Songs from the Road (Jeff Healey album)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Also these:





A series of articles about albums by Canadian musician Jeff Healey (1966 - 2008). These articles contain track listings and little else. All of these articles fail WP:NALBUMS. These albums did not chart and were not reviewed in multiple reliable sources. Wikipedia is not the Allmusic Guide. We should not have articles on albums that only contain track listings.

 * Withdrawn based on information from Michig below. --LK (talk) 10:17, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Obvious keep. "These albums did not chart and were not reviewed in multiple reliable sources" - are you kidding? These were all reviewed in many publications and they all charted in several countries. In the UK these reached numbers 58, 18, and 72 respectively. In the US they reached 22, 27, and 174. Try searching Google News archive for any of these and you'll see lots of reviews. They may need improvement, but that's a reason to improve them, not to delete them.--Michig (talk) 08:30, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep, as per Michigs rationale, this link to chart placings and the guideline for albums. Not a good nomination. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 09:25, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment Can we please have the references to back up the claim that these charted in the US at 22, 27, and 174 respectively? I note that the articles themselves don't claim that any of these albums charted. Also, making the claim that they were "reviewed in many publications" is not helpful if you don't produce the reviews. BTW, the link above goes to a site that does not actually have any information about Jeff Healey's albums. LK (talk) 09:54, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Sigh. Click the link. Click where it says 'View Albums'. View the chart placings. That's the official reliable source that proves the albums charted in the UK. I'm not too bothered whether they charted in the US; they charted in the UK and that's enough. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 10:00, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually I don't get any chart positions at that URL. There are plenty of chart aggregators around, Billboard, Allmusic, but here's some links: UK Chart positions, US Chart positions. I pointed you towards Google News for reviews - it would be a waste of my time to stick a load of links in here. Do you seriously think an album that was a hit in both the US and the UK didn't get reviewed?--Michig (talk) 10:04, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, you have to click where it says 'VIEW ALBUMS'....off-topic, but ChartStats isn't always 100% accurate. The correct archive to use is the one I linked to. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 10:06, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I'll withdraw this AfD nomination based on Michig's links above. Dylanfromthenorth, I still get nothing from your link. Have you tried it? BTW, a bit of WP:POLITE would be nice. Did you honestly think that I did not try clicking on the 'view albums' button? LK (talk) 10:13, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I have tried it yes, and assumed you hadn't seen it as it's a little way down the page. It still works for me so don't know why it doesn't for you. A little WP:BEFORE wouldn't go amiss from you if we're being picky. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 10:17, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
