Appears to fail WP:NALBUM. There's an AllMusic review but I can't find any other significant coverage or other indication of notability. Lennart97 (talk) 21:39, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Coverage isn't that much, but aside from the AllMusic review, I also found a few reliable sources about the album: [1], [2] and [3]. That said, while the article needs a little clean-up, it's good enough to pass WP:NALBUM. ASTIG😎 _{(ICE T • ICE CUBE)} 16:00, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Superastig: Thanks for the input! I missed the first one, Paste is definitely reliable. But are the other two? [2] seems to be ~~one guy~~ (correction: not just one guy, the review was written by someone else; but who this author is, and whether he has any credentials, is unclear), selling audio equipment and writing reviews on the side, so almost certainly not reliable as far as I can see. I find it hard to determine what exactly [3] is, mostly because clicking any link on that website brings me to some spam/scam site, but in any case I can't find information about the website indicating that it's a reliable source. So unless I'm wrong about these two, the notability is still very borderline at best. Lennart97 (talk) 16:29, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, notability is WP:NOTINHERITED from the two individually notable artists working on it. Just like Lennary97, I also get redirected to a spam site by the More Than Music link and therefore do not think it to be a reliable source (if it were, it wouldn't hijack you like that). A search for "les shelleys" "tom brosseau" on World Radio History (which hosts multiple music magazines from around the world) turned up no results, and of the ten results on newspapers.com for the same search query, all but one was just a rehash of the same one-sentence blurb of them performing at a concert.

Comment: The third link I posted redirected me to a spam website. Luckily, I was able to get the cached version of it: [4]. I also found a few more reliable sources which talk about the album: [5], [6] and listicle [7]. ASTIG😎 _{(ICE T • ICE CUBE)} 12:54, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep due to reviews from PopMatters, AllMusic, Gaffa.se, The Guardian, The Courier. and SoundBlab, plus coverage from The Digital Fix and AAA Music, plus one of its songs was listed in a book as one of the all-time greatest murder ballads. Took some digging to find these as an album from 11 years ago, but this is enough to indicate its notability. 👨x🐱 (talk) 12:34, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@HumanxAnthro: Thanks for the digging! The PopMatters review is definitely a big one I missed, and Gaffa seems notable too. Together with at least the pieces from AllMusic, Paste, and the Guardian, there's very likely enough here for notability. TenPoundHammer, would you agree?

Heck ya! 👨x🐱 (talk) 13:15, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@HumanxAnthro: @Lennart97: I would support a move to Les Shelleys. The artist should have a page that also mentions the album, and the page for the artist currently doesn't exist. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 15:59, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That makes sense, and I see you've already moved. With no other delete votes and not expecting anyone to object to the move, I'll withdraw this nomination. Lennart97 (talk) 06:18, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
