Righeira (Righeira album)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

While this group had several hit songs, none of their albums, including this one, appear to meet either WP:GNG, and definitely don't meet WP:NALBUM.  Onel 5969  TT me 15:58, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete or redirect with protection, because redirection has been attempted before, and the article creator has insisted on restoring the article without providing any sources. Really the same applies to all of the group's albums which this editor has created, none of which have charted anywhere – the article creator has also insisted on creating a chart table for the albums on the group's discography page, which I have pointed out is a waste of time, as naturally with no charting albums at all, the table is completely empty.

 * Delete This article does not even make a claim to notability. I was going to say redirect to the group's article Righeira, and protect the redirect if required, per Richard3120, but no-one is ever going to search on this title. Since the album is named for the group, anyone looking for it will end up on the right page. Meters (talk) 08:19, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - First, note that there is an article for one of the songs from this album, Vamos a la playa (Righeira song), which was a significant hit single in Europe, and the article backs it up. However I can find nothing on this parent album, which appears not to have charted anywhere, even in the same countries where the single hit the top ten. Perhaps this says something about the marketing of European albums in the 80s. The nominator may also want to check out the articles for two other albums by this group: Bambini Forever and Vamos a la playa (Righeira album). This "Comment" is not a vote because I find it strange that an album is so invisible even though it has a huge single, and I am unsure on whether to delete or redirect. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 14:07, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I think there are two issues here. Firstly, there were no Italian album charts during the 1980s, so charting is going to be impossible to find, even if the album includes a big hit single. Secondly, for Eurodisco/pop songs like "Vamos a la playa", their appeal was generally to a "one-off" singles-oriented market, and often a group like this might have one or two hits and then disappear completely. It would be very common that a summer party song like this could sell in huge numbers, but nobody would be interested in buying a whole album that just repeated the formula ten times with diminishing results. The fact that the album didn't chart in other established European charts, despite the song's popularity there as well, is a good indication to me that this is the case. Given the single's popularity, it seems likely to me that the album might have been reviewed in Musica e dischi, easily Italy's most popular music magazine of the time - maybe in other European music magazines as well. But without access to any copies to check this, it's impossible to say whether I'm right. Richard3120 (talk) 14:59, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment: I found one reliable source so far Rolling Stone. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 22:50, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Good find, but it's hard to say how much of that article is useful or in-depth... it's clearly written very much tongue-in-cheek. It basically describes the album as giving new meaning to the word "nonsense", laughs at the lyrics of three of the tracks, and that's it. Richard3120 (talk) 23:04, 28 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Righeira discography: Barely found anything about the album aside from a source indicated above. There may be sources about the album per Richard3120, but they're hard to find in the net. ASTIG😎  (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 16:00, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Righeira discography. After my comment above, the others have convinced me of the wisdom of this recommendation. Note that there is evidence that an interested editor keeps reverting redirects of this band's albums, so Protect against reversion of this redirect as well. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 14:29, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
