Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of best-selling albums worldwide
per Fram and Bluesatellite, who have rebutted the nom's claims.  I don't remotely find the claim credible that best-selling albums as a topic has not been discussed by multiple reliable sources, and every entry in this list appears to be well sourced.  The fact that our list may combine entries from separate lists published by reliable sources is irrelevant, particularly given that |we know how to count and so can decide without violating  whether to place an album that sold 49 million albums above one that sold 45 million.  And that seems to be the nom's main complaint: that this list is compiled from multiple sources rather than copied from a single preexisting list.  This is (to put it gently) not a view held by many here; I've only seen it advanced by Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Inclusion criteria for Lists|a lone dissenter in a recent list-related RFC.  As for whether any albums have been omitted, add them if you can find a source that they qualify for the list.  The nom's  argument is simply without any merit as it applies to the issue of "encyclopedicness"; it's a ''style'' guideline, not an inclusion guideline, and in any event the precise language of the lede is arbitrary and can be rewritten if anyone else thinks it's a problem
