Cursed Since Birth

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Non-notable audio release. No independent refs with indepth coverage. Peaking at 289 does not imply notability (and the ref supporting that claim is dead). PROD removed by IP. Stuartyeates (talk) 21:48, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep Cursed Since Birth should not be deleted - It's by a popular American Comedian and released on a mainstream label Island/Def Jam. The Release is as important as any comedy album released in  2012.  Duran's other two are listed on Wikipedia and Cursed Since Birth should be included.
 * I've included a couple additional refs and tagged it accordingly: How Embarrassing, Jeff “J.J. Star” Duran Is ‘Cursed Since Birth’ --JosephDann (talk • contribs) 21:49, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. The farcical claim that "is as important as any comedy album released in 2012" is not supported by any evidence. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:43, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Duffbeerformes reasons for this article being deleted doesn't come from a personal place.The later is a farcical claim, please don't delete because of Duffbeerforme's personal likes/dislikes in entertainment. The album is on a major label, the comedian is a twenty year legend, and it has made several best of 2012 album lists as provided in the refs. Somebody's personal hatred of this artist shouldn't be the deciding reason in this article's deletion. Please Don't Delete!--JosephDann (talk) 23:02, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - first, please see WP:MERCY and WP:ILIKEIT. Then have a read of WP:N and WP:V. I don't think this nom was created because of someone's "hatred" and suggesting as much is clearly not in the spirit of either WP:CIV or WP:FOC. There is a reference to the artist being listed as PeekYou's "most influential comic on the web" which I think is where the WP:ITSIMPORTANT assertion came from but this does not establish the notability of the album itself as notability is not inherited from the artist. There are no reviews of the album that I can find - certainly not from reliable, independent third parties. My view is that the subject fails WP:NALBUMS fairly clearly. It might be worth merging some of the content into the artist's article but a stand-alone article is not justified. Stalwart 111  (talk) 06:11, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
