Keep - for editors who are usually sticklers for WP rules and guidelines, you two guys weren't even close on this one. Before I got to the article today, it was indeed full of weak fan prose and unreliable sources. But I see no evidence that the nominator or previous voter did a single second of good faith research before condemning this legit topic to deletion. The article needed cleanup and improvement, which I proceeded to do with minimal effort. As for this AfD, the article text says (and always said) that the album was released on July 20, and then Justin nominated it as a WP:CRYSTAL violation after that on August 3. The album was indeed released on July 20 as seen here. This AfD nomination is illegitimate right off the bat because WP:CRYSTAL was never even applicable. Meanwhile, the album did indeed reach the Billboard Top 200, and is at #195 this week after peaking at #67 and reaching quite high on the rock-oriented charts. Mr. Hammer has a point about lack of secondary sources, except for Billboard, which didn't take me too long to find. --DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:01, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
