The Enchanted Ceiling[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Harry and the Potters are a notable band, however their floppy disks, vinyls, EPs, splits, casettes, compilations, fan remixes and live albums & DVDs are not. The Enchanted Ceiling was listed up for deletion 2 years ago because no reliable sources were found to verify its notability. After 2 years, none have since been found. Thanks!

- In the Cupboard (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) - EP; article has one reference from reliable source, an interview where the band passingly mentioned it "the last songs we recorded were for an EP, and the songs focused on tiny little inconsistencies".
- Remixes (Harry and the Potters EP) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) - remix album; article only has references from primary sources.
- Harry and the Potters at the Yule Ball (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) - live CD & DVD; article only has references from primary sources.
- Priori Incantatem (album) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) - compilation album; article has one reference from reliable source, an interview where the band passingly mentioned it "is made up of songs we’d released on comps or 7-inches over the past seven or eight years or stuff that had been unreleased that hadn’t been put on previous albums".
- A Wizardly Christmas of Wizardry (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) - compilation album; article only has references from primary sources.

Delete all or Redirect all to Harry and the Potters. I agree that the band is notable, but I am not finding evidence of their recordings meeting WP:GNG or WP:NALBUMS. The latter guideline's wording has evolved in the two years since the previous nomination. Current sentences like "All articles on albums, singles or other recordings must meet the basic criteria at the notability guidelines, with significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" and "That an album is an officially released recording by a notable musician or ensemble is not by itself reason for a standalone article" suggest that, unless this coverage exists, these albums/EPs do not warrant individual articles.

Redirect to Harry and the Potters or Harry and the Potters discography per User:Gongshow, above (although I'm tempted to say the discography article should also be redirected or deleted). Band is notable, albums and songs are not independently notable, so redirect to band. We could even redirect to specific anchors in the band article about the time in which each was released, or we could redirect to Harry and the Potters#Discography. - Jorgath (talk) ^(contribs) 19:04, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect as suggested, plausible search terms, but WP:NALBUMS criteria does not appear to be met. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹^Speak 08:04, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
