Dangerous - The Remix Collection[edit]

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

This limited-edition album is not notable per WP:NALBUMS. It does not receive significant independent coverage in reliable sources. Pyrrhus16 16:58, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I searched for "dangerous - the remix collection" and got 234,000 hits on google. I'm not a jackson fan, but anything that is an official jackson release by sony (epic is part of sony) is pretty much notable. I think the articles authors should hunt down and provide additional information, such as albums sold. --Brunk500 (talk) 18:42, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note that Google hits are not an assertion of notability. An article must receive significant independent coverage in reliable sources in order to be included on Wikipedia. I see no reliable sources on this album - only links to fansites, ecommerce sites, and file-sharing/download sites. Pyrrhus16 18:51, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Multipe sites i checked confirm this album sold 22,000 copies in japan and reached 33 on the japanese charts. Couldnt find any really meaty coverage in english, but if anyone here knows japanese i think they could easily find some good information. Also i should add- deleting this because of some difficulty finding internet sources in english i think is evidence of recentism and lack of global scope- what i mean is, if an album was right now in the US charts at number 33, this wouldnt be a debate + internet write-ups would be plentiful(this album came out well before the internet became popular). With some work (by someone fluent in japanese) i think heaps of coverage could be found in japanese music magazines from around the time of the release. --Brunk500 (talk) 06:15, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Per WP:NALBUMS, all album articles must also meet WP:GNG. The only coverage for this album appears to be the tiny Allmusic overview. That's not quite enough in my view, but I can easily switch to keep if another source or two is presented. Gongshow ^Talk 19:45, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep. I'm not that much of a Michael Jackson fan, but — it's Michael Jackson, and on his main label, and not a "greatest hits", and peaked at #33 on the Oricon chart in Japan. I suspect someone is going to have to dig into Japanese to find sources. The collection of remixers on this album seems noteworthy also: for what it's worth, Moby certainly became generally famous on his own later; several of them were already separately famous in the DJ scene. Also, if it doesn't survive, should it be merged into Dangerous (album)? --Closeapple (talk) 22:33, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A top 40 charting album in Japan from an Icon. Worth an article. JFlash54 (talk) 01:47, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
