This does not meet notability requirements of WP:NALBUMS: it was a limited edition promotional album from 1990, with short clips (mostly 30 to 60 seconds) of interviews to play on the radio. It barely receives an entry in group biographies/discographies; there is nothing written about it, so its WP article will not be more than a track and personnel listing (its AllMusic article only has a track listing).[1] The FL Led Zeppelin discography doesn't include it. It's been tagged unsourced since 12/2009 and was created and mostly edited by since banned sockpuppets. Ojorojo (talk) 16:45, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I have obsessive geek knowledge of Led Zep history, and can say with confidence that this record is not notable as a stand-alone item, and is just a minor promotional curiosity. The nominator is correct on how it never received coverage as an album in its own right. It is already mentioned at the associated Led Zeppelin Boxed Set and that is enough. Even for such a well-known band, items like this still have to get past the WP:EXIST standard. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 17:54, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This began as a redirect to Led Zeppelin Boxed Set, but was reverted. ~~Maybe a sentence or two could be added to that article and have this redirect there.~~[see my comment below] Since discographies by definition are "a descriptive catalog of musical recordings", an interview album doesn't fit there. —Ojorojo (talk) 18:42, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That seems like a good plan to me, but if a redirect was reverted before then it will probably happen again. If "redirect" is the outcome of this discussion, admins should do the WP:SALT thing to prevent more reversions. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 19:06, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted the redirect because it was pointing to the wrong album, Profiled was part of the Led Zeppelin Remasters release. Also, the redirect resulted in the Led Zeppelin Boxed Set redirecting back to itself (in the chronology section). So, I would ask, if you do delete or re-direct this page, please fix the chronology links on the albums that precede it and follow it. Robman94 (talk) 03:51, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note that a redirect can be pointed somewhere else without reverting it. The redirection instruction page can be tough to find, but once you find it, it can be edited like anything else. Here is a current example: [2] ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 13:29, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – Both the Led Zeppelin Boxed Set and Remastered articles indicate that Profiled was first released on Boxed Set. However, since the references are unclear, it is not verifiable which album it was released with. So the article is best just deleted and then it may be unlinked in both articles and the chronologies. —Ojorojo (talk) 15:49, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
