Art Blakey &amp; the Jazz Messengers (album)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Does not meet WP:NALBUMS can find no coverage of this album other than a remarkably brief Allmusic overview. Being that it's self-titled and over 50 years old it is difficult to search but I tried. The artist is notable but not enough for the album. J04n(talk page) 02:25, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete: A very comprehensive Art Blakey Catalog on JazzDisco doesn't list it with this name; neither does Jazz Discography.  There doesn't seem to be a Birdland (record label).  I'm not sure what the All Music Guide used to source their entry, but I'm not convinced.   Edward Vielmetti (talk) 03:19, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Another Blakey discography references a "Session 110" which could be this album in some form, but it doesn't provide an album cover. Edward Vielmetti (talk) 06:36, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, this is Hooray for Milt Jackson John Lewis Art Blakey Kenny Dorham on the jazz label Session, Disc #110. Two cuts with Blakey's group: Kenny Dorham, Lou Donaldson, Horace Silver and Gene Ramey recorded at Birdland October 31, 1953. Session brought out a series of "Hooray For..." discs recording groups playing live. Here is #116, Blakey again. 86.40.51.139 (talk) 15:35, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
 * There is an encyclopedic (truly) account of The Session Label written by © John Holley, Konrad Nowakowski, Robert L. Campbell, & Robert Pruter, 2008; I don't see this on it, though, and it's hard to know if this is the same label. Edward Vielmetti (talk) 21:25, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
 * which looks like Wikipedia is missing the notable Phil Featheringill who ran that label... Edward Vielmetti (talk) 21:28, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Here is the cover of Session Disc 110 on a Yahoo Japan auction, so it's real. Edward Vielmetti (talk) 21:41, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Despite his having a highly notable band, there remains the requirement for verifiability for an album of questionable existence. Per the above, if it was not noted, it is not notable. Additionally. I searched Google News Archive for any evidence of such an album and did not find it. Its existence remains uncertain, and there is no9 evidence it was a notable album.

 * Merge to Art Blakey. This is a notable band, so merge the information to the relevant page. Tavix | Talk  16:57, 23 December 2009 (UTC)


 * weak keep if deleted it would be one of 5 out of 32 Blakely albums without an article. needs to be expanded though, it's 1958 for Bluenote. Pohick2 (talk) 00:26, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
 * note to Pohick2; I applaud you trying to save this article but the info that you are adding is for a different album titled The Jazz Messengers (see the 1956 album vs. the 1953 album), I nearly did the same thing before I nominated the article. J04n(talk page) 01:01, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
