[edit] XXL Magazine's XXL Albums

XXL Magazine's XXL Albums (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Delete, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. This appears to be a list of albums a particular magazine gave a particular rating; Wikipedia should not be a database for all critical reviews of everything (because where do you stop?). This posting was previously speedy deleted as a copyvio, but while I think the cover gallery fails to qualify as fair use here, I don't think the list in this article is itself a copyright infringement; the magazine didn't make the list (as far as I know), it instead made a series of choices that can simply be documented in list form. This list is akin more to a list of films Roger Ebert gave thumbs up, rather than Roger Ebert's Top Ten best films of 2006. Anyway, we should delete it based on the topic to give it finality.

I have also added to this AFD XXL List of Reviewed Albums, the intended parent for the above, which looks like it is to be just a list of every album ever reviewed by XXL. At a minimum, the separate list of albums rated "XXL" (it's the highest rating as well as the magazine title) should be merged back there, but both should be deleted.

• Delete, just a list of albums without actual content. Wikipedia is not a list repository. JIP | Talk 06:42, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete could cascade into an unmaintainable list. Bubba HoTep 12:17, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. FirefoxMan 17:46, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
• Do Not Delete There doesn't seem any discussion about deleting a similar list of ratings from The Source magazineList of The Source-rated albums. If one is acceptable so should the other. User:BryanCUFF 18:55, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
