 * Keep or Merge: In the context of The Brand New Heavies' discography, We Won't Stop is an important bridge between two major phases in the career of a band with well-established international acclaim. In transitioning from the end of a long tenure with a major label FFRR Records to their rebirth as independent artists, We Won't Stop documents a marked shift in personnel and musical style. These elements are apparent from easily accessible credits and sound samples of the now-widely-available catalog release. As well, it documents the genesis of 4 songs that would appear on the band's next two releases Allabouthefunk and Get Used to It in new configurations; you may consider merging the album into either of those articles to preserve this link. If the album were, for instance, only hand-printed and distributed in a small quantity at a run of live shows, I could understand the notability objection. However, it did receive a proper release and distribution through legitimate channels in 2002, and is now available worldwide digitally. Moreover, it includes contributions from singers N'Dea Davenport and Sy Smith who are notable in their own right. The combined significance to the careers of multiple independently notable artists lends the album notability.  Removing this info entirely would unnecessarily break continuity in all of their documented histories. There is, however, difficulty finding coverage on the album due to its initial release exclusively in Japan and Korea 10 years ago. It is very likely that there exists significant coverage in independent sources, but they may be neither readily available online nor available in English. This should not indicate a lack of notability. This entry should be kept and not deleted. Souldier77 (talk) 09:42, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
