Water to the Soul[edit]

Album barely notable. Colorhaus does not have its own article. One source is Answers.com which is not reliable and barely mentions the album anyway. The other is an Allmusic review which is the only reliable source about the album. Redirect to Sherrié Austin declined.

Redirect to Sherrié Austin. Turning this into an article on Colourhaus seemed a possible option but I don't think the band or this album received enough coverage to make it worthwhile. Colourhaus and this album seem to be adequately covered in the Sherrié Austin article so a redirect there makes sense. --Michig (talk) 13:28, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - "Innocent Child" was a popular song on the radio in the 1990s, No.10 in airplay at KDWB FM in Minneapolis, Minnesota and No.50 on Billboard. --Jax 0677 (talk) 22:08, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTINHERITED, WP:ITSNOTABLE. Try again. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 01:42, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - WRT "WP:NOTINHERITED", an album can be discussed in its article in terms of its constituent songs, this is referred to as a "top-down approach", since "Innocent Child" was a Colorhaus song. WRT "WP:ITSNOTABLE", the songs on the album have charted on Billboard with airplay in a major city. The album article is "more than a track listing" per WP:NALBUM. The album "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble who created it", while the hit single "has appeared on [a] country's national music chart" and "was in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network". --Jax 0677 (talk) 02:25, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I recently added KDWB-FM, Friday Night Videos, Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 and Windswept Pacific. --Jax 0677 (talk) 13:16, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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

- Reply - @Northamerica1000:, on what grounds do you propose redirecting the article? --Jax 0677 (talk) 15:56, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:NALBUMS, section Albums: "Album articles with little more than a track listing may be more appropriately merged into the artist's main article or discography article, space permitting." Although the article has some content, a redirect is in the spirit of the guideline. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 17:08, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
