As I Am (Kristin Chenoweth album)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This was for a while a redirect to artist, which I felt was a good idea. This doesn't seem to gave charted or attracted many reviews - everything is on Allmusic and the other source given, the obscure crosswalk.com doesn't convince me it tips into notability.

 * Comment crosswalk.com is not obscure. I redirected the article originally. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:44, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment. The album did reach one of the Billboard charts, albeit apparently not the main album chart. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:57, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep - charting establishes prima facie notability - David Gerard (talk) 01:04, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment It would need to chart in the right kind of chart, and I'm not convinced on this one (but it's not an area I'm well-versed in). TO meet WP:NALBUM it also needs more than just to chart: All articles on albums, singles or other recordings must meet the basic criteria at the notability guidelines, with significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Boleyn (talk) 07:18, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Chenoweth herself has scored a No. 50 on the main Top 200. I wouldn't object to a redirect noting the chart performance - David Gerard (talk) 09:13, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. A person just added a couple of reviews, from a Buffalo paper and a Florida paper; they're not online but let's assume they're a paragraph long. Then there's the Crosswalk and AllMusic reviews -- longer, but in a more specialized venue. This is probably enough to meet WP:NALBUMS #1, I think. Then Billboard has a notice that it opened at #50 on the album charts (whether it went higher I don't know), so that's maybe WP:NALBUMS #2 (I don't know if "appeared on any country's national music chart" means as low as #50, but for songs it goes down to #100, and the "any country" is America, a particularly populous and wealthy country). All in all I think it meets our album notability standards. Herostratus (talk) 17:53, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep – I would tend to agree that this meet WP:NALBUMS #1. There is non-trival coverage in The Buffalo News, The Ledger, Allmusic, as well as Detroit News. I don't have full-text access to that last one, but its particulars are: Henrickson, Eric (April 15, 2005). "Kristin Chenoweth, As I Am (Sony Classical)", Detroit News, p. E7. Furthermore, the crosswalk.com article was also published in print as Cumbee, Jim (June 2005). "In Review: Music – Kristin Chenoweth: As I Am", CCM Magazine 27 (12): 66.
