The Essential

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No secondary sources for this compilation album. Only sources are primary. The fact that several albums in this series have certified platinum means that those individual albums are notable but the series isn't. Compare Articles for deletion/16 Biggest Hits, Articles for deletion/Super Hits, Articles for deletion/20th Century Masters – The Millennium Collection — same reasoning holds up here.

 * Can easily be converted to a list of The Essential albums or a disambiguation page. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 10:32, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - for the same reasons as found in the AfDs for similar series as linked in this nomination. Individual albums within the series can stand or fall on their own merits, but the series has not achieved notability as an entity separate from the albums within it. Also, the disambig list idea is a pretty good one. -- D OOMSDAYER 520  (Talk|Contribs) 23:25, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
