- Delete, concur with the nom, does not meet WP:NALBUMS or WP:GNG, can find no sources other than Wikipedia mirrors. J04n(talk page) 15:50, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Per WP:NALBUMS, an unreleased album may have an independent article is there is significant coverage in reliable sources. I can not find anything to indicate such coverage exists. Gongshow Talk 18:54, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Question/Comment: The article says that the album was mentioned in Lillian Roxon's Rock Encyclopedia, a book that that really exists, by a notable rock journalist, but is apparently out of print. If whoever added the mention of that book to the article could add a reference to a page number, would that be sufficient for notability? There would be some historical interest behind an unreleased Sonny & Cher album, but Ms. Roxon is possibly the only person who ever knew anything about it, given the shortage of sources. Tellingly, the album is not mentioned as a historical item of interest in the Sonny & Cher article. Doomsdayer520 (Talk|Contribs) 23:41, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- From the "snippet view" at Google Books (which is all I have access to, so if anyone has the book please correct me if I'm missing something), it seems that the mention comes as some part of a listing within Sonny and Cher's discography. I agree that the book would be considered a reliable source; however, absent any additional material to at least satisfy WP:GNG, I think it falls short of meeting WP:NALBUMS.

- Delete If it were a notable Sonny & Cher album it would have better coverage. --Bejnar (talk) 05:52, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
