Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nobody's Perfect (Bo Johnson album

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 all. The artist wasn't even close to notability (has been speedied three times) and the deleted article makes it plain how NN these songs/albums are. ELIMINATORJR ^TALK 21:37, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nobody's Perfect (Bo Johnson album

Nobody's Perfect (Bo Johnson album (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable, unreleased album. The artist, Bo Johnson, was speedily deleted as non-notable, but albums and songs aren't speedily deletable like people (and the articles aren't quite, IMHO, blatant advertising). However, they cite no sources and contain a lot of speculative information, so they fail WP:MUSIC's notability guidelines. The nominator strongly favors deleting all of this article and the articles listed below. —C.Fred (talk) 16:36, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

This nomination also includes the following article:

Come Clean (Bo Johnson song) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

If consensus is to delete, the closing admin should also delete the article-turned-redirect:

Because of You (Bo Johnson song) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

• Strong delete all. If the singer isn't notable, then neither are the songs or album. That should be a speedy candidate for song/album articles in my opinion. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 16:40, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Unfortunately, songs can't be speedied under A7. The only avenues to speedy it right now would be that it's shameless promotion/advertising (G11) or that the poster was creating the articles to deliberately disrupt (vandalize) Wikipedia (G3). I'm assuming good faith here, though I did leave a message on the OP's talk page requesting sources, since the volume of articles created at once was almost disruptive. —C.Fred (talk) 16:46, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

• I meant that in general, "song/album by nn, deleted artist" should be a speedy candidate. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 16:55, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, that's for discussion at that policy page. I think the feeling there is generally against adding new criteria. I'm not sure of the resolution of the question of the relative notability of the artist and the work in general--possibly an otherwise non-notable artist might have one good album.DGG (talk) 18:23, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
