Delete, redirect and WP:SALT. This is a special edition of the album The Fame, and therefore does not warrant its own article as it fails WP:NALBUMS. All relevent infomation is already mention in the existing article, so why need for a new one? SALT due to frequent fanboy re-creation. Dale 14:00, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect and full-protect Re-releases and special editions do not receive articles. Given the chronic recreations, protection is necessary to prevent immediate undoing.—Kww(talk) 01:48, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect and Full-protect per Kww and Dale. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 05:23, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, redirect to section If this is simply a reissue of the existing album (enhanced or otherwise), then it should be a section within the main article. While some exceptional cases may warrant their own articles (e.g. Pet Sounds Sessions), this does not. The redirect will prove useful for searches and anyone who tries to recreate this material as well. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:00, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: We won't know how much it is a duplicate of the Fame until it comes out. We should have waited until the release to create this article and have this debate. Until then, Weak Keep Purplebackpack89 (talk) 18:42, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
