I PROD'ded this album with the rationale: >>Album was unreleased; per the WP criteria for albums at WP:NALBUM, 'Unreleased material... is only notable if it has significant independent coverage in reliable sources.' This album has not received reliable media notice in its own right; while for the single If Ever has its own article with sources.<< The article's creator removed the PROD with the comment: >>There is an entire [Category:Unreleased albums]; in addition, the two singles charted.<< That is an insufficient other stuff exists argument that does not provide evidence on notability for this album (or the others in the category, for that matter). The truth is that this unreleased album has achieved no significant coverage as an entity in its own right. The only evidence points to the single which already has its own article as a notable song. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 14:56, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Allmusic isn't significant coverage? Erpert ^{blah, blah, blah...} 17:06, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It appears to be a review of the album, but how is that possible when the album was never released? If it were a true review of the album it would discuss songs other than the two that are already known as single releases. Use that info to develop and expand the song articles elsewhere in WP. Otherwise AllMusic is usually significant, but here all they did was vaguely name-drop an album that doesn't exist. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 17:07, 10 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Conceptually, an AllMusic review would generally help with notability. But the WP:GNG requires significant coverage from multiple sources that cover the subject in significant detail. AllMusic would only be 1 source, and its pretty short, so I think you'd be hard pressed to call it significant. This is a rather bizarre situation - an unreleased album with multiple singles charted. I've never heard of it, but I want to look some before I !vote delete. It could have gotten coverage for being such a bizarre situation. Sergecross73 msg me 18:06, 10 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think the singles were intended to be advance releases to promote the album, then the album would come out later with two songs that were already hits. But then the album itself was never released. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 01:37, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
