Peel page I think. I think what I'll do is put this scheme into place now but leave the AFD tag on, so we can have a look at the end result and see if we want to keep it. --kingboyk 17:20, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as a disambiguation page - we need some way to separate the articles. Perhaps move to Peel Sessions (disambiguation), even, to avoid confusion. Flowerparty ? 13:13, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as dab page per kingboyk. - Rynne 18:35, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - as per above. Chairman S.  Talk  00:16, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
