Mindless Self-Indulgence[edit]
- Mindless Self-Indulgence (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
Non-notable EP released in a limited edition of 500 (!) by someone who later went on to start a notable band with the same name as this EP (minus the hyphen). Artist is not notable outside of the aforementioned group. Fails WP:NALBUMS. Prod removed without comment. TheJazzDalek (talk) 19:50, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep "limited edition" isn't included in NALBUM. Generally, EPs and albums tend to me notable. Sceptre (talk) 20:01, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Could you please point out where in WP:NALBUM it says that any EP is notable? Especially by a non-notable artist. Without any sort of media coverage and without charting, I don't see how this EP, which reached an extremely limited audience, could possibly be notable.

- By a non-notable artist? He's the lead singer of Mindless Self-Indulgence. I think in this case notability is inherited. Sceptre (talk) 20:51, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Uh, no. Notability is not inherited. Period. But, to humor you, even an EP by a notable artist is not automatically notable. Pretend the EP was by the band, not a solo release before the band existed. It came out before the band was popular and only 500 people got a copy. It still didn't chart nationally, and the likelihood of any media coverage is pretty much non-exisitant. TheJazzDalek (talk) 21:14, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to Mindless Self Indulgence. Just because an EP isn't independently notable, and was released as a solo outing by a musician who's notable only for later going on to join a notable band, doesn't mean it's not worth at least making note of the EP's existence in the same article in which the musician himself receives his own primary coverage.
