Neophyte Phenotype

non-notable album, I tried a redirect to Noah23 but that was reverted, as was a PROD. I can find no RS to support notability, this fails WP:NALBUMS Jezhotwells (talk) 23:14, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Two of these links are already in the article, you mustn't have looked very hard. In fact I don't think you looked at any of the pages you redirected, seeing as you described several albums as 'singles'. I have no problem with some of these pages being redirected, but since you clearly don't know anything about the subject, and therefore have no knowledge of the notability of these albums, wouldn't the reasonable thing to do be to add a notability tag rather than to go blindly redirecting the pages?

Merge to Noah23 Zero indication of wp:notability, zero references. Actually, zero content except for a track listing. North8000 (talk) 00:34, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I tried a merge, but that was reverted, so I brought it here. Merge would be the best solution for all of these articles, there are many more. Jezhotwells (talk) 14:41, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Definitely not a delete, as the info here is of interest with respect to the notable artist. I've added Reception and References sections to the article, with a new ref or two. Even so, I think it's fair to say that the notability of this album is not overwhelming. The artist has produced a large body work, but many or most of the individual albums are only marginally notable. However, I think that WP readers are better served by keeping them as individual articles, rather than merging into a single discography section that is either unwieldy or sacrifices information. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 16:59, 13 November 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, Sandstein 14:29, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - There seem to be reliable sources which do establish notability. ItsZippy ^{(talk • contributions)} 17:12, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
