Fails WP:NALBUM. No chart entry, no significant coverage in the media. Binksternet (talk) 15:15, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Does not satisfy WP:GNG or the subject-specific criteria WP:NSINGLE. The article has 2 independent sources, the J-14 source is an interview so does not count toward notability; and the other from nerdsandbeyond doesn't look like a great source. All other included sources are primary. A WP:BEFORE search comes up with this from onestowatch.com/blog/, again not a great source, and otherwise I find only generic pages or interviews, rather than independent and reliable sources with significant coverage of the subject. When first published, I tried to draftify this so as to give the author a chance to work on it in a safe space, but they insisted on recreating it in article space. I would say redirect to the artist but we only have an article on Niki and Gabi. -Lopifalko (talk) 16:58, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete could not find any more sources to fulfill notability. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 01:47, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The sourcing is a mess. Only sources 2 and 3 in the article are reliable since it talks about the EP. Source 6 doesn't mention the EP at all. I also found some reliable sources which talk about the EP: [1] and [2]. That said, the article is good enough to pass WP:NALBUM. ASTIG️🙃 _{(ICE-T • ICE CUBE)} 15:15, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: @Superastig: What is it about the existing article that suggests to you that it "is good enough to pass WP:NALBUM"? Of the additional sources you provide, both are from Nerds & Beyond, which I doubt is a WP:RS; one is merely an announcement of the track list of the then forthcoming EP; the other is a mere 3-line announcement that the EP has been released; neither are substantial enough for any of the criteria of WP:NMUSIC. -Lopifalko (talk) 07:19, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I wouldn't count out N&B's reliability so immediately, they do have an about page with an extensive list of staff. QuietHere (talk) 02:13, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: there isn't any consensus yet to determine whether Nerds & Beyond passes WP:RS. Until that happens, it can't be stated that it's a reliable source to support this article. Richard3120 (talk) 15:33, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I think ASTIG️ nailed it. — Ret.Prof (talk) 00:28, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Meets WP:NALBUM with sources presented by Astig. They're reliable enougn IMV. SBKSPP (talk) 01:21, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to artist: Even with the sources ASTIG found (assuming they're good; has anyone started a discussion regarding that?), it'd be barebones at best, and I'm not convinced that's enough to be worth saving the article. QuietHere (talk) 02:17, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - one reason albums historically have tended to have their own articles is that they are unwieldy when included in the artist's article. Therefore they were split out per WP:PRESERVE presuming they are a significant aspect of a notable artist's output. (in other words this wouldn't apply to a random compilation Therefore DELETE or REDIRECT are inappropriate, and the material should be MERGED into the artist's article if the community thinks it fits better there. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 18:20, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
