Damascus Road

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The subject of this article is a musical recording by Damascus Road, a band which does not have its own Wikipedia article. No indication of this particular album's notability is given in the article. I tagged it with A9, but the article's creator has changed the article so the infobox says the album is by Matt Wertz, who does have an article on Wikipedia, while the main text says the album is by the band Damascus Road, which includes Matt Wertz. There's no indication of notability here, so I submit this for deletion here because it just barely escapes A9. A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 05:42, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. WP:NALBUMS states that "[i]n general, if the musician or ensemble that recorded an album is considered notable, then officially released albums may have sufficient notability to have individual articles on Wikipedia." This is not one of those cases. The "musician or ensemble" is teetering on the brink of even minimal notability, and this is just not an album on which I can find anything approaching significant reliable coverage. (See, e.g., "damascus road" wentz). --Glenfarclas (talk) 06:09, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I'm not finding any significant coverage for this album; does not appear to meet WP:NALBUMS. Gongshow ^Talk 06:20, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Per the conventions of Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums the band article should be created first and pass the test of notability. Then it will be time to discuss the albums. More specifically, this album has a relationship with Matt Wertz that is too distant too piggyback off of his notability. Doomsdayer520 (Talk|Contribs) 13:10, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Vitaminsandgravy, no one said this wasn't a real album; the issue is that there's no evidence it's a notable album. Also, please don't call anyone an idiot or make any other personal attacks. Thank you. A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 02:33, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
