Crimson (Nanase Aikawa album)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

An article that hasn't been sourced since its 2007 creation. I can't find any sources that seem to mention this album so I propose either a deletion or a redirect to Nanase Aikawa Onegreatjoke (talk) 19:14, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment: It's worth noting that this album apparently charted #1 on the Oricon Albums Chart. I don't know how to find that info on Oricon's website but it appears to say it charted here, and I found the initial claim here, though the unreliability of the latter is likely. I'd also hold this off until someone takes a look through Japanese sources, it seems unlikely this crossed over but coverage from publications like Oricon must exist if it really charted that well.

 * Keep. This album sold over 737,000 copies in 1998 (#36 for the year in Japan) including selling 388,000 copies in its first week, debuting at #1. Page 8-9 of this should start to clarify the notability of the album, since it is listed as double platinum already in July 1998. This article says it ended up selling over a million copies, and notes that it hit number one. A lot of sources for this kind of thing are offline, and finding reliable sources verifying this is advisable, but searching for native language sources before nominating is beneficial.

 * Keep. The album is notable but the article as it stands either needs expansion or redirecting - we shouldn't have album articles that contain nothing more than tracklists. --Michig (talk) 14:08, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep Not sourced right now =/= not notable enough for an article. AfD is not for punishing articles for not being cleaned up yet. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 01:03, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets WP:NALBUM with sources presented above. They're reliable and in-depth enough IMV. SBKSPP (talk) 02:31, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
