The Essential Beatles

Non-notable Beatles compilation. There are dozens of one-off compilations released in foreign markets and nothing shows that this one is particularly special or has critical commentary. PROD was denied. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 09:58, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge / redirect to The Beatles discography#Compilation albums. To say the band are notable is a bit more than just an understatement, and even obscure compilations can be notable, but only if they appear in multiple, independent, reliable sources - which this one doesn't. If it's non-notable Beatles albums you're after, try The Beatles vs the Third Reich instead. --Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 10:18, 2 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
