Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Albums and songs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Albums and songs. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Albums and songs|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Albums and songs. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Article created in a rush, filled with album reviews that lack any substance, most of them being one paragraph short.
Chart positions don't grant a song notability, plus they are top 30 and over.

- Merge to The Romantic (album). The charting does provide some notability, but there appears to be little coverage of the song independent of the album to substantiate it. Merge or redirect is fine. ← Metallurgist (talk) 04:27, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

- Delete - Didn't find anything else anything besides the AllMusic review. The artist actually might be notable (many borderline notable solo albums) and normally non-notable albums should be redirected to artist article but in this case it should be deleted unless someone is willing to create the article. --Mika1h (talk) 23:15, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
- Delete. Not much of anything out there, and [this] doesn't cut it. Also no good redirect target, as artist not notable. WidgetKid Converse 04:11, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
List of Vocaloid songs
- List of Vocaloid songs (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This list is fundamentally unmaintainable. My separate arguments are as follows:
- "Vocaloid songs" is not a simple category, but rather an impossibly broad one. Vocaloid is a software, closer to an instrument. Quite a popular one at that, with over 100 different characters/voicebanks. It is not a genre, nor is it a specific artist. In theory, a "List of songs using Vocaloid" can be argued as of broad as a category as "List of songs that use guitars" or "List of films edited using Adobe Premiere Pro". And even more broad than categories we've ruled out as too broad like "List of rock songs".
- And while I'm sure that, somehow, an WP:NLIST argument could be made, the broadness of this article is so large that I'd argue the page fails WP:INDISCRIMINATE, and there are better alternatives that I will outline below.
- The article, as is, has no clear inclusion criteria. It appears to be based on songs that we have individual articles for, judging by the terminology of "Notable songs". However, using Wikipedia slang in a mainspace article is asking for trouble. Whatever a "notable song" is jargon to a leeway reader. No attempt at what a "notable song" is is clarified to the reader. Furthermore, even if that were clarified, it likely would not have foundation in Wikipedia policy as any experienced editor should know that the threshold of receiving inclusion somewhere on Wikipedia is much lower than what is typically required for a standalone article. Unless we invoke WP:CSC, although I think that's something that'd have to come out of consensus, as opposed to this page's apparent mashing together of marginally related songs.
- There are better options to covering Vocaloid songs as a group, or particularly noteworthy ones. My initial thoughts point towards something like a list of songs using specific Vocaloids (e.g. "List of songs with Hatsune Miku"), which while still very broad would be much more maintainable (one voicebank versus over a hundred). Or, an article centered around the Niconico Vocaloid Songs Top 20 chart and then another article for songs that reached number-one on it, a format with far more precedent on Wikipedia (e.g. Mainstream Rock (chart) and List of Billboard Mainstream Rock number-one songs of the 2020s). A third option, though likely the least ideal, is a list of songs in a rhythm game focused around Vocaloid like Hatsune Miku: Project Diva, if we truly wanted to cover these songs somewhere.
- While I know that quality issues are not a reason for deletion in most cases, I would still like to point out that this article is relatively uninformative to the point where, even if ruled out as a notable concept, wouldn't have anything worth preserving. There are two sentences of original writing here; everything else is a copy paste of a song article's lead sentence. A category is more informative. λ NegativeMP1 01:37, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

- Delete. Category:Vocaloid songs already exists, that should be good enough. 162 etc. (talk) 05:33, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
- Note: The main reason why i created this article is because I wanted to make sure there was a list of popular vocaloid songs which were popular enough to have SOME sources but not to have a full article. But user Discospinster decided to remove half of the article. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Vocaloid_songs&oldid=1325395412 I do take apology here for using YouTube as a source. Talk 11:02, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
- Delete: I agree with the nominator. This list could include anyone from Hatsune Miku, through Kanye West to Wendy Carlos. It is completely WP:INDISCRIMINATE. No criteria for inclusion is included in the article, which leaves the reader guessing as to what actually counts... 11WB (talk) 18:59, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
- Delete. Nominator has outlined the problems very well. As it stands, this list is WP:INDISCRIMINATE and extremely broad with no clear inclusion criteria. It is better suited to a category. If somebody wanted to make "List of songs in the Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA series" to make a better attempt at covering popular Vocaloid songs together, I think that might have enough sources to meet NLIST.

Does not establish notability per WP:GNG or WP:NSONG. The only non-primary source cited is The Christian Beat, which is a fan news blog rather than a reliable, independent source providing significant coverage.

- Comment: Some new edits and sources were added since my nomination. The additional sources do not meaningfully change the notability assessment. The two K-Love pieces, while one is dedicated to the song, come from a Christian radio network with a promotional relationship to the artists it covers. Jesus Freak Hideout is a niche fan review site with questionable WP:RS status, and the piece is an album review rather than dedicated song coverage. Chart placements alone do not establish notability per WP:NSONG. The article still lacks substantive coverage in genuinely independent reliable sources. Veggiegalaxy (talk) 13:46, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
- Delete. The amount of notable information in this article could easily be summarized with a few words in the artist's main article. There's not enough significant coverage of the song in reliable sources to justify a separate article. Trumpetrep (talk) 14:48, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

- Based on the lack of more reliable sources, I say redirect this article to the album's article.

RIAA: No mention of song but since it was written in the article about it, the RIAA serves as a source for that statement.
Broadway World: (Not trivial) It reports the streaming numbers the song achieved after its release
Ultatop: (Not trivial) It reports the performance in Belgium (Tip).

- Comment: Both the article as well as the first comment here by Markus WikiEditor are likely AI-generated. This is a pattern across their articles; see for instance this article, which contains what is almost certainly a chatbot response in Portuguese. Gnomingstuff (talk) 06:18, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

- @Gnomingstuff All the articles I have seen on Wikipedia include the names of the reviewers, for example Madonna (album). I don't understand why this was labeled as AI-generated.

- As I told you here, I use it to improve some sentences, as I did here. I believe that in this way there should be no problem using ChatGPT or other tools. When you added the first tag on one of the articles, I thought you were saying that the entire article was AI-generated, also referring to possible hallucinated information and fictitious references, which did not happen in Sooner or Later or another article. The content was researched and the references are correct. I started writing in a more straightforward way, as in the Sooner or Later article, thus avoiding AI tags, but there was still an issue because, apparently, include the authors' names looks the article is "likely AI-generated".

- Gnomingstuff, I have been noticing that LLMs like to include the names of the reviewers, whereas most editors don't. WidgetKid Converse 06:44, 8 March 2026 (UTC)
- Redirect to Love (Aaron Carter EP). Not a notable song, and charts and certifications do not make something automatically notable. NMUSIC is pretty clear about this, actually. If there is not significant coverage in reliable sources (which there doesn't seem to be), then this should not have an article. RedShellMomentum 23:42, 8 March 2026 (UTC)
- The reviews are not notable for you? The release mention in the article of Sanook, and the others I listed too? The NMUSIC said that significant coverage doesn’t mean the song has to be the main topic of the article. Anyway, these rules are strange. Certifications and chart positions end up being disregarded, but if an alternative band that no one cares about gets three reviews, the article is accepted. Markus WikiEditor (talk) 00:05, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
- redirect to the album. Source 1 is the only one that really talks about the song. Source 19 is simply a directory listing. Most of the reviews given are about the album, not this song. The album would seem to have more notability. Oaktree b (talk) 15:59, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
- Redirect to Love (Aaron Carter EP) as the preferred WP:ATD option here; I concur with the analysis of the sources cited above as not meeting WP:SIGCOV. Alansohn (talk) 21:10, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

- Keep per WP:NSONG as it has charted. If sourcing is interpreted very liberally, one can argue that a few of the album reviews satisfy WP:100WORDS and that this is a GNG pass, that coverage of the song is confined to album reviews in itself is not a disqualifying factor. Finally, this page has a "Good Article" label, and I don't see how the deletion would improve the encyclopedia. Kelob2678 (talk) 19:55, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
- Saying how an article should not be deleted because it improves the encyclopedia is an argument to avoid in deletion discussions. Being a GA also does not mean immunity from deletion: GAs, and even FAs, have been deleted or redirected/merged in the past for various reasons. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 23:40, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
- The main policy-based argument is that it charted in South Korea, so it is reasonable to presume that there is some in-depth coverage in Korean; this presumption cannot be realistically rebutted, as there are no editors who are knowledgeable enough and have access to South Korean music media. Regarding WP:ATA, I checked the essay and, to my surprise, it mentions GA only in two instances, both contain the implicit assumption that GAs are presumed notable:
While comparing with other articles is not, in general, a convincing argument comparing with ... Good article ... makes a much more credible case.
andIf a user is disrupting the encyclopedia by ... continually nominating good articles for deletion.
The GAs I saw deleted are usually about fictional characters, they have no SNG and, in general, AfD is harsh toward in-universe descriptions. An example of a recent AfD similar to this is Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mindful (song), which was kept even though the page failed NSONG, not to mention GNG.

- Hello!
- Pezzi della Sera, as I'm sure you read in the article, is an album by Marco Castello, a musical artist that is becoming more and more important in Italy. I'll admit, he's not at a so high level of fame, but neither are many artists whose albums are listed in Wikipedia articles.
- Thanks for taking care of Wikipedia!
- Dre DrefromItaly (talk) 15:43, 10 February 2026 (UTC)
- @DrefromItaly: why not create an article for Marco Castello then? I see your contributions are related to albums of the artist but not the artist himself. It's usually best to first create an article for the artist, and then for items of their discography if warranted. Skyshiftertalk 02:34, 11 February 2026 (UTC)

- delete I don't see notability for this album, no charted singles, no critical reviews. The one source is more about the person than this album. The individual MIGHT be notable, this musical album isn't. Oaktree b (talk) 14:05, 25 February 2026 (UTC)
- Comment If there are concerns about the reliability of the reviews, there are reviews from Ondarock and Rockit (website). Both outlets have existed for more than two decades and have received some third-party notice. Kelob2678 (talk) 16:01, 25 February 2026 (UTC)
- Keep: I think @Kelob2678: should include the reviews he found in the article.--Markus WikiEditor (talk) 01:59, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
- Leaning Delete-finding multiple reviews like 43, 44, 45, 46, but most seems to be either customer reviews or actual reviews but does not demonstrate anything particularly notable like awards or achievements, leaving it here nevertheless for those more familiar with the genre. Redirect to the musician is not yet possible as no article yet has been made. Lorraine Crane (talk) 06:16, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
- @Lorraine Crane:, If reviews are present, why can this not be kept? There is no need for an album to win awards to have a Wikipedia page. Kelob2678 (talk) 08:38, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
- Keep, passes GNG per multiple bylined reviews linked above, such as those from Ondarock and Rockit. Side note, based on the relevant Italian Wikipedia page and a cursory search, the artist easily passes GNG even beyond reviews (, , , and so on). I'll probably create a page about him later. Cavarrone 10:09, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

Relisting comment: In the spirit of IAR and RELIST, the latter of which does note that discussions can be relistedfor a third (or further) time
(emphasis added), I'm relisting for a final time instead of closing as "no consensus". I think closure is still premature given that there has been no significant analysis of the arguement for GNG proposed by Kelob2678. Trumpetrep and Royiswariii: as those who commented before they could see the proposed sources, could we please have some analysis in order to find a concerte consensus, or a concrete lack thereof, and put this to bed for good?
