Brood (album)

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

Article makes no claim of having charted, and no sources are provided, such as the usual reviews. Band itself is of questionable notability. Blast Ulna (talk) 10:56, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: The guidelines at Notability (music) certainly allow for Wiki articles on albums by musicians that meet the basic criteria at WP:N. My Friend the Chocolate Cake has its own Wiki article and has a series of albums that were released by a major Australian label. The band is critically acclaimed, has its own reference in Ian McFarlane's Encyclopedia of Australia Rock and Pop (ISBN 1 86449 768) and also has strong links to Not Drowning, Waving, another important Australian musical act with a series of major label releases. The nomination suggests My Friend the Chocolate Cake has "questionable notability", but offers no support for this suggestion. The AfD nomination seems to have been sparked by my removal of an obsolete sources tag on the Brood entry. The nominator has chosen not to engage in discussion on the talk page for the article.

 * Comment the band having their own Wikipedia article (unsourced but for their own website), and also have no sign of a song that charted hardly seems proof of notability of one of their albums. If the tag is obsolete, you may propose that it be deleted so people won't be confused into using it. Blast Ulna (talk) 11:20, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, official albums by notable bands are notable. Lankiveil (complaints) 12:30, 12 February 2008 (UTC).
 * I disagree, and how do we define official? Blast Ulna (talk) 12:44, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Nomination withdrawn, sources now provided. Blast Ulna (talk) 12:44, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
