Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Girls (Yung Baby Tate 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 keep. There is consensus to keep this article in some form (either as an article about the album, or about the rapper, or both). WP:A9 does not apply because the fact that the album received WP:SIGCOV is itself a credible claim of significance. (non-admin closure) feminist (talk) 02:16, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This album got one review from Pitchfork (already cited) but I can find nothing else in reliable sources and the article is otherwise dependent on social media announcements and basic retail listings. Also, This album could be eligible for speedy deletion per WP:A9 because there is no article on the rapper, but maybe the album's importance is boosted by the reviews it has received. There is very little to find about the rapper besides tidbits in the reviews and this: [1]. There might be enough for a stub article about her, but that should come before an article for this album. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 14:43, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I have altered my nomination to reflect the existence of various reviews as noted by Aoba47 below. I missed most of those in my WP:BEFORE search, perhaps due to the album's generic title. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 00:13, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This XXL source, 1, briefly mentions the album. HotNewHipHop published an article, 2, about the album. The Fader, Paper, and BroadwayWorld also put out articles about specific songs from the album, 3 4 5. Genius published an article about the album's lyrics, 6, Pitchfork also put out a second article about one of the album's songs, 7, and NPR has done a review for the album, 8. A majority of the articles that I have found focus on songs from the album, but I have also located a few sources that discuss the album. I agree that an article about the rapper would be the ideal starting point, but there does appear to be coverage on this album. I am leaning keep, but I am not completely certain so I am not casting a vote either way. Here are some additional sources. I broke down some of them above to avoid just putting put a list of links without any context: 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16. Aoba47 (talk) 20:23, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the update. The album's title is very generic so it is understandable how a before search may have missed these sources. That is one of the most frustrating parts about working on an article about a generically named subject matter lol. Aoba47 (talk) 19:31, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The sources found by Aoba47 seem sufficient to me. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 05:12, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - given the sources that I have located and listed above, I feel that WP:GNG has been fulfilled here. Aoba47 (talk) 21:23, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have no dispute with this, but we may need a Yung Baby Tate article to go with the album, because someone may still call for deletion under WP:A9, rightly or wrongly. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 14:02, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with that. Aoba47 (talk) 20:48, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
