Upon further investigation, I'm not sure about most of Jandek's albums; few have major news media coverage and rely on blog 'reviews' &c. JJLiu112 (talk) 14:48, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

BEFORE showed database style pages and promo, nothing that meets SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth. // Timothy :: talk 01:49, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Not all of the Jandek albums are individually notable, but this one is. I've expanded the article and added sources (completely different from those listed above). Am hoping to circle back this weekend to add at least one more source and list which two or three are the strongest. Cielquiparle (talk) 12:18, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I appreciate the changes made, but I don't think the article meets WP:SIGCOV. The sources are either too short or are not about the album or artist. JML1148 (Talk | Contribs) 01:09, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Standing by my earlier !keep vote. Apparently prose reviews on AllMusic can count toward notability, so we have one dedicated review about White Box Requiem here. If it's length and depth we're looking for, there is a dense, four-paragraph review here by Andre Salles...but it's on a journalist's website, so even if it's useful as a source to cite with care, maybe we set it aside in assessing notability for now. In terms of other reviews, we have another dedicated review of the album on In Music We Trust, which is a webzine and counts toward a WP:GNG pass. While the other sources, such as the articles in Pitchfork and the Chicago Reader are briefer mentions within larger articles, they help to explain the significance of this specific album (White Box Requiem) as an opus within Jandek's broader repertoire...so while not every Jandek album may meet Wikipedia's notability requirements, I would argue this particular one does.

Keep: I think the sources Cielquiparle provided help to pass GNG. Additionally, I found some mentions in a PhD thesis that could help for some analysis and a section on the album cover in this slightly unhinged book. Schminnte (talk • contribs) 11:40, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
