The result was redirect to Wrathchild. Going on consensus on this one I would have chosen to merge. The big problem here is that the article consists of one sentence and a track list. So redirect it is. - Ta bu shi da yu 14:02, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Stakk Attak
Totally non-notable by not asserting its notability. Removal of PROD was just an unexplained one by the creator of the article, like so many others. Porcupine (prickle me!) 16:50, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
- KEEP Can't see many album articles that do assert their notability. I've certainly seen less well known albums stay. Fork me 20:58, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. Band meets notability criteria. If it needs references, why not tag it as needing references?--Michig 07:01, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
- How does it meet notabiltiy when it doesn't assert its notability? THat's what the policy says, dear.--Porcupine (prickle me!) 07:09, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

- Please take a look at the agreed criteria for articles on albums at WP:MUSIC#Albums, which states If the musician or ensemble that recorded an album is considered notable, then albums may have sufficient notability to have individual articles on Wikipedia. Individual articles on albums should include independent coverage. Demos, mixtapes, bootlegs and promo-only records are in general not notable. Album articles with little more than a track listing may be more appropriately merged into the artist's main article, space permitting. Independent coverage is lacking in this article but if requested in the article/talk page it may be added - it's worth a try. Given that the band only released 3 albums, it may be better to merge this into the band's article. There are no requirements to 'assert notability' other than the requirement that the band is notable, and that ideally there is some evidence of independent coverage. At worst, this article should be merged. Please take some time to read the guidelines on notability re. music-related topics before prodding/AfDing further articles. Thanks.--Michig 12:51, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
- This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 14:18, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
- Merge with the band then delete; there is no independent assertion that the album is notable apart from the band. Michig is misreading WP:MUSIC#Albums by fogetting to read the word "may" before "have sufficient notability". Like "Jimmy Hoffa may come walking through my door bringing me $1,000,000 in cash". And alas, both "may"s resolve to "no". Carlossuarez46 21:51, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
