Although Chris Crocker is certainly notable as an internet celebrity, his discography has had no coverage in WP:RS sources - or at least none that has been cited on Wikipedia. All of the citations on the article are to first-party statements, fundraising attempts, and sales pages that do not appear to have any appropriate sources available. I do not believe that this article meets WP:GNG.Feather Jonah (talk) 03:15, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge to Chris Crocker. This list is not very long and there's plenty of room at the bottom of his main article. Steve Dufour (talk) 03:25, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Most of the (entirely uncited) content was already on the main Chris Crocker article, which I removed due to lack of proper sourcing/demonstration of notability. Feather Jonah (talk) 03:33, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- A fact about a person included in the article on that person, for instance the title of a record (or whatever), does not have to be itself notable or sourced to secondary sources. Steve Dufour (talk) 03:39, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- It was to the point that every minor detail on the subject's life was being reported in the article - I along with a few other editors attempted to clean up the social network citations. Although some mention of his music career is certainly important, I feel there is a serious case of undue weight at hand. Feather Jonah (talk) 03:43, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Merge to Chris Crocker. This information is relevant to that article, it doesn't have to be separately 'notable', just verifiable. --Michig (talk) 07:57, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Thanks for the input. Are the current citations actually okay though (first party statements including vague announcement tweets, sales links which could be construed as promotional)? Feather Jonah (talk) 08:39, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge to Chris Crocker - article isn't notable to stand on its own, but content can be mentioned on artist's page with proper citations. NYSMtalk page 16:17, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
