Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The String Quartet Tribute to System of a Down's Mezmerize


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect three, merge one. There is enough support for merger here (which is a form of keep) to make deletion inappropriate, but strong consensus that these albums do not demonstrate notability sufficient to merit stand-alone status. The albums are all already mentioned at Vitamin Records (with which String Quartet Tribute has recently been merged). The track listings at The String Quartet Tribute to System of a Down's Hypnotize and The String Quartet Tribute to System of a Down's Mezmerize are redundant to the albums being tributed, and without compelling reason this information should not be merged to the parent article as it currently exists for space concerns. (See WP:MUSIC); these articles are accordingly being redirected. The body of The String Quartet Tribute to Dream Theater includes additional information which can be incorporated into the parent article and has been merged as a footnote. The track listings at Arteries Untold: The String Quartet Tribute to Hawthorne Heights and The String Quartet Tribute to Dream Theater are unique arrangements and may be appropriate for inclusion in some form or the other in the parent article; because of space concerns and precedent within the article, they have not been. The article Arteries Untold: The String Quartet Tribute to Hawthorne Heights has simply been redirected. This is easily remedied by referring to the history of the redirected articles if the contributors at Vitamin Records deem the inclusion of track lists appropriate. If unfamiliar with merging, please refer to Help:Merge for proper procedure to follow. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:20, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

This is a non-notable album by a tribune band. The only thing they mention are redlinked names of who created the album and the track listing. The track listing is pointless because you can find that at the Mezmerize article. I am also nominating the following articles for the same reasons:
 * The String Quartet Tribute to System of a Down's Hypnotize
 * Arteries Untold: The String Quartet Tribute to Hawthorne Heights
 * The String Quartet Tribute to Dream Theater Tavix (talk) 00:40, 1 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge into The String Quartet Tribute per precedent Sceptre (talk) 02:19, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Articles about tribute albums are typically pointless by definition, unless the tribute album actually has some independent notability in its own right (which is not the case here). Terraxos (talk) 03:28, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Note - The DT one does actually have sources. -Violask81976 21:23, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge as per Sceptre or into the system of a down article Fattyjwoods  ( Push my button  ) 03:39, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge all into The String Quartet Tribute.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 05:38, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - The article The String Quartet Tribute already makes mention of the system of a down album. Mention could be included in the original album articles for Mezmerize/Hypnotize. AtaruMoroboshi (talk) 19:51, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep one, Dream Theater's album. It has sources at least. -Violask81976 21:22, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment The only thing "special" about the DT one is that it had a packaging error, according to the article. The other references refers to who picked/played the songs. May I ask how that gives notability? Tavix (talk) 21:18, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: It was released by a group who has released hundred of albums, was a tribute of covering 20 years of a band that is notable, contains a unique track listing that could not be found elsewhere like the Mezmerise and Hypnotize tracks can, and had a printing error. By all rules, every single album that the String Quartet Tribute has put out is notable: they have released many cds on a major record label, some of which have won awards. -Violask81976 18:38, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
