Keep. Album by a famous band and important influence (listen to the Beach Boys). Such articles are commonly kept, or if not, should be. Explain how deleting the article would improve the experience of readers searching on this term. Herostratus (talk) 01:23, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fair point, but that applies to material we adding to the article. When discussing the content or fate of articles among ourselves, we have a lot more leeway to offer opinions and claims without having to necessarily provide sources. For instance, we should absolutely not put in their article that they influenced the Beach Boys (until we have a good source saying that), but it's very likely true IMO, and that matters when deciding how important they are.

Keep major and historical band, hope that no other Letterman albums have been blanked or deleted on the basis similar to this nom. We don't expect albums of this vintage to have the same amount of current sources as 2023 releasses. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:46, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply - I think their compilation album was redirected. --Jax 0677 (talk) 14:56, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  @Jax 0677 I assume you're using this as an argument to delete this album. Not a strong argument. If in doubt, consider restoring it and bring it to AfD and see what happens. ~Kvng (talk) 14:50, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep adequate coverage in music trade magazines. A bit more work and referencing required and it should easily meet the requirements. Karl Twist (talk) 08:10, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
