Can't find enough in-depth coverage to show it meets WP:GNG. Was redirected to artist, but editor insists on recreating.  Onel 5969  TT me 12:16, 4 March 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗  plicit  13:01, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
 * David Mead's sixth and seventh albums — Dudes (2011) and Cobra Pumps (2019), respectively — were self-released, which means that press coverage and reviews were harder to come by than when he was on labels like RCA earlier in his career. Until January of this year, Mead's Wikipedia page contained few citations, and the same was true of the pages for his pre-2011 albums. I've attempted to remedy that situation, as you'll see in the various pages' "View history" tabs, and will continue to do so, and I created pages for Dudes and Cobra Pumps so that his entire discography is represented. In my opinion, these pages shouldn't be deleted or "redirected" to Mead's page. I promise I'm not trying to be difficult. Addred85 (talk) 13:26, 4 March 2022 (UTC)Addred85

 * Redirect to David Mead (musician). Fails WP:NALBUM per nom. The sources in the article are primary. SBKSPP (talk) 01:19, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Redirect to David Mead (musician). My search found only blogs, user-generated content, and other unreliable sources. This album does not appear to meet WP:NALBUM or the GNG, although a redirect to Mead's article is a reasonable (and cheap) alternative to deletion. I understand that the lack of sourcing may be due to the self-published nature of the album, but coverage in reliable sources is really the only metric we have to gauge whether something belongs in the encyclopedia: without it, it unfortunately just isn't possible to write an article that meets our guidelines.
