The problem is that it's not enough to prove that an album exists - it also has to meet Wikipedia's criteria for notability, which can be found here...

"All articles on albums, singles or songs must meet the basic criteria at the notability guidelines, with significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." - the article provided no independent coverage, references, sources or information which indicated any notability.

"Album articles with little more than a track listing may be more appropriately merged into the artist's main article or discography article, space permitting." - this implies a redirect to the artists article (or discography), merging any relevant content (but there was none to merge).

I can appreciate your possible frustraction, but please also rememeber editors can only judge an article on what it looks like when they see it, and can't assume that it may improve and should therefore remain unchallenged. if you're intent on improving the article, then you should use the {{underconstruction}}tag to indicate it isn't finished yet. The existence or non-existence of similar articles doesn't make any difference - see here - this one album was tagged because I happened to come across it - if I'd come across the other albums, I may have redirected them as well if I thought it appropriate.

As a gesture of good faith, I'll put your article back, and tag it correctly, but I still reserve the right to redirect it again if it hasn't been improved in a few days. CultureDrone (talk) 15:32, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

March 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page BM (Monika 2008) has been reverted.

Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): \byoutube\.com (links: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qd8tmz8km6e). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. Video links are also strongly deprecated by our guidelines for external links, partly because they're useless to people with slow internet connections.

If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.
