The Top 50 Albums of the Year

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There is no signficant coverage by third-party sources of this topic, and this article is made up of nothing else but citations to Pitchfork, whose year-end best albums list is the topic of this article. While Pitchfork itself is notable, WP:NOTINHERIT applies here. This isn't notable outside of the publication.


 * Delete as the nominator, per WP:NOTINHERIT and lack of significant third-party coverage. Dan56 (talk) 20:45, 15 September 2016 (UTC) Dan56 (talk) 20:45, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Per WP:NOTINHERIT parent notability should be established independently; notability is not inherited "up", from notable subordinate to parent, either: not every manufacturer of a notable product is itself notable. With no third part rs, the article should be deleted. Comatmebro  User talk:Comatmebro 20:54, 15 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Merge into awards section on Pitchfork Media. South Nashua (talk) 22:10, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Response - A table already exists at that article, along with this template. Dan56 (talk) 22:16, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
 * It appears like that the article up for deletion here was an expansion of that template. South Nashua (talk) 23:34, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Right, so this article should be deleted, because it is also a needless content fork. Dan56 (talk) 23:37, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Yup. I agree. I think some of the information will be useful in the original article, as you mentioned here. South Nashua (talk) 23:38, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment For info, there have been two similar lists related to Pitchfork that have gone through AfD before. One was deleted and the other kept.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 06:52, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete -- no independent 3rd party coverage. All sourced to Pitchfork so also has an appearance of WP:PROMO. K.e.coffman (talk) 15:37, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
