Warped Tour 2002 Tour Compilation
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a nomination for deletion of a series of articles about compilation albums failing the WP:GNG criteria for notability, including the article identified above and also the following articles:

My recent WP:PRODs for the first four of these articles (2002, 2011, 2012, and 2013) were deprodded by the same anonymous IP without providing any edit summary to explain the action (and the IP has no other edit history).

My subsequent nomination for deletion of these articles, discussed at Articles for deletion/Warped Tour 2002 Tour Compilation, was closed with a suggestion to break up the proposed deletion list into smaller groups. This is the first of those groups. None of the articles have been improved since that deletion discussion, in which five participants (including myself) expressed the opinion that these articles should be deleted, and the primary objection (expressed by two participants) was procedural – based on the idea that too many articles of different types were grouped into a single deletion nomination. This new nomination should rectify that.
 * The article Warped Tour 2002 Tour Compilation cites only a dead link on Allmusic (a site that does not limit its descriptions to notable topics and has generally been agreed to be insufficient for establishing notability for Wikpedia purposes). That is clearly inadequate to show evidence of notability. The article consists only of track listing information, with no commentary by critics and no charting information or any other indication of notability.
 * The article Warped Tour 2011 Tour Compilation cites only a self-published promotional dead link and shows no clear evidence of notability. The article basically only contains the sort of information one would find printed on the album cover (i.e., a track listing and a description of the cover art).
 * The article Warped Tour 2012 Tour Compilation shows no evidence of notability and is poorly sourced. It cites only a four-sentence review on Allmusic, a track listing, and a self-published dead link. The article contains only basic information, includes no commentary by music critics, shows no evidence that the album charted, etc.
 * The article Warped Tour 2013 Tour Compilation is essentially unsourced and contains no evidence of notability. It cites only a track listing and contains only basic information such as a track listing. There is no commentary by music critics, no charting information, no other indication that the topic is really notable.
 * The article Warped Tour 2005 Tour Compilation cites only a one-paragraph (seven-sentence) review on Allmusic, which is clearly inadequate to show evidence of notability. The article consists only of track listing information, with no commentary by critics and no charting information.
 * This is the third nomination for deletion for Warped Tour 2010 Tour Compilation. Its prior discussion can be found at Articles for deletion/Warped Tour 2010 Tour Compilation. That article cites only a three-sentence comment on Allmusic, which is clearly insufficient to establish notability. The article contains only basic track listing information and a description of the cover art – no comments by music critics and no evidence of notability. The situation for that article has not improved at all since its first deletion nomination in 2010. I believe the passage of time with no further evidence of long-term notability should be sufficient to clarify the fact that this article should be deleted. The previous "keep" consensus was based in part on someone's comment that "I imagine there are more [sources] out there" (emphasis added), The famous X-Files tagline that "The Truth Is Out There" comes to mind – the article was kept based on speculation, and the passage of time should make it clear that the speculation was unfounded.

Addendum: If this multi-article nomination for deletion is successful, the template Warped Tour should probably also be deleted, since it is basically a navigation guide to the articles that are nominated for deletion.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete all none of these appear to be notable albums. Category:Warped Tour compilation albums will also be empty from this AfD. The sources in the prior 2010 AfD are all WP:MILL product announcement-type posts. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 04:11, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete All- as per nomination. A brief mention in the Warped Tour article should be more than enough for these non-notable albums.--Rusf10 (talk) 01:42, 3 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete, maybe for all, we have a List of Warped Tour lineups by year that is way better sourced, and doesn't include the minutiae (is that the word) that is not needed on Wikipedia. Gatemansgc (talk) 04:58, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
