To quote my PROD which was just removed: "Purpose redundant to Category:Tribute albums and its long list of subcats." The removing editor did make a fair point that there is date info on here which wouldn't be replicated by a category page, but for linked entries that info should already be in their respective articles anyway so it shouldn't be a huge loss. As for unlinked entries, surely redirecting those to an appropriate discography page/section would take care of that as well. And if there isn't an appropriate target for a handful, and they aren't notable enough for their own articles, then they probably aren't notable enough for placement on this list anyway. I think this whole page can be safely dumped without any huge loss. I wouldn't even consider the release dates to be vital enough to worry about losing, though maybe that's just me.

Keep. WP:NOTDUPE, list is informational, being broken down by tributee, and in large part navigational, satisfying the purpose criterion of NLIST. —siro χ o 03:49, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - WP:LISTCRITERIA No sourcing whatsoever. No lead paragraph to explain the list. While this might be interesting to fans of that genre of music, it's just some random and unexplained list to everyone else. For all we know, this could just be a list somebody compiled from their personal collection. Or it could have been copied entirely from elsewhere. More is needed to explain this. — Maile (talk) 16:14, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. I think this is actually one of those cases where there's a reasonable navigational aid here, and it's pretty well-defined and not overly-broad or anything. I do worry about the lack of sourcing though, and that there seems to be a mismatch with articles we have and don't have. Ie, kill the entries that don't have articles, and shore up the completeness for those that do. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 17:37, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep; the lead could use expansion, but the list is otherwise fine. Darling ☔ (talk · contribs) 22:59, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn: This is clearly getting kept so why wait for the inevitable. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 13:12, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
