Fear Before (album)

Unreleased album WP:Crystal. No notability yet. I am also not sure the band itself is notable. Only references are self-referential/ myspace-type stuff. Jerry delusional ¤ kangaroo 01:45, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, article fails to establish notability as per WP:MUSIC#Albums & WP:CRYSTAL. Non-plausible search term. Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 05:00, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, according to WP:NM#Criteria for musicians and ensembles, the band itself follows several of the criteria of which it only needs one to be considered notable. Although some of these are not stated, the band does meet the following criteria: 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 10. And later in the same article at WP:NM#Albums it states "In 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," and goes on to state that "Once the artist or their record label has publicly confirmed the title, track listing and release date, an article about the album is not a WP:CRYSTAL violation." I would like to note that before this article was nominated, the article had two sources containing the press release about the album, but a reference section was not yet included to present the article sources. Also, the article was nominated for deletion only minutes after its creation, and is still in progress. Fezmar9 (talk) 05:31, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
