[edit] No Mercy, No Fear

No Mercy, No Fear (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Fails WP:MUSIC#Albums. The mixtape is not covered by in-depth sources and has no potential to expand. Even if it was notable, all the relevant info is already mentioned in 50 Cent. The infobox review is merely 1 sentence long and is hardly enough to justify an article. I'm nominating 50 Cent Is the Future for the same reason. Spellcast 00:01, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

  • I don't know, I'm really leaning towards Keep on this. 50 Cent is one of the biggest names in music right now. I know that notability isn't really inherited, but I think we need to use common sense here. GlassCobra 23:22, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
I see your point. I think your main concern is that useful information could be lost if deleted, but that's not the case. All the info in No Mercy, No Fear is already mentioned in 50 Cent. And there's even more info about 50 Cent Is the Future on the main page than there is in the mixtape article. So no info would be lost if they were deleted. The only "new" thing these pages have is a track list. And a track list is not needed to understand the effect these mixtapes had. Spellcast 03:24, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
What about the link to the page for the single? It's in the 50 Cent template, but isn't that sort of disrupting the traditional album-to-single flow? (Sorry if that made no sense.) GlassCobra 03:52, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
The mixtapes haven't been in the template for the past month. No Mercy, No Fear had only one single, "Wanksta", which was put on the album Get Rich or Die Tryin'. And 50 Cent Is the Future doesn't have any singles. So there's no "flowing disruption" here :) Spellcast 04:30, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Alright, fair enough. I was unaware that Wanksta made it to "Get Rich or Die Tryin'." Go ahead and delete it then, as long as the important info is in the 50 Cent article. GlassCobra 04:57, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge and Redirect Not a notable mixtape by itself. i said 01:19, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
All the relevant info is already merged in 50 Cent and in the discography. Spellcast 03:24, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
I suppose I really should stop using Merge and Redirect as one all the time. Just redirect then. i said 03:46, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
