Dubious notability. The first two sources don't even mention the album, and the third is a blank allmusic listing. Redirect declined by author. No reliable source coverage found anywhere. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 21:12, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: It is a little odd that the New York Times review doesn't mention her show by name, but the songs described in that review do match the songs listed in the article (and supported by the allmusic link.) 28bytes (talk) 05:48, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't transfer notability to the album though. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 20:36, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep, tough one, but in addition to the New York Times source, there does appear to be some coverage for this album. I believe some of the confusion has arisen because it is the songs from the show she is singing in. Album appears in CMT, CDBaby, Allmusic, and the show has several references/reviews in Theater mania and Cabaret Scenes. I believe that an article about the show and the album would be worth keeping. Maybe the author would be interested in that? - Theornamentalist (talk) 13:04, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, I would be more than happy to reformat this as an article pertaining to show + album if that is what is recommended. I agree the available source is a little confusing; one of the reasons I wanted to create this article was to collate and clarify the source that is available. I choose to focus on the album/soundtrack as it is an item which is still viable and available whereas the show was completed in 2007 (thou it was revamped and ran again as "Love Letters" in 2008.) Were this to be a one-off recording from a performer who had nothing else as far as discography, I can see how this would not be 'notable' per Wikipedia guidelines. However, I feel it is a relevant entry as it is part of the discography of a gold-selling and Grammy-awarded artist with multiple charting albums to her credit.

Keep The article appears to be in good shape, thanks to the clean-up efforts following the launch of this AfD. Regent of the Seatopians (talk) 16:47, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
