Album received no pro reviews or other reliable coverage per the requirements at WP:NALBUM. It is sometimes mentioned briefly in articles on the singer overall, but even those are rare and unreliable. The article attempts to make a statement of notability about how the album received fan funding, but that was not particularly unusual even in 2008 and there are no sources to back it up anyway. The singer's article may also be deleted soon; see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Verity and the Shades. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:25, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per my rationale at the article of the band. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 16:30, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: fails WP:NALBUM. Notability rests on apparently being the first crowdfunded album in South Africa, and there was a news segment on South African TV about what was then seen as a novelty [1]. But that seems to be the only thing vaguely notable about the album: it only sold 2000 copies worldwide, the follow-up appears to have been abandoned, and Verity now works as a motivational speaker.

Comment: note that the artist's article has now been deleted via AfD, so there is no possibility of a redirect target. Richard3120 (talk) 21:36, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
