Album not properly sourced as passing WP:NALBUM. Wikipedia's approach to album notability used to confer an automatic inclusion freebie on any album recorded by a notable band, in the name of completionist directoryism -- but that's long since been kiboshed, and an album now has to have its own standalone notability claim (e.g. charting, awards, etc.) supported by a WP:GNG-worthy volume of reliable source coverage about it.
But the only attempted notability claim here is that one song on it is asserted as being the band's "most popular", with no attempt at either sourcing the claim as accurate or even quantifying how their songs' relative popularity was even determined in the first place, and the sole source in the article is a deadlink that didn't even provide the correct title of the content for recoverability purposes — and a Google search for better sources only turned up directory entries, label PR and streaming platforms rather than GNG-worthy coverage about the album, while a deeper ProQuest search found a couple of album reviews, but nothing that verified the purported most-popularity of "L'Aventurier", and not enough reviews to claim that this would pass the bar on "volume of coverage" grounds alone.
