I could not find enough coverages on this album from third-party, reliable sources to justify this having a separate article. I do not think this article meets WP:NALBUM. Aoba47 (talk) 22:36, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. It is a charted album, so it indeed passes WP:NALBUM. Erpert ^{blah, blah, blah...} 13:40, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• If the only notable thing about this album is that it charted, then couldn't that information be easily contained in the Voices (American band) article? I just do not think charting alone is a strong enough reason to have a separate album article if the album did not receive significant coverage. Aoba47 (talk) 18:54, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• WP:NALBUM doesn't require that it needs to pass several notability aspects. Erpert ^{blah, blah, blah...} 22:29, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• WP:NALBUM says that a recording may be notable if one of the criteria met. Charting is one entry on the criteria, but as I have said in my rationale, I do not think that is a strong enough reason to support an independent album article when this charting information can be represented on the group's main article. If you read WP:NALBUM, it says the following: "All articles on albums, singles or other recordings should meet the basic criteria at the notability guidelines, with significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." (and I have added the italics for emphasis). I do not see significant coverage on this album. Aoba47 (talk) 23:52, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per Aoba47 comments. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 10:39, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Voices (American band)- fails WP:NALBUMS and WP:GNG. Excepting the AllMusic review, the recording lacks significant coverage in multiple reliable independent sources. Charting alone is not sufficient to demonstrate notability of the album, and given that it has not received any certifications or major accolades, a standalone article is not appropriate. --Ashleyyoursmile! 05:32, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
