This lengthy article by a WP:SPA has zero reliable independent sources. Guy (Help!) 09:25, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Although the band is notable, there are no notable tracks on this page. The sentence explaining the notability is covered by a blog source, which isn't reliable and thus not being worldwidely recognised. Minima c (talk) 09:30, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete; does not appear to meet WP:NALBUMS, as I cannot find any significant coverage for this album. The closest I can come up with is a two-sentence blurb on the title track which was chosen as PopJustice's "Song of the Day". Gongshow ^Talk 03:52, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The article is surely fishy, with a lot of big claims being made with only blogs and other unreliable junk as sources. I tried to check the claims about big chart success in South Africa, and the charting company there (RISA) has a website in the Afrikaans language that is searchable by using the obvious box near the top of the main page. See http://www.rsg.co.za/musiek_top20.asp. However, today it appears that this website is not working. If this album and its chart performance can be verified at that site, that might help with notability, but the article would still need to be pared down significantly to remove all the fan hype. The same goes for the band article too. --DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 16:08, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
