Album that asserts no notability at all. Off2riorob (talk) 17:44, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep released by a notable act on a blue link label. Infobox has three reviews which can be used to expand the article. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 18:30, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Those are not actual reviews, they are promotional content, the album is not notable in any way. The band is barely notable, we have multiple promotional linked articles like this one about a very unnotable album, all of the articles would easily merge into one single article that may be worth keeping.

Tell me how Allmusic is "not actual reviews." Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 19:22, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Per TenPound. --Epeefleche (talk) 20:22, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - Most albums from notable musicians merit an article, per WP:NALBUMS. That being said, the article does need a bit more substance and sourcing outside the infobox beyond a couple of unsourced sentences and a track listing, again per WP:NALBUMS. If someone really wants that article to stay, I think it should be fairly easy to get it up to standards. Cresix (talk) 20:40, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• I added a couple of citations. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 17:08, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - needs expansion, not deletion. Expansion is entirely possible, and other editors have done it without too much effort. --DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 13:50, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong Keep. The album is distributed by the EMI Christian Music Group, meaning it's as major label as it gets. The band goes back 16 years and is fairly successful nationwide. The user who wants this deleted has messed up most Joy Electric-related pages with unnecessary templates. You should check out the band's entry on pages like Discogs [1] first instead of wasting our time. My apologies, Off2riorob. Gregorik (talk) 20:33, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
