- Weak delete For an album that's about to be released, I'm finding almost no verifiable info. The singer and the label are notable however. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 23:31, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

What is it you feel the article needs in order for it to stay? I wouldn't waste my time doing this if it wasn't a legitiment release... Fazio (talk) 01:10, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
It is listed on CDWOW with this track listing, cover, and release date, so what is the problem??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.106.134.146 (talk) 03:09, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
- Keep. It's a new album by a notable singer, an album that was just released yesterday (the text needs to be changed from "will be released" to "was released", btw). It's expecting a lot to look for many references just yet. I think this nom is questionable at best, but it's certainly too early. --AnnaFrance (talk) 19:32, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect to Morten_Harket#Albums. Notability has not been even claimed for the album, and since it was released just yesterday, the album is unlikely to be notable yet. However, it's a valid search term, so redirecting to the artist makes sense.--Fabrictramp (talk) 23:52, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
- Weak keep. Albums by notable artists are likely to be notable, but it can be hard to tell how notable when dealing with an artist from another country. I have two minor hits on Google news, here and here ("the most successful Norwegian band of all times"? Go A-ha!). I can't argue strongly for retention, because there's not much else out there, evidently; it hasn't even made it to AMG yet. (Again, it is from another country.) I wouldn't really object to a merge & redirect, but I believe that merging the track information would overwhelm that section of the article. I think the article has value of a split from a notable parent if nothing else. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:54, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- Strong keep What on earth? I see nothing wrong with this article at all. It is a notable artist, well wikilinked, and they clearly demonstrate notability. This discussion should be closed as keep. This article should be tagged for cleanup or improvement at worst. Carter | Talk to me 14:18, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- Strong keep - are you seriously telling us there's anywhere in the world that hasn't heard of A-ha? This is the singer of one of the most successful songs of all time, of course his album's going to be notable. — iridescent 14:23, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
