3's a Charm

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The page is sourced entirely to AllMusic/Discogs/Amazon etc. I looked for RS and couldn't find anything covering it. The content does contain a claim to notability under WP:NMUSIC criterion 6 - that a song from the album was in rotation on radio stations - but the assertion is unsourced (and I'm not clear on whether notability for the album would be inherited from a single anyway). I considered redirecting to the band, but we appear not to have an article on them. If reliable sources can be found I'd be happy to withdraw. Girth Summit  (blether) 20:18, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment - By policy the album should probably be speedy deleted because there is no article for the group. The existence of the group and this album are mentioned at the article for their one notable member, Jaimee Foxworth and that should be enough. And just to make things confusing, there is a different group also called S.H.E. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 13:25, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
 * doomsdayer520 Can you expand on that? NMUSIC says that an album does not need to be by a notable artist or ensemble to merit a standalone article if it meets the general notability guideline. I assumed it would need to come here for discussion of GNG, but if there's a policy that says albums by bands without article should be CSDed, I'd like to know for future reference.

 * I was thinking of Speedy Deletion Rule A9, which says: This applies to any article about a musical recording or list of musical recordings where none of the contributing recording artists has an article and that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant (both conditions must be met). This is distinct from questions of verifiability and reliability of sources, and is a lower standard than notability. ...... Traditionally, this has meant that if the musician does not have an article, their albums are considered non-notable and can be deleted immediately. This can create a conflict with the NMUSIC rule that you cited, but I think that for this particular album, there is now a tougher imperative for finding notability. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 15:19, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks for that - I see what you're getting at. One to remember. Cheers Girth Summit  (blether)  17:52, 25 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. If the single really meets NMUSIC criterion 6, then it should have an article, but I don't believe that the album should inherit that notability. signed,Rosguill talk 00:05, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
