Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dexter's Laboratory: The Musical Time Machine
As the editor who authored the final quotation from the nominator's rationale citing the previous bundled AfD, I stand by my reasoning as to why the pages included in the original AfD, especially this one, which I have been involved in editing, should not be deleted outright. The article in question's subject is a real piece of merchandise, a soundtrack album for an animated television show with an existing WP article. The album's title could be used as a search term for either an article about the album itself, a list of spin-off media, or a redirect to the main series page. In the event that this page is deleted without redirect, the most appropriate article that it could have redirected to, being Dexter's Laboratory, would not be the first page a user sees when searching for the album name, and all previous revisions and article histories would be gone, which would be a nonconstructive move in the event that this article meets the notability standards ''in the nominator's perspective'' at a later date. (For the record, I do not agree that the article's subject does not meet WP's notability standards.) On a related note, I take issue with the nominator's assertion that "most of these soundtracks never do" hold up to notability standards because the nominator did not back up the claim with quantifiable figures or any other data. The nominator's reasoning about the article's subject not being verifiable at a later date is not supported by the reference to the  policy, which deals with predictions, original research, rumors, unverified claims, speculation, data extrapolation, and future planned or expected events, as the article nominated is about a soundtrack album released two decades ago. Additionally, the nominator has written this AfD's reasoning in a passive-aggressive tone, using words and phrases such as "ignorant", "tried to convince me", "were somehow", and "lousy". It is my opinion based on the nominator's tone that this AfD was made in bad faith, and I cannot support that type of argument
