The Real Mobb

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Hip hop album. No sources or reviews, and due to the fact that the album is 18 years old I don't think anything will be popping up. Beerest355 Talk 00:42, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete—Doesn't expand on the article on it's recording artists, no relevant google hits except for blogs and online music stores. -- SamX‧☎‧✎  04:41, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete - Fails WP:NALBUMS as nothing more then an infobox and tracklist basically. I do not think it would fall under any criteria of speedy deletion though.  STATic  message me!  02:45, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Why would we delete this? Why not simply redirect to artist? Candleabracadabra (talk) 23:45, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, that can be done if wanted to after deletion. We just need to expunge the history so nobody recreates it. Beerest355 Talk 00:45, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
 * How does "expung(ing) the history so nobody recreates it" serve the encyclopedia? Is this somewhere in policy? Has there been a problem with the article being recreated after being redirected? What if the album gets more coverage in future? It seems to me that it would be helpful to maintain the edit history and simply redirect it or merge what's worth including at the artist page.

 * Wikipedia requires a consensus before removing content. Redirecting is the same as deleting, only now there's a target. Also, what is there to merge? Nothing at all. Beerest355 Talk 02:51, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirecting is not the same as deleting because when an article is deleted the contents and editing history are lost except to admins. So unless there has been a problem with a subject being recreated inappropriately it is far better to redirect so all editors have access to page's full history and what was there previously. Who's to say something in that something in the history might won't be useful in future? Or that consensus may move toward including fuller discographies for notable artists? Why destroy something unnecessarily. Just redirect. Candleabracadabra (talk) 03:14, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
 * It is not very likely search term regardless, but if you want to vote for a redirect no one is stopping you.  STATic  message me!  04:58, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
