Fails WP:NALBUM, could find no reviews or any other content during a thorough search. Even the Riddle biography listed only gives three sentences to describe the album. As for the liner notes, this isn't an independent source. Schminnte ^{[talk to me]} 21:29, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

“Nelson Riddle Conducts The 101 Strings” is notable and worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia for several reasons. First, it represented the return to recording industry after a two-year hiatus by Nelson Riddle, one of the most significant American arrangers, composers, bandleaders, and orchestrators of the Twentieth Century, in a European release that was a departure from his career that had been based in Los Angeles, California, most notably with Capitol Records. Second, the recording is a coming together of two artists notable in their own right—Riddle, and The 101 Strings Orchestra, the highly successful easy listening symphonic organization that released more than 150 albums in its three decades of existence. Third, the popularity of and demand for the recording is reflected in the fact that it was reissued on vinyl disc on three subsequent occasions, and was later issued in compact disc format. Fourth, the enduring popularity of the recording over a half century is evident from the fact that its songs are currently available for download from Amazon Music, Apple Music, and Spotify.

None of these points are based on Wikipedia's general or album-specific notability guideline. I will respond to them here: 1) Nelson Riddpe is highly notable, but not everything associated with him is; 2) again, notability is not inherited: this has nothing to do with the album notability guideline. Incidentally, it's interesting to see how most of the albums by the 101 strings don't have articles? 3) just because an album was rereleased that doesn't make it notable, again this isn't based on the album notability guideline; 4) the existence of a song on streaming services does not make it notable. There are over five million albums on Spotify and we have 400,000 album articles. Schminnte ^{[talk to me]} 11:31, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Nelson Riddle. Really just a mention there with the Levinson citation would be adequate. --Michig (talk) 11:47, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Didn't find any reviews. Checked out the three 1970 NME's online. A part merge to Nelson Riddle#Later Years seems appropriate, specifically the Origin paragraph and Levinson review. Rupples (talk) 01:14, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge the content worth saving to Nelson Riddle. microbiologyMarcus ^{(petri dish•growths)} 17:34, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
