the album fails the WP:NALBUM the 2 sources cited are interviews that mention the album in passing as being a future album. Domdeparis (talk) 18:34, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
- Keep per GNG: Allmusic, Spin, Sputnik, Billboard (one of the songs on the album charted), Rolling Stone, Popjustice, HuffPost (re: 55.5 EP), etc. Yes, the article needs sourcing improvements, but notability is not the issue here. ---Another Believer (Talk) 18:41, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
- Additional comment: I still believe the album deserves a standalone article, but the current version has tons of unsourced material. I would be fine with stripping this article down to its bare bones, so keeping the stub for future expansion. There are several articles about songs on the album, which should probably be redirected to the album article. ---Another Believer (Talk) 18:45, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
- Comment It's a shame that the author of the page couldn't be bothered to source his material. He has created lots of pages sourced only to itunes for songs from this album in which he makes no claims to notability not even bothering to mention the charts that they were in (obviously that is an indication that the song might be notable but not enough to guarantee it). I agree for the redirects though. Domdeparis (talk) 19:13, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

- Keep - per Another Believer's sources. I'll warn the article creator to stop making such sloppy articles though. Sergecross73 msg me 16:15, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
