The King of Carrot Flowers Pt. One[edit]

Nominating this and ten of eleven articles on album tracks from a 1998 album by Neutral Milk Hotel. The album itself deserves an article, and the articles are well put together but only Holland, 1945 was a single (I have not nominated it as part of this deletion). The album doesn't have any chart placings in its long article so suggests that the album isn't of major relevance and each song's article fails to assert notability, instead seeming more suited to a fansite (noting that tracks are the longest on the album and other trivia), and as such I don't feel each track warrants an article of its own.

The list of articles nominated is as follows: The King of Carrot Flowers Pt. One, "The King of Carrot Flowers Pts. Two & Three", "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea", "Two-Headed Boy", "The Fool", "Communist Daughter", "Oh Comely", "Ghost", (Untitled) and "Two-Headed Boy Pt. Two".

Delete all The individual songs on the album are not notable by themselves (except Holland, 1945). The articles also appear to be comprised mostly of OR. Teemu08 (talk) 19:52, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect All to main album article as guidelines suggest with non notable album tracks. --neon white talk 21:59, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect All to In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. Only "Holland, 1945" has any notability as it was the single. Any usable information can be merged into the page for the album (however it's mostly OR). The album itself certainly has notability (a book was written about it, but there are other reasons). But notability is not inherited. As I stated above, only "Holland, 1945" has notability due its release as a single. Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 23:19, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The album didn't chart, but it's consistantly regarded as one of the most important indie albums of the 90s. Each of the articles could be expanded 100 times over, I think. There's a lot in the 33 and one third book, and the articles don't even start to talk about the evolution of the songs on tape and live. There's a lot of room for expansion, and the album is particularly notable. Stormx2 (talk) 08:50, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The only one aside from "Holland, 1945" to show any notability is the Untitled Neutral Milk Hotel song for the reason that it has no title, but I didn't vote keep on that one because i am unsure if that's enough to hinge notability on and I had no reason aside "it's interesting", anyhow.
