Article does not meet GNG or NALBUM. Single source in article and BEFORE showed nothing that meets SIGCOV addressing the topic directly and in depth. // Timothy :: talk 21:04, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have added three additional sources. (I am not sure if the Longmont Potion Castle website's quotation of the Factsheet Five magazine is reputable as I can not find any record of the magazine's contents or anywhere else the quote appears. However I doubt the site webmaster would falsify a quote in this way. What is the pertinent policy?) In addition the first work of any author is naturally going to receive less attention than subsequent works as it must stand entirely on its own merit. However I do not believe that that makes it less notable. Beaneater00 (talk) 22:23, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've been looking at all the articles for albums by this artist for a while, and the problem is, I don't think any of them are notable. Most of the sources for their individual articles are the record label, the "staff picks" of a defunct San Francisco record store, blogs, or user-generated content like Discogs or iMDb... none of these pass WP:RS. Mike Prindle may well have had one of the longest-running websites on the internet and be well respected, but in the end it's still one man giving his opinions on the internet about records, no different to Anthony Fantano or Pierro Scaruffi really, and we don't allow their one-man websites either. The only source that seems to be acceptable to me is The Nerve magazine, although the links are now old and don't direct to the actual reviews, just to the old website, but I would think with time and effort somebody could go through them here and relocate the reviews. But this is still only one source, and only for two of the albums – we need coverage in multiple independent sources to demonstrate notability. My inclination would be to redirect all of them, including this one, to Longmont Potion Castle, although I'd understand that other editors may feel that redirecting albums titled Longmont Potion Castle 4 and Longmont Potion Castle 5 might be a waste of time.
