The Capitol Years 1995–2007

This is unlikely to ever grow more as an article. I don't think it needed its own article in the first place. LF (talk) 23:11, 10 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Neutral: This is one of those ironic cases. The album has been reviewed critically in several reliable sources and so, formally, seems to meet WP:GNG. However, the general opinion in those reliable sources is that the album is no great shakes -- essentially, not notable in the world of music. So this may be one of those ironic cases in the wonderful world of music, movies, et cetera, where the album may essentially be notable for not being notable. -- BenTels (talk) 23:45, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure whether notability, or otherwise, depends on whether reviews are positive or not.  N-HH   talk / edits  11:32, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Formally, it doesn't. That's my complaint about cases such as this one: we're just looking at whether or not reviews exist, but not at what they're actually saying. So if the critical reviews say that a movie/album/book/et cetera is eminently forgettable (i.e. not notable), then we consider it notable because someone said that it isn't notable. -- BenTels (talk) 15:11, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - Has received coverage in reliable, third party sources. Many of which are already in the article. The reviews are long and detailed. Passes the WP:GNG. I don't follow the sentiment of "not being able to expand it". Seems like it would be relatively easy to expand... Sergecross73   msg me   01:33, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article can be expanded with a "Critical reception" section using info from the multiple album reviews provided. The album also charted at number 16 in Greece, so adding a "Charts" section to the article is also possible. Both WP:GNG and WP:NALBUMS appear to be satisfied.

 * Keep Pretty notable band and hence prima facie one of their officially released albums, even if a compilation, is going to be worth having an entry on, especially since all their other albums are here and hence losing this one would create a rather odd gap. OK, that's not strictly what the current notability guidelines for albums - oddly, in my view - say, but that doesn't matter as it clearly has independent coverage in its own right anyway.

 * Keep It received enough media coverage to justify its own article. No reason for this album to be deleted, even at AFD, since it meets all the notability criteria. — ΛΧΣ  21™  02:16, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
