This soundtrack article neither establishes its notability nor has a corresponding artist article. Recommendation: Speedy delete per A9. Fleet Command (talk) 05:16, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification: Administrator Dlohcierekim has already rejected speedy deletion per A9 on the pretext of automatic inheritance of notability from Resident Evil. However, contrary to this assertion, WP:MUSIC does not mention that notability may be inherited from anything other than a composer or musician. Fleet Command (talk) 06:03, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or Merge. I would argue that either Resident Evil or CAPCOM would be considered the artist here as far as WP:MUSIC is concerned - both of which scream notability - but FleetCommand makes a good point. Perhaps that policy should be reviewed to specifically mention situations like this one? As per notability - I think that because the music is heavily featured in reviews of these particular games, it lends some extra weight to an officially released soundtrack. I would not be opposed to this information simply being merged into the article about the game specifically. Addionne (talk) 18:59, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- If that is so, Addionne, you have seven days to assert notability by providing citations. However, as for considering Resident Evil or CAPCOM as an artist, there is a void of policy support and much doubt of validity on my part. For the time being, the policy says that Resident Evil and CAPCOM may both be notable topics, but notability is not inherited. Fleet Command (talk) 20:20, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I'm not seeing significant coverage for this soundtrack; unless there is, it's not notable regardless of who is technically responsible for it. --Mkativerata (talk) 22:53, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
