List of Phish tribute albums[edit]

Non-notable albums by non-notable musicians. Corvus cornix 04:10, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This page is a list of tribute albums for one of the largest touring acts of the last two decades. That satisfies notability. — Music Maker 04:33, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Jimmy Buffett, The Wailers, and Dave Matthews are NOT non-notables. RunLikeAnAntelope 04:24, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. You are correct, but is it possible there is a better way to convey this information. While I haven't quite made my mind up yet on this, I do feel that it borders on absurd to have a list of Phish tribute albums. Are we next going to make a list of tribute albums to Phish tribute bands? At some point information is better to implement by attaching it to pre-existing articles rather than by creating new ones, I think that this may be one of those cases.

Response I have to say that the line would be drawn before the list of tribute bands of tribute bands (this isn't a tribute band, it's a tribute album -- a little different). This is important information, relevant to a GA. It doesn't belong in, say, Phish discography, because it isn't Phish discography. Furthermore, as it was just too much information, the main Phish article doesn't even have a complete discography on it. This list is the most logical place for this information. (This response should also be considered for the other five articles so nominated.) — Music Maker 08:23, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Okay, I find that line of reasoning acceptable. I just worry that we are lowering the bar every day on what is deemed notable. Trusilver 19:18, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge or Redirect to Phish. If the fact that Phish tributes have been made is itself notable, there's no reason why this can't be mentioned in the Phish main article. The vast majority of content in this article is self-redundant anyway. --Nonstopdrivel 05:54, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Phish. Neither the list or the individual albums are notable enough to stand alone. Realkyhick 07:55, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The albums are so different from one another in conctent and genre, plus there are more than just a couple. Six widely distributred albums is enough to warrant individual pages. Also, I noticed the All Music Guide has entries and reviews for each, not just listings, which to me constitutes notability in the music world. Steph11 12:36, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - as per ↑. Phish is not the only band inspired to make albums. They were also seen on the SNL segment Jarrett's Room.--Edtropolis 13:59, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Phish per Nonstopdrivel. Carlossuarez46 21:38, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge or Keep, although Phish looks quite notable even If I haven't heard of them. --JForget 00:16, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- There is no question about the notability of Phish, the question is about the notability of the tribute albums. Corvus cornix 17:58, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
