Article in its entirety: "Fan Soundtracks (FSTs) are fan created track listings/song mixes for a particular show/book/movie/character/etc. Often the 10 to 20 tracks feature a range of artists. Most FSTs have some sort of central theme that all the songs within them help to convey." Unencyclopedic, unsourced and non-notable, not to mention most likely original research. I'm not saying that the concept doesn't exist, because I know it does, but I don't think it's significant, and most importantly I don't think that this article can be written without resorting to OR. -- Captain Disdain 02:02, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per my own nomination. -- Captain Disdain 02:02, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. Sounds a lot like a mix tape to me. Fan1967 02:08, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Very weak keep This article is pretty lame but, given time, someone may be able to improve it. The Fan-track and Fan-soundtrack fad seems to be somewhat different from mere mix tapes but you'd never be able to tell from this article. Ande B. 03:30, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep Googling this term returns a lot of results for the soundtrack to the movies "The Fan" and "Swim Fan," but there are scattered results indicating that this is a real phenomenon. The article needs to be sourced, expanded, explain its importance, and generally be improved, but I think it's a valid topic. --Hyperbole 08:02, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete, NN. I get 789 hits for "Fan Soundtrack", but only 287 for "Fan Soundtrack" FST. Apparently the home page is a LiveJournal page. [1] -- ReyBrujo 00:19, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Have heard of this in various fan communities before, generally in the same venues as fan-subs/dubs and AMVs. Needs major expansion. - CNichols 17:21, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
