I would like to nominate this article for deletion because The Singles 1999–2006 is not a very notable release: It has not appeared on any country's national music chart, it has not been certified gold or higher in at least one country and it has not won or been nominated for a major music award. Additionally, if you look Coldplay discography, you will notice details about this boxset can already be found there. GustavoCza (talk • contribs) 01:55, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - Per WP:NALBUM, the album does not have to satisfy all the requirements such as charting and certifications. If it received reviews and other reliable media coverage, that can suffice. This album received a profile in NME (currently footnote #3). The article relies on a couple of old hard copy reviews that I cannot verify (and Q Magazine is out of business), but if anyone can verify those, then this article might be eligible for keeping. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:50, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• The NME review is https://www.nme.com/reviews/reviews-coldplay-8352-333269; it looks like Q magazine didn't publish its reviews online but https://web.archive.org/web/20070429213329/http://www.q4music.com/nav?page=q4music.about.currentissue mentions that there was a review.

• Keep - (I already commented above.) The nominator is working to clean up a lot of obscure quickie Coldplay items, and that is okay but this one was a legitimate wide-market release that attracted some pro reviews. Thanks to Peter James above for tracking down some evidence. I think this article needs to be cleaned up and expanded with prose from the pro reviewers, but it qualifies as a viable stub. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:49, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  If we keep this article (which I'm obviously not very keen on), I would like to remove it from the chronology or at least making a separate one for the studio albums, all of these side-relases, which as you noted, are "obscure quickie items" make the current chronology harder to navigate. GustavoCza (talk • contribs) 16:56, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's valid, and cleaning up the chronology is something you could do as a general editing effort, regardless of whether any of the articles in question are kept or deleted. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 19:17, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just cleaned up the chronology today. I would like to withdrawn my nomination, is it possible? GustavoCza (talk • contribs) 20:26, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Since you have announced that you're withdrawing the nomination, anybody could wrap this up with a non-admin close. I probably shouldn't because I'm an involved voter. If that doesn't happen or if anyone else wants to vote/comment, an Admin will make it official on around July 15 or so. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:49, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:SNOW. (non-admin closure) GustavoCza (talk • contribs) 19:29, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
