Does not appear to meet notability requirements. Previous deletion discussion seems to predate WP:MUSIC, as all the arguments seem to rely on notability being inherited. RF23 (talk) 20:41, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment This album does not exist. WP:NALBUM would normally be the criteria for deciding whether to keep the article, but in this case, the "album" appears to have been a rumor invented or encouraged by the band for the sake of having an air of mystique, so the relevant criteria would instead be whatever we use to adjudge the notability of cryptids and UFO sightings. AfD is the wrong venue for determining whether this should be deleted or not, since obviously we do not want to have a redlink here; the nominator should pursue a redirect or merge discussion instead.

• Redirect to Godspeed You! Black Emperor and merge a couple of lines into the history section. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 07:27, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Do not understand the rationale for deletion. Chubbles’ theory above is unsupported speculation contradicted by the available evidence as cited in the article; the fact that it is widely discussed in major music magazines is in itself prima facie evidence of its notability. There are many articles about lost films, lost manuscripts, etc. so the fact that it is unavailable commercially is not relevant. Tothebarricades (talk) 02:36, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I guess the real question (regardless of whether it is a "lost work" or a fictional album) is whether it passes GNG. Chubbles (talk) 05:13, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes - I have had my doubts as well, but it doesn’t seem like the role of a tertiary source to adjudicate that sort of thing. A quick Google Books search turns up mentions in Colin Larkin’s ‘’The Encyclopedia of Popular Music’’, among other things, so there’s no reason it shouldn’t be up here.

Something tells me Larkin wrote that from the band's press kit, not having heard anything firsthand, but... there it is, in the books. Chubbles (talk) 18:58, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Godspeed You! Black Emperor: Though there are sources about this "lost work", its existence remains in question. ASTIG😎 _{(ICE T • ICE CUBE)} 05:11, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why is it that you bookburners always seem to get your way in these things? Completely fascistic philistine idiocy. Why even bother discussing? Tothebarricades (talk) 20:55, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The article appears to meet WP:GNG. I would point to the three sources already used by the article, which report on the Casketjack leak.^[1][2][3] There are other sources but most of them are too closely related to the band or label for them to qualify of WP:GNG in my opinion. It also seems to meet WP:NALBUMS on the same grounds, but if we are being honest here I fail to see how something qualifing for WP:GNG could fail to meet WP:NALBUMS. Apart from this more formal argument, I also think it would be of detriment to the encyclopedia to lose this article. It is an interesting subject that is worth reading about. Since there is enough material to make a well cited article, I believe it would be best to keep it. AquitaneHungerForce (talk) 21:32, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: Changed my vote, per deletion review. Its existence remains in question as to being a "lost work" or a fan-exclusive album. Nonetheless, the "album" is also featured in Nashville Scene, The Rough Guide to the Best Music You've Never Heard, The Rough Guide to Rock and The Wire. With all the sources indicated in this AfD, the article easily passes WP:NEXIST and WP:FUTUREALBUM. ASTIG😎 _{(ICE T • ICE CUBE)} 15:59, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - It may be a lost album, but the sources in the article (including this one), and the one shown by Superastig prove it's notability. (This one). Koridas 📣 05:38, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as per @Koridas: and @Superastig:. The album does have Reliable sources. Dtt1^Talk 14:20, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
