no idividual notability shown for this album. lacks charting, awards, covers, coverage. nothing satisfying WP:NALBUMS. duffbeerforme (talk) 06:54, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

• Keep Unless this article is unreferenced it should be kept. Unlike its policy on songs, which requires notability, wikipedi'a policy on albums allows most albums to have an article. Generally a single will have its own page, but other tracks will not. This is why the eventual complete coverage of albums is prudent. When you search for one of the lesser tracks on the album, you will be redirected to the album page. It is important that wikipedia improves its coverage of such articles related to albums, as wikipedia is often the fist resource that people turn to when trying to identify music. Wikipedia already has an excellent reputation for being a great page to find informationa bout music and it would not e wise to spoil such a reputation. Therefore i think this arguament should change from being one about the significance of the album (as this is insignificant in itself) and rather that we should focus on whether the article is of the necessary quality and has sufficent referencing to justify keeping it. talk, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
• Comment I thought an album needed to at least have a single chart or pass notability to be included. Dennis Brown (talk) 13:37, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

After several days and lack of demonstration that this is notable as a standalone, Redirect to the band. Dennis Brown (talk) 15:15, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

• Redirect to the band. Editor talk is mistaken that albums are excluded from Wikipedia's notability policies. All articles are subject to notability requirements per WP:GNG. Pburka (talk) 17:26, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
