$1,000,000 Worth of Twang

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

I'm hesitant regarding this one. Given the amount of hits and the charting this album did, I figured it'd be easier to find coverage, but I couldn't. I saw dozens of books recording its chart placement, but the only prose aside from that pitifully short AllMusic review is in this book from 2011, and even that might only be a passing mention (I can't access the whole book to tell). I imagine this is more a case of non-digitized coverage than lack thereof, but I can't leave the page as is and I don't like just leaving a WP:DRIVEBY tag and hoping someone else takes care of it eventually. So I bring it here. If nothing's found and it has to go, my vote is to redirect to Duane_Eddy. QuietHere (talk) 07:00, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep. Passes WP:NALBUMS, prong 2, for having "appeared on any country's national music chart." In this case, $1,000,000 Worth of Twang not only appeared on the U.S. pop album chart, it went all the way to No. 10 and stayed on the chart for nine weeks. Moreoover, Duane Eddy was an early inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and is recognized as one of the most influential guitarists in history. This album is one of only two Duane Eddy albums to enter the Top 10. Coverage on pre-internet albums is difficult to find, but we do have the four-and-a-half star review from AllMusic, and strong passage of prong 2 of NALBUMS by a legendary artist. If we remain serious about maintaining Wikipedia as an encyclopedia of notable music, the foregoing should be sufficient to keep. Cbl62 (talk) 09:57, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I've now also added several sources to the article such that it now also appears to pass NALBUMS, prong 1 and WP:GNG. Would you consider withdrawing the nom at this point? Cbl62 (talk) 10:40, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @Cbl62 In fact I have considered it and I agree that this should be withdrawn. Thanks for your work. QuietHere (talk) 12:05, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * And thank you for your open mind. The end result is a much-improved article. Good outcome. Cbl62 (talk) 12:08, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
