Let's analyze the Albums sections line by line.


 * All articles on albums or songs must meet the basic criteria at the notability guidelines.

Again I ask why? So far no one has a giver a rationale for this at all. If the artist is notable his projects are notable. I argue that this really should cite verifiable not notable.


 * 'In general, if the musician or ensemble that recorded an album is considered notable, then officially released albums may have sufficient notability to have individual articles on Wikipedia.''

'''

"In general" and "May have", without explaining the criteria involved this vague line is meaningless.


 * Individual articles on albums should include independent coverage.

If we establish that notability is with the artist then this is not as much of an issue.


 * 'Demos, mixtapes, bootlegs and promo-only records are in general not notable.''

'''

So far has been zero rationale given for this statement that is limiting content. This is stepping into policy area. Articles on projects by notable artists are themselves notable and as long as they pass WP:V and other policies they should be allowed in the project.


 * 'unreleased albums can be notable if they have substantial coverage in reliable sources.''

'''

This line actually contradicts policy. It contradicts WP:Crystal.


 * 'Album articles with little more than a track listing may be more appropriately merged into the artist's main article, space permitting.''

'''

This is a style issue and has nothing to do with notability and should not be covered here.
