Does not seem to pass WP:NALBUM. Currently uncited, album was released on a non-notable record label. Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:23, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I dispute that this album article should be deleted. I created the article (long ago) to make the Tony Levin discography more complete. While it may have been released on a non-notable label, it's by a very well known artist and furthermore the album is fairly uncommon, being recorded binaurally in an unusual environment. Should all other Tony Levin solo album articles be deleted too, since they were also released on his small record label? Ango74 (talk) 08:45, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:41, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, leaning towards a merge The guidelines for albums seem to indicate that (unlike the guidelines for books with notable authors which may all be included) an album must itself be notable. Personally (IAR!), I am not swayed by that guideline; blasting this article would seem also to be rather counter-productive, for reasons including those [User:Ango74] mentioned. However, it may be preferable to reorganize and merge similar content, i.e. into a new article along the lines of "Tony Levin discography." That could suffer from length issues but may actually help the goal of not only managing but presenting the information. Edwin Herdman (talk) 10:15, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
