The result was delete. - Mailer Diablo 17:50, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Notability - the only sources these soundtracks have are such gaming sites as ign, gamespot, teamxbox etc. who report on many such aspects of games as and when they are announced by the publisher. This does not comprise significant coverage as each game's soundtrack is not discussed in any meaningful way, just listed, somtimes along with a bit of press-release blurb.
WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of information. Each game's soundtrack has no meaningful connection to the others in its series and listing them together serves no real purpose.
WP:NOT#DIRECTORY - Notable elements of soundtracks should be written about (not listed) in each game's article.
WP:WEIGHT - the soundtracks have little to no impact on the games themselves, and their importance is being highly overstated by giving them seperate articles. Again, the most notable elements of each soundtack should be mentioned on the pages of the games in question.
Guidelines for video game articles - "[articles should not contain] an excessive amount of non-encyclopedic trivia". Simply being true and verifyable is no reason for inclusion. If necessary, these lists should be transferred to a suitable gaming wiki - they can always be linked to from the game articles.
Also per general WP:CVG concensus that video game lists have to demonstrate a very good reason for existing, and these simply don't. Miremare 13:09, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom - if the soundtrack has notable artists that are cited in secondary sources, a prose statement can be added to the individual articles to describe the type of music in the game (I note this should be the case for SSX Blur), but otherwise it's all BG music and non-notable for an article. --MASEM 13:29, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, with a caveat: Most of these sound tracks are indeed non-notable and should be deleted as such, however I'd like care to be taken that this isn't considered automatically precidential in the case of truely notable sound tracks or ones compiled by notable artists that would otherwise meet WP:MUSIC.129.89.68.218 20:32, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Why the hell would you delete this? What's wrong with it being here? The soundtrack is not listed anywhere in the game so why not have it here? Idiotic. FogDevil 21:36, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
commentWith all due respect FogDevil, that itself is a sort of argument for deletion (though a weak one). In general Wikipedia policy forbids Original Research. The concerns here are not about the usefulness or veracity of the list, but rather the notability of the subject matter. In the absence of third-party material on the soundtrack, all that can be said about it is "this is the soundtrack to this game" which is a type of the more generally deleted article group where all that can be said is "X is a Y," and a list of attributes.

Transwiki All Juiced tracks are now transwikied to the Encyclopedia Gamia they can be found under the soundtrack link on the infobox of the games--Cs california 07:14, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Now I finished all SSX tracks --Cs california 07:22, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That's cool that you did that but how is that good to a normal Wikipedia user like me? I don't even know what that this.FogDevil 14:07, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It is a gaming wiki that is right here so the articles can be found there still --Cs california 07:32, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and recreate in my userspace for merging into relevant articles. Redirect and preserve history would be preferred to prevent GFDL issues and usersubpage clutter. User:Krator (tc) 00:30, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Why do you want this deleted? Is it hurting you by being here? I don't want to be one of those internet jerks who just criticizes people, but find something better to do than find articles to delete...FogDevil 23:03, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
