Unreferenced and not much more than a track listing. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:16, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The album was one of the Top 10 Selling Mandarin Albums of 2009 in Hong Kong (see article and the added ref), and the Chinese article lists 4 additional awards. On a side note, I would encourage the nominator to read WP:MUST and WP:NOREFS: the arguments listed in the nom (unreferenced and too short, i.e. "article needs to be improved") do not, by themselves, justify a deletion. Finally WP:NALBUMS states "Album articles with little more than a track listing may be more appropriately merged into the artist's main article or discography article, space permitting." At the very least, the content of this article should be merged, but not deleted. Olivier (talk) 09:35, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep. Criteria in nomination appear invalid.Becky Sayles (talk) 23:30, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's not invalid. It needs references, but being without references is no reason to delete. However, WP:NMUSIC states that an article that's noting more than a track listing can be deleted. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:58, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I read "merged", not "deleted" on WP:NMUSIC. Or am I wrong? Olivier (talk) 19:09, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if you're wrong. It could be merged, but definitely not kept. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:25, 6 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. "Very Busy" is not mentioned in the single reference - "A TIME FOR US" is. That said, to avoid systematic bias based on his popularity as a Cantonese singer, I would lean towards a merge with Joey Yung. Philg88 ^♦talk 09:17, 6 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment "Very Busy" is in fact mentioned in the single reference, under the name "Hen Wang" (I know it should be "hen mang"...) under "List of Ten Best Sales Releases, Mandarin (Order in Chinese Stroke Counts)". Looking at the Chinese version of the source [1] confirms that it is indeed the "Very Busy" album. Olivier (talk) 15:41, 7 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Fair point, Olivier, I missed the 很忙 connection, my bad. Philg88 ^♦talk 08:58, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
