12:34 (Needles//Pins album)

Fails WP:NALBUM The album doesn't appear to have entered the charts anywhere, there is nothing about sales, of the 3 reviews 1 is a blog another describes itself as a zine (difficult to mesure its readership but it has less than 3k followers on FB) the other is also difficult to assess its audience but has 6k followers on FB and 8k on twitter. there is not enough information here to warrant an article and the information should be merged into the artist page IMHO Domdeparis (talk) 09:10, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. Per WP:NALBUMS, albums are not automatically entitled to Wikipedia just because they and the band that created them exist — they must have a concrete claim of notability, such as charting, and the articles have to cite reliable source coverage about the albums, such as reviews in major newspapers and music magazines on the order of Exclaim! or Rolling Stone. But that's not what's on offer here; the closest thing to a reliable source is Southern Souls, which isn't that close because it's not a music magazine, but primarily an archive of live performance videos. And, for that matter, even the band's notability per WP:NMUSIC is questionable at best — the only notability criterion it's really even trying for is "media coverage exists", but the media coverage it cites is all too blurbish to slamdunk that.

 * You are correct. The album does not meet any criteria in WP:NALBUM. Thanks. AlexMichal (talk) 1:25, 11 May 2017 (PST)
