The Christmas Collection (Olivia Newton-John album)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:NALBUMS, no sources found at all. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 15:32, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete: Only one source is found and doesn't appear to be significant. KGirlTrucker81huh? what I've been doing 16:07, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. There's a brief Allmusic review but not much else. Like most compilations it doesn't seem to have received a lot of attention and an article doesn't appear to be justified. --Michig (talk) 10:24, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose,  hi, would you accept Tim Ewbank Olivia: The Biography of Olivia Newton-John as a reliable source?
 * Also this article has nominated as fall-out of the current ongoing AFD on the original album of which this is a reissue. Although that sold, please click: it appears, a minimum of 500,000 copies (Hallmarks albums of this period were all Gold or Platinum were figures are available) because it was sold outside the Billboard system we don't have a Chart number. And yet it's original material, new recordings by two major artists ONJ and Vince Gill. This album we're looking at now was reissued to return the exclusive songs to normal record shops without having to buy 3 Hallmark cards to also shell out $7.95 for the original album.
 * The thing is that the songs/recordings that make up this 2nd album are as much part of the Olivia Newton John discography as any other song. It doesn't make sense to delete these 2 (actually 1) Christmas albums when it's the first such album the artist did. I personally would like to see the two articles merged, so the info on the actual recordings/songs can be in the same place. In ictu oculi (talk) 14:41, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
 * The original album may be notable. This compilation (it doesn't appear to be a reissue of Tis the Season) doesn't seem to be from what I've seen so far. Ewbank's book appears to be ok as a reliable source - how much coverage of this album does it have? --Michig (talk) 20:06, 26 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Independent evidence has been presented above that justifies the article's retention. Bubbatex (talk) 17:03, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Where? The only sources are passing mentions at best. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 00:35, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * As listed above: 1) Allmusic review by Heather Phares, 2) Allmusic review by Rob Theakston , and 3) Tim Ewbank's Olivia: The Biography of Olivia Newton-John. Also mentioned at 4) Inquisitr  and 5) the Songwriter's Hall of Fame . Bubbatex (talk) 16:58, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * That's 2 brief reviews from the same website, two maybe not reliable sources that give it the briefest of mentions (one of which is copied from the singer's website), and some unspecified coverage in a book. It's still looking pretty thin for supporting an article. --Michig (talk) 18:11, 31 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete as I do not believe the sources provided above give enough indication of notability to support an argument that this should have its own page. Aoba47 (talk) 19:23, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I will strike my delete vote if users really believe there is enough of info out there to expand the article (especially since someone has volunteered to do so). Aoba47 (talk) 21:02, 31 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep – With just a quick Google search (and news/book search), there is plenty of info out there. In fact, I'd be happy to expand the article. Carbrera (talk) 20:38, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Perhaps you could provide links to a few examples of this coverage? --Michig (talk) 21:57, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Where did you find any of this coverage? Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 00:37, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I apologize. It seems as if almost all of what I saw was directed towards her Christmas songs and not the album in general. However, I don't see the need for this discussion to result in a "delete". At worst it should "redirect" to Olivia Newton-John as it still receives quite a bit of page views, and yes I know this past month was the holiday season. Carbrera (talk) 00:47, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - I was actually shocked that there wasn't more coverage of an album by someone of Newton-John's stature, even if it was a compilation album.  Onel 5969  TT me 12:31, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
