[edit] Circular_Album

This really seems to be a neologism, as a google test for "circular album" returns very few results, all of which are in the context of describing an album, and not as a widespread or notable concept. Therefore, this article should be deleted. Static3d 06:08, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

• Merge all but the name with Music loop as it could add interest there as a distinct section. Alf 12:34, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

• Comment I like the article, and can think of a few more albums to list. If it must be moved, It would probably fit better under Song cycle, as it already has a mention of the circular album. Dr Ellipso 14:49, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

• Comment The only link to the Circular_Album page on Wikipedia is, in fact, on the Song cycle page. However, the original author of the Circular Album page placed it there, and it was a simple replacement of the words "song cycle" in the final paragraph and rendered nearly all text after the link incorrect. To be specific, the paragraph talks about song cycles in popular music, then the inserted text reads "Other circular albums in popular music include: ..." It suddenly jumps to an unrelated (an incorrect) concept. Albums like this really do exist, and info about them could be added to the song cycle page, possibly by saying something like "certain albums take the concept of a song cycle even further, by allowing seamless looping of the entire album." Obviously, the term "circular album" shouldn't appear anywhere. Static3d 02:56, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Neologism. Unless this is already a named concept in music, which it doesn't appear to be, then naming it and categorizing albums as "circular" albums is original research. android79 16:38, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Neologism. Flowerparty ^talk 19:34, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: the only available evidence is that this is a neologism as the nominator suggests. -Splash 22:17, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep: As creator of the article, I feel I should have a say. I created it with the best intentions, linked a few albums I considered circular, and hoped other users would link other albums, as well as linking this article in the album's article. I never got around to it, and I was intimidated by adding unnessesary edits to constantly watched articles like The Wall. However, I do think it's worth noting and recording the names of albums where the beginning and endings "match up" so to speak, wheather in the album's article or in it's own article. I reluctantly approve of merging this article with music loop or song cycle, to preserve the information written. --Insomniak 18:13, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
