Vladimir Horowitz - The Complete Original Jacket Collection

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Nom.rationale:: Delete. Notability. Many of the recordings of this outstanding performer are notable on their own (e.g. his concerts in Moscow after years of living in the States, see Vladimir Horowitz discography) but the relevance of this compilation is not established. Yes, the box does include all the recordings by Vladimir Horowitz but it is not a notable product, although it does include notable recordings. Karljoos (talk) 09:45, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I believe that this deletion is unfair as the article is not even complete yet. Please wait and decide when the tag has been removed-- Pianoplonkers (talk • contribs) 11:14, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * When I added this the tag was not there. Also, I think the topic does not deserve an article.--Karljoos (talk) 12:08, 7 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep though I'd like to see better sourcing, the release has notability (being a major-label release from a VERY notable artist) and it does link to a professional review (from The Guardian). I'll take the above user at their word that this is indeed being actively improved. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  13:22, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. This compilation contains the bulk of Horowitz's recordings in best sound.  The majority of Horowitz's 25 Grammys were for the albums which this collection reproduces.  There are numerous articles on albums by other artists and groups, including compilation albums that do not have the breadth of material on this set -- see The Beatles for notable examples.  Deletion of this article would consititute that Classical music is somehow less "noteworthy" than popular music.  I will assist in adding information about this album, including listing the content of all 70 CDs.THD3 (talk) 13:51, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't you think it would be better to have individual articles about the most important recordings included in this compilation?--Karljoos (talk) 22:14, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * No, I think we should have both the most important individual recordings (although it may be difficult to get consensus on what are VH's most important recordings) and this compilation. See The_Capitol_Albums,_Volume_1 for an example of a compilation album.THD3 (talk) 02:19, 8 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep- This page has not had a chance to develop-- Pianoplonkers (talk • contribs) 14:54, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: I am a fan of Horowitz, and would love to have this collection, but the notability is in the individual recordings, not in the compilation. There should be an articles about some of the recording and DVD reles of Horowitz; this is just a commercial "packcage".--Karljoos (talk) 15:26, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. This article has to one of Horowitz's most "notable" releases and is far more than a "commercial package".  Etincelles  (talk)  15:56, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep, Normally, I would vote Delete on such a poor article with little notability shown, but it is tagged with under expansion and should be given the chance since it is properly tagged (a rarity on here these days. Can always be submitted again for AFD if not expanded in a rational amount of time Alan  -  talk  19:01, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - I have found that a few committed editors have been doing a huge amount of work on the discography of Vladimir Horowitz. This takes time and they are using the "under construction" tag appropriately. Give this article some time and discuss the collection's notability after the original editors have completed their task. D OOMSDAYER 520  (Talk|Contribs) 20:52, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * When I placed the deletion proposal there was no WIP-tag and I don't think that more work will help the notability of this article.--Karljoos (talk) 22:23, 7 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep - Per WP:NALBUMS, "In general, if the musician or ensemble that recorded an album is considered notable, then officially released albums may have sufficient notability to have individual articles on Wikipedia." This is an officially released album on a major label by a notable musician, and I see no compelling reason to consider this official album of notable recordings non-notable.
