A recreation of a deleted article, and technically fits G4. However, with possible additional sourcing turned up since three years ago, I find it prudent to run a new AfD. A google book search turns up this for example. It's not much, but there is quite a lot of different sources that provide of more-than-trival yet less-than-in-depth coverage.

Delete with maybe a bit of Merge. Doesn't merit a standalone article. It appears to be covered adequately in the article on the band. The only thing we would really lose by deleting this is the tracklisting, and this could be included in Blink-182 discography if need be.--Michig (talk) 20:42, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:NALBUMS because there isn't significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. I've looked for such coverage several times over the years and never found anything that gives more than a passing mention, other than fansites. The book Martijn mentions above gives only 1 sentence's worth of coverage. The most coverage I've seen is in the book Tales from Beneath Your Mom by Anne Hoppus, sister of Blink-182 bassist Mark Hoppus, but that's a primary source and it only gives maybe a short paragraph's worth of coverage, nothing that isn't already covered in Blink-182#Formation (1992–93) or couldn't be added there. --IllaZilla (talk) 21:18, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or move information to Blink-182 discography page, but be willing to put the same level of information for all the Blink-182 albums. When researching popular music, track listings are important. Re: sufficient coverage: when one is looking for information about an album, one doesn't care how popular it is with secondary sources. Note: I'm saying this as a fan of popular music generally, and I have no specific attachment to Blink-182 specifically. Listmeister (talk) 20:43, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
