The Best of Siouxsie and the Banshees

Does this need to exist? What more can be added to this article? I think it's very rare for a greatest-hits-album to warrant its own article – it has to have some sort of historical merit or importance within the band's ouvre, such as Singles Going Steady, for example, which is arguably more well-known than any of that band's studio albums.

 * Its existence alone being by such a notable band should warrant at least a redirect to Siouxsie and the Banshees discography. -- Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 15:05, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep. I don't see a benefit to deleting this, and there is no argument put forward why this should be deleted. --Michig (talk) 19:11, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Detailed coverage in multiple reliable sources ; appears to meet WP:GNG and WP:NALBUMS.  Gong   show  23:27, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:BEFORE, again. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:11, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - The fact that there was a track exclusive to this release pretty much defeats the "Greatest Hits Packages Don't Count as Works" rationale. Adequate sourcing and good information. Carrite (talk) 02:11, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notability of this compilation is proved. This demand is unfounded as this compilation is very well known. Carliertwo (talk) 19:20, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - Major album (even if compilation) from a notable group. Shadowjams (talk) 02:20, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
