'Tis the Season (Vince Gill and Olivia Newton-John album)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Previously deleted for lacking sources. Sources have been added (which is why I withdrew a G4), but they are a book that trivially mentions the album, a Discogs placeholder, a reprint of the previous draft of the Wikipedia article, and a press release. None of these meet WP:RS, and there is no assertation of notability. The album didn't chart, and sales are unknown, so "other albums in this era went platinum" is meaningless. I could find no reviews or other significant coverage. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 14:45, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

FFS. Delete this crap. It's a Hallmark album of absolutely no significance. Guy (Help!) 15:03, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Gold album, keep @JzG: it's an original album which sold half a million to a million copies, that's more than most charting albums, so on what basis is an album commissioned by Hallmark crap? These are major artists commissioned to do new albums which go Gold and Platinum, what makes them crap? In ictu oculi (talk) 17:47, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It's assumed this was a gold recording. No indication this one did as no sales numbers are available. It simply fails WP:NALBUM. Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:25, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. Like the TC stated, the references provided just don't cut it as reliable sources. Likewise, until there are actual sources showing the sales numbers, the claims that it went Gold are mere assumptions that can not be used to establish notability. 64.183.45.226 (talk) 18:50, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Albums and songs-related deletion discussions. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:48, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per above. Very poor sourcing. Karst (talk) 22:40, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep However much it did or didn't sell, it's a collaborative album of new recordings by two very significant artists. I could find hundreds of articles on Wikipedia about less notable albums. If it needs better sources, find better sources. Personally, just being able to access the track listings of albums like this is a very useful aspect of Wikipedia. Please keep.

Those are arguments for deletion - see WP:NOTINHERITED, WP:OTHERSTUFF, WP:BURDEN, WP:USEFUL respectively. Widefox; talk 09:41, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - this sentence alone: "Exact sales for this album were not made available by Hallmark but other albums in the series in the early 2000s typically went Platinum"--Jennica✿ / ^talk 06:11, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete we require WP:V, just fails NALBUM. Widefox; talk 09:41, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Why the argument? It's an album by two significant and popular artists of their time. All it should need to have is the title, artists, and the list to songs to be relevant and useful enough to be listed in Wikipedia. To me, it's a keeper. Southcoaster (talk) 13:04 23 December 2016 (UTC)
