Preliminary warning: My web browser does not pick up websites originating in Canada well (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Contrived as not my finest AfD hour). However, there honestly seems to be basically no coverage in reliable sources for this EP. Generally, non-notable albums and EPs are redirect to the band article, so I'll suggest a redirect to Elevator (band). Hog Farm (talk) 05:10, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete and/or redirect per nom. Once upon a time, albums (including EPs) were automatically accepted as notable enough for Wikipedia articles so long as the band that had recorded them had a Wikipedia article. That's no longer the way it works, however: our notability criteria for music have been tightened up considerably in the 14 years since this was created, and albums now have to have a much stronger claim of notability — fairly wide critical attention, notable awards, etc. — than just existing. But I can find nothing on either Google or ProQuest that would bolster the notability here, so a standalone article is not warranted under contemporary wikistandards. In fact, even the band's full albums are all pretty questionable too — none of them are making any claim of notability stronger than the fact that they exist either, and they're all either minimally sourced or entirely unsourced.

  • Redirect to Elevator (band) per the nom. Aoba47 (talk) 02:01, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Since it seems like the Elevator (band) article will soon be deleted, then I have adjusted my vote to delete since there will no longer be a viable redirect target. Aoba47 (talk) 19:04, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Elevator (band) -- It looks like this one fell through the cracks. The article has no sources for a reason: there aren't any except basic retail/streaming entries that only indicate the album's basic existence, and a few mentions at blogs. Not enough to confer notability. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 22:44, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I am in Canada and there are no reviews of the work. Not a likely search term, and the search tool would pick it up in the band's article. Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:16, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
