The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. Bear with me. The arguments for keeping are based the album existing, and actually being a legitimate release. This is based on the following: 1) Lincalinca having seen it in a shop (he later says he may have been mistaken). 2) A blog and a Yahoo! Questions reply (not reliable sources 3) Two Flickr images. The first image is actually from her DVD (Loose Live), and the second image is actually a single cover ("Te Busque"). Nobody has been able to provide a reliable source, and the album is not mentioned on her website. WP:V is non-negotiable. The article can be restored at a later date if reliable sources are forthcoming. I will be only to happy to do so, please contact me via my talk page or email. Neil ☎ 12:55, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Greatest Hits (Nelly Furtado album)

Greatest Hits (Nelly Furtado album) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Prod tag was removed, rationale was:

This album was never promoted by Nelly Furtado or her label. It is unlikely that a record label would release a greatest hits album after only three prior albums, and in such a limited market. No sources are referenced in this article and it reads more like an advertisement. Unless proof of this album's existence comes to light, it should be deleted, as should references to it on Furtado's biography.

According to the article itself, it was an Australian only release. Plus, I've seen the CD in stores myself. I don't think it's a remarkably notable release, but I think it's work a keep. --lincalinca 07:08, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. If we could make the keeping of obviously notable subjects such as this indisputable, there would be no reason to go through all of this, would there? digitalemotion 07:32, 2 November 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Digital Emotion (talk • contribs)
• Keep Based on Lincalinca's evidence, this is a no-brainer. I wouldn't personally buy the CD but its worth an article. THE KING 07:49, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment What evidence? Bobby1011 12:03, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
    • Pardon me for assuming good faith. He'd seen the CD in the stores, which means it exists. And if it exists, then it's notable because its a CD by a notable artist. The following link confirms my suspicions - that the CD does indeed exist. [1] THE KING 23:04, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Per above Carter | Talk to me 10:37, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. The existence of the album seems confirmable[2], and it is part of a noteworthy performer's discography. - Smerdis of Tlön 14:16, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Even if the CD exists, it is not described in any WP:RS - the above two links are a blog entry and a question about its existence at Yahoo Answers. It is not mentioned on Furtado's official website and it's unavailable at chaos.com. Hal peridol 11:45, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - Chaos.com won't list it because it's not an American release. Furtado's website also doesn't list any of her other works that aren't her studio albums, so that's not an exhaustive resource. That said, I wandered into sanity tonight before going to the cinemas, and couldn't find it, but they could have sold out, but to add to that, sanity.com.au and jbhifionline.com.au don't list it either. I'm now unsure. I may have seen anothr album or single by her with the same image on the cover, but a different title (I haven't paid a lot of attention to her since she started to suck). --lincalinca 12:49, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
    • The photo for the UK release can be found here - it is described as from the 'Say it Right' photoshoot. The main photo looks like this, but it is not attributed to anyone beyond the uploader. Hal peridol 13:39, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - It may not exist everywhere. But it exists. And that's been confirmed by several RS. The fact that (not one but) two album covers for it have been found must mean something. It needs a copyedit though. — H₂O —  01:26, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
  • I have to say that I am still skeptical - neither cover album image used has proper attribution (the main one is labelled as being from the Loose Live DVD, while the second one has an image identical to the "Te Busque" single [3],Warner Music Australasia has no record of it, and the reliable sources consist of a blog and Yahoo Answers (where the answer given is that it is unlikely to exist).

    • [4] is pretty convincing to me. THE KING 04:45, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Was not able to find a copy for sale anywhere on the internets. If it does in fact exist, it looks to have been released by "Star Mark", a label that appears to license music from other labels, like Pickwick used to in the old days (which would explain the crappy typography in the artwork). Unless it can be shown in a reliable source (and I wouldn't consider a lo-res photo (or hi-res for that matter) reliable), it fails WP:V. Precious Roy 16:17, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
