Straight To The Point

 * – (View AfD)

No assertion of notability. Article is merely a tracklisting. LaMenta3 19:41, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge. Tracklisting articles are common, and it might be a good idea to discuss whether they should or should not exist on Wikipedia. As it stands they are allowed, but it would do no harm to merge the contents into Atlantic Starr. Shalom Hello 19:59, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, albums by notable artists are generally notable enough for their own articles. Ten Pound Hammer  • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps•Review?) 20:59, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment While I'm not against keeping the information, we must keep in mind that Wikipedia is not a directory. I would be in favor of this and similar articles being merged either into the article about the band or into an article "Albums by..." and have all of the titles redirect there. It seems superfluous to have all of these articles floating around that are just tracklistings. If the album by itself is highly notable (it set sales records, launched a band's career, started a movement, etc.) then I would say it could warrant its own article, but other than that, a little information condensing might be beneficial.

 * Comment From WP:MUSIC: "

If the musician or ensemble that recorded an album is considered notable, then albums may have sufficient notability to have individual articles on Wikipedia. Individual articles on albums should include independent coverage.

Album articles with little more than a track listing may be more appropriately merged into the artist's main article, space permitting." MarkBul 23:33, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
