The result was Redirect to Baillie & the Boys. While the notability standards for albums can be considered low, there is still a standard and it does require meeting the basic notability guidelines, namely significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.

To have 3 albums with their own pages then to delete the pages for last two albums is nonsensical. Either each album has its own page (as currently) or merge all 5 albums onto one page for the group, biography and discography. Common sense needs to be applied here.

"All or none" doesn't always work that way. Notability needs to be asserted too. If we made articles on every recording ever put out by every artist, then there would be tons and tons of unexpandable stubs. Tell me again how these are NOTABLE per our guidelines, not just why you THINK they should have articles. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 22:33, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• keep So your nomination is, "A new editor dared to disagree with me, the Great and Powerful Oz"? Policy suggests there is no-one behind the curtain here. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:36, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your ability to work Google has frequently failed to meet either

WP:COMPETENCE. I don't claim that these albums are remarkable or especially good, but our standards for the inclusion of published albums are always rock-bottom and these appear in the usual places, including Billboard, “On this well-crafted album, the trio remind everyone of the musical magic that occurs when great songs skilled production and a stunning voice unite.” This is not "literally nothing", you have a long track record of deleting everything you see, a longer track record of failing to even try looking for coverage and here you did literally (unlike you, I use the term literally) write a nomination that seems based on disliking an editor, or maybe just any editor with fewer deletions under their belt than you, more than policy about the article.

"Blah blah blah, I'm voting keep just because I have a grudge against Hammer". How about showing me some of the sources that supposedly exist? If albums have a rock-bottom notability, then why not make an article on the obscure demo that probably got them signed to RCA? Or a tape they probably made in their basement when they were 14? Clearly those are notable, because we allow all albums ever, and if the artist is notable, then their albums are notable bar none.

• Comment. I didn't find much real coverage of the album online, just a brief mention here, and a bit about a legal case regarding the artwork. It's possible that there's more coverage around, but at the moment we really only have basic details about the album's release and a tracklisting, which in my view should be coverable within a discography section/article. --Michig (talk) 06:25, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

keep That article explains why the album was re-issued with an alternative title, thanks. This is worth including on the page as a reference. Squirrel (talk) 06:20, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge/Redirect both to
