Tags on an album that charted

Hello @Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars:, I hope you're doing well. I don't see any reason to add a tag like the one you included to this article. It's very well written, includes illustrations, and the content is properly referenced, including charts. I would like to remind you that in the 1980s, there wasn't a dedicated chart for Latin albums that cover all the country yet. Spanish-language records appeared in five different charts: Florida, California, Texas, New York, and Puerto Rico (which is a separate country, though this is debated).

In this case, I believe we can apply the principle from Wikipedia:Reliable sources#Context matters, which makes sense to me. The album is from an older era, so it's not easy to find much information about it online. It requires research in physical archives of magazines and newspapers or on websites that archive such materials, which are often behind paywalls, etc. Tags like these can discourage those who want to help build or start an article.

As an example, I point to the article on Madonna's album Like a Virgin & Other Big Hits!. Despite it being an obscure album with almost no online presence, it still has an article because it appeared in some charts, and it even became a "good article". For an older album like "Adios Miguel," I was able to find significant points, like the chart data and production context.

In any case, I hope we can come to an agreement on this. Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Markus WikiEditor (talk) 00:59, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
