  • Keep I am the creator of this page. Creating it was a lot of work and the reason I did this was because I wanted to improve Wikipedia. Viktor Lazlo is a very well-known singer throughout Europe, especially in Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, etc. The album has spent eight weeks on the Dutch album charts and was still very successful. Lazlo was on television many times performing songs from this album, which were co-written by famous songwriters. This definitely is NOT an unknown musical recording as Lazlo was signed to Polydor records for ten years because of her stardom.

The citation you used does not say anything about the Dutch album charts. In fact, the song is not listed in "the Best of" section, nor does it show up when you click the "Charts" link. Yet this is the citation you put to substantiate the Dutch Album Charts claim. Ormr2014 | Talk  13:26, 16 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It did show the album charts, when you had clicked on CHARTS. But I changed the link to a direct page now, so it should show up now. Why are you so keen on deleting an article that someone else has created putting a lot of time into it? Viktor Lazlo is a well-known singer and this was a successful album and thus it enhances Wikipedia by having detailed information on this release. Sunpoint (talk) 04:27, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sunpoint I didn't single out your article for deletion because I was "so keen on deleting an article that someone else has created putting a lot of time into it". I singled it out because the only reference you gave did not substantiate your notability claim (for the song, not the singer) and searching for information on Google didn't yield much.
The fact is, many people create articles about non-notable songs, people, books, etc. Sometimes a singer will be notable but a particular song they sang isn't. It happens a lot and people often assume that since the artist is notable the song is too. When the article gets deleted, they don't understand why. It's not a matter of harassment or editors being jerks, it's just a matter of safeguarding the encyclopedia from inappropriate content being added.
In any event, the new link you added to the charts section clearly shows the song peaking at 71 in the Dutch Charts, which is why I'm withdrawing my nomination. Ormr2014 | Talk  19:59, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
