The Cure tribute albums

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

There's no coverage by independent reliable sources that any of these albums are notable. indopug (talk) 20:57, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

The following article is of one of the albums listed above. Also fails notability.


 * Keep Strange as Angels, two sources cited. (I think CD Baby is reliable, but the other definitely is). No opinion on the other article. J Milburn (talk) 21:15, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I believe you meant "I think CD Baby is unreliable"? Anyway, CDBaby is a "little online record store that sells albums by independent musicians", so its a commercial site (not a reliable source). I'm pretty sure Splendid magazine is not a reliable source either; for one, I found this: "if you send us your music, we'll review it". So notability obviously cannot be established by either of these sources. indopug (talk) 21:53, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment - The establishment of WP:N for this list seems to hinge on The Cure is one of the top ten bands in terms of the number of albums that have been released in tribute. This is an unreferenced claim, which to me means at its core, the article fails WP:N, unless there is some source for that.  Further, how do we know these are all tribute albums, unless they are referenced.  Thus, the list is failing WP:V. LonelyBeacon (talk) 23:47, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into The_Cure_discography.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 02:18, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually it has been decided that tribute albums do not belong in a band's discography article, since they are not by the band itself (apart from probably being non-notable). See the MOS for discographies. indopug (talk) 07:08, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

 * This article is an important place for the collector to find information about these cds. Some of which are hard to locate physical copies of. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.150.184.30 (talk)
 * Usefulness for collectors isn't a criterion for notability. indopug (talk) 09:11, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
