The article is void of any reliable sources and for good reason--none readily exist! From what I could dig up, the EP was released in a very limited run so an appearance on a chart is highly unlikely. For me, it is an obvious failure of GNG and NALBUM.

Delete Too promotional in tone and style.TH1980 (talk) 03:16, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You think this basic four-sentence stub is promotional? Promoting an EP that has been unavailable for decades? How so, exactly? --Michig (talk) 07:05, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Emperor discography#EPs per WP:ATD and as a plausible search term. --Michig (talk) 07:05, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The article fails to meet GNG and NALBUM. Lack of coverage by third party reliable sources. An article should merely be edited for tone and not deleted. desmay (talk) 15:27, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Redirect to Emperor discography#EPs. Note that there is another AfD open right now for a different early EP by the same band, but that one has gained a little more influence and media notice due to its place in metal history. This one, on the other hand, has been chopped up and re-released multiple times to the point where it has become invisible for all but the most hardcore fans, so it can be mentioned briefly at the band's article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 14:33, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
