This Vital Chapter

~~Blatant advertising for a~~ non-notable album per WP:MUSIC. I would have suggested a merge to The Panda Band but there is quite literally nothing to merge. (Note: edits to article within an hour of nomination have removed the blatant advertising aspect, but I still argue it should be deleted or merged per the notability criterion as it's really just two tracklists of an album which charted nowhere).

Weak keep barely notable, but seems to have some following. Iotha 02:02, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Article needs trimming, but consensus has stated before that if a band is notable, so are their albums. This band seems to be notable, so the album should stay. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 02:07, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Retain - The album is notable in that it was released in both Australia and the United States - has recieved significant airplay in both Australia and the US but also in the UK Dan arndt 02:11, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The Band is notable for having won awards in their field. This gives their album some notability per WP:MUSIC, especially independent coverage has been found such as[1].--Kylohk 02:14, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The above is a blog post. Orderinchaos 02:20, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Have added other independent reviews to justify Dan arndt 02:48, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't look like a blog post to me. There may be a community, but it's still like reporting news, I guess. But still, the Australia music online review is sufficient anyways.--Kylohk 02:51, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Howabout the fact that the album has received international airplay in Australia, the US and the UK - just because it didn't chart on the mainstream charts does not make it not notable Dan arndt 03:07, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Where's the evidence that it did? Orderinchaos 03:08, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Here are a few references for a start Dan arndt 03:56, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WUOG 90.5fm - Athens, Georgia
WRUR 88.5fm - Boulder, Colarado

Delete I can't find any information about this band on any national charts, the sources are flimsy at best, and while the WAMI Awards are notable, I don't think any band necessarily gets notability by association with them. Thewinchester ^(talk) 02:58, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge in to The Panda Band There'd be nothing lost in this going into the main band article. —Moondyne 04:12, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per Moondyne. Most arguments on this page are for the notability of the *band*, which is not in dispute, but not for the notability of *this album*. Critical fact - the album has not been a success in any market - no charting positions. One component song's low placing on the Triple J Hottest 100, a statistically unsound survey which does not release its figures or methodology and is based on phone-in and web votes which are easy to stack for low-placed entries, does not accord it notability of any kind. What is here is sufficient to be merged into the Panda Band article however (hence I disagree with the nom that there is "quite literally nothing to merge"). The external links may also need revising as few or none meet Wikipedia's policy on external links. Zivko85 05:45, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
