This has been merrily edit-warred over since start of the year, bouncing to redirect and back. A clear decision seems desirable. For my money, seems to fail WP:NALBUM. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 13:54, 7 February 2018 (UTC) Elmidae (talk · contribs) 13:54, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep. I notice this was redirected on the basis that it "fails WP:NALBUMS" - I wonder on what basis that conclusion was arrived at. I have never heard of the album or the musician, but a few minutes searching found coverage from Jazz Times, Billboard, VOA, and from a Highbeam search, New Pittsburgh Courier and The Commercial Appeal, to add to the Allmusic review already cited in the article. It was also no. 1 on the Billboard Jazz Albums chart and no. 53 on the Billboard 200 . I would say it's quite clearly notable. --Michig (talk) 16:34, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep – Meets WP:NALBUM as per a review of available sources. North America1000 17:13, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep – The nominator should have done some more research before doing the AfD, and would have noticed the extremely notable fact that it was a #1 album. Article merely needs to be improved with the sources found by Michig above. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 20:50, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Eh, I only started this to give a basis for a decision on the ongoing edit war, in either direction. Ideally I just wouldn't have added a nominator position on this at all, since I know zip about music notability. Anyway, looks like clear state of affairs, so withdrawing, and any further edit-warring can be referred to this page. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 07:10, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
