 * "Balladeering" means what a balladeer does, for centuries before this album was recorded. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:00, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose per WP:ASTONISH and WP:MOVE. This Danish jazz album's claim to pass WP:NMUSIC is based on being part of a trilogy of jazz albums by the Danish guitarist shortlisted, but didn't win, the Nordic Council Music Prize 2014. Okay so deserves a stub. But look at Google Books, Page 7 of about 2,850 results (0.17 seconds), wheras the album gets zero mentions, 0. That then leaves us with Balladeer being the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC of Balladeering and WP:CRITERIA and WP:NCM requiring (album) for an obscure Danish jazz album.

 * Oppose per IIO above. -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 08:40, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Support. Wikipedia is WP:NOTADICTIONARY. There is no other topic on WP called "Balladeering". And Balladeer itself is just a short disambiguation page. Why make Balladeering a redirect to a dab page when we have an actual article with content at that title? Also - since this article was recently moved without discussion, a no consensus result here means a revert to the previous status quo. Dohn joe (talk) 15:59, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
 * But we have an article, what's the issue? Ballad isn't that an article? Looks like an article to me. Why is Balladeering not part of Ballad or Balladeer? Wikipedia is not a dictionary doesn't mean topics have to be titles. See hurricane as the classic example. Would we have Hurricane be an article about a trivial subject or a redirect?

 * Oppose. I've corrected the primary topic - it should have been Ballad, not Balladeer. Peter James (talk) 02:18, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Opposed Not primary topic, as per IIO above.Tiggerjay (talk) 00:06, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
