Bass Player

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

After a good faith search for references to show notability, I've come to the conclusion that this is a non-notable album by a non-notable group. Part of the problem may be that the album's name "Bass Player" and the group's name "Rhombus" both bring up a lot of unrelated hits when searching. So, is this notable? &mdash; LinguistAtLarge • Talk  16:24, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Bassist as a plausible search term. - Lilac Soul (talk • contribs • count) 19:00, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Despite the fact that this is CLEARLY eligible for speedy deletion per album, that was declined because it's in AFD, so here I am registering my opinion that it spectacularly fails WP:NALBUMS. For future reference, nominator, if the artist is redlinked, use album—it's much quicker! TheJazzDalek (talk) 19:52, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - actually, now that I think about it, Bass Player (magazine) should be at Bass Player. &mdash; LinguistAtLarge • Talk  19:53, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep: The album Bass Player (special Edition) by Rhombus has been listed for 7 weeks on the NZ Albums Top 40. Award nominated: Other sources:   Consider a move to Bass Player (album) to make space for a redirect to bassist. -- Avant-garde a clue - hexa  Chord 2  19:57, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment if this article is kept, the page it is currently on should be a disambig, not a redirect: we have 3 choices - this article, bassist and Bass Player (magazine). JulesH (talk) 20:39, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Bassist -Drdisque (talk) 19:58, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per HexaChord: band appears notable, and consensus is we keep articles on notable bands' albums. JulesH (talk) 20:39, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per HexaChord. We should probably undelete the article on the band, which was speedied despite a claim on the talk page that they had won numerous awards.- gadfium 20:46, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and name change to Bass Player (album). It passes notability per HexaChord. Here's some more ref's too; from Charts.org.nz, Muzic.net.nz, and there's more than enough to fill out the article. I'd recommend that this page redirect to bassist as this is the most common meaning of the word, and there is already a hatnote to Bass player magazine there. I'll put my hand up and volunteer to write the Rhombus (band) article too.    Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 22:36, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Nomination withdrawn - Good job hexaChord, you found what I was unable to find. &mdash; LinguistAtLarge • Talk  22:48, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Note - I moved this article to Bass Player (album). &mdash; LinguistAtLarge • Talk  22:53, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * This needs to be closed, could some passing admin please do the honours?— S Marshall  Talk / Cont  23:06, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
