The result was Delete - Probable hoax as there is no evidence from reliable sources exist. Most of the keeps centre around the reasoning of the nominator, however there are many valid reasons to delete this article. -Djsasso (talk) 05:27, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

The Best Of Melanie C

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Poorly written, completely unsourced article. Has not been improved upon in almost a month. Washburn mav (talk) 14:50, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - any useful, salveageable information in the article can just be added to Melanie C discography. It Is Me Here (talk) 16:48, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep since AFD is not cleanup. The nom presents only cleanup issues, not notability/verifiability concerns, the latter being what is needed for deletion. --Rividian (talk) 19:38, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-verifiable. I've found no reliable sources from a google search or google news search, for either "The Best of Malanie C" or "The Best of Mel C". Silverfish (talk) 23:50, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, no reason for AfD given by The Nominator. Ref WP:BEFORE; "...adding a "cleanup" template, instead of bringing the article to AfD".   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 00:55, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete even though I agree that the nomination was flawed as I suspect that this is a hoax. The closest to any news about this allegedly "announced" release I can find is a blog entry about an April 2005 scheduled release with a very different track listing and all on one disc. I have done quite a bit of cleanup on this article but if it's not real, it's not supposed to be in this encyclopedia. - Dravecky (talk) 04:22, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete, but not for any reasons the nom gave, which are all editing issues, not deletion. Album not listed at Melanie C's entry on allmusic.com; gsearch for '"The Best Of Melanie C" -wikipedia' gives just 7 hits, none of which show existence let alone notablity; zero gnews hits. If this ever becomes a real album that meets the criteria of WP:MUSIC, go ahead and recreate, but for now it fails WP:V and WP:N.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  14:13, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, should be cleaned up or listed as stub, not deleted. - McCart42 (talk) 16:45, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Question Have you found evidence this album even exists?-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  18:43, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
