Sorry Hzh, I've never entered into a debate on Wikipedia, this will be a first. I disagree that this page should be deleted on the premise that it is relevant within the scope of Wu-Tang Clan, and it is notable. for instance the Australian edition was cover by the second biggest music magazine in Australia. this mixtape was just released. Also I have seen mixtapes and even albums with less references then this one, I was under the impressed that's a discog reference would suffice, I'm here to make wikipedia better and talk on a subject matter that I am very familiar with. Look forward to your responce. Passportgang (talk) 11:29, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

I have multiple links for the Australian edition, can you guys give me an indication if these are still relevant, I've saved two of these links for another article i am writing. http://themusic.com.au/news/all/2018/01/19/perth-rapper-b-nasty-featured-on-gza-and-dj-symphonys-wu-invasion-mixtape-series-1516343075/ | http://xpressmag.com.au/b-nasty-getting-down-with-dj-symphony/ | https://www.cairnspost.com.au/entertainment/kuranda-hip-hop-mc-diggis-has-secured-honour-having-a-track-included-on-a-prestigious-wuinvasion-compilation/news-story/92545e987e2ea5bcd45f3be88075ec07 Passportgang (talk) 11:37, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Discogs and MusicBrainz are simple listings and do not contribute to notability. Same for AllMusic and other sites if there is no review there. Discogs is also user generated, therefore it is not consider a reliable source per WP:RS. The Australian edition is a different album, and cannot be extended to this album. In any case, the Xpress magazine one is only a passing mention of the album where the artist talk about recording, and the Cairns Post one is also one where the artist talks about the recording. You can read more about the guideline on notability for albums and why some sources are not accepted at WP:NALBUMS. Hzh (talk) 14:55, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete. Not notable. No coverage from reliable sources. In fact, there is no indication that this is even an official release. The "Official website" external link in the article goes to DJ Symphony's home page, which links to a DatPiff page that doesn't even include a listing for Wu-Invasion Mixtape Series: World Edition Volume 1.

 * Delete: fails WP:NALBUM. And there won't be any independent sources for this, because the albums are only available through Wu Tang's website, AND the contributing artists pay to have their tracks included on the Wu Invasion albums. In short, it's a money-making exercise with the Wu Tang Clan's names on it for publicity purposes. Richard3120 (talk) 16:51, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
