Non-notable, unsourced. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:14, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment for the Nominator- you have been nominating a lot of album articles for deletion lately, but you have to say more than just "non-notable" as your reason. See WP:ITSNOTABLE. Here you have given absolutely no reason for why you think the album in question is non-notable. And just because the article is "unsourced" does not automatically mean it should be deleted. That's what edit tags are for, to encourage improvement by the WP community. As far as I can tell, being unsourced is only a good reason for deletion if the article is a biography of a living person. Give an article a chance for community improvement before deletion, or if you think it should be deleted, you could at least say why. D OOMSDAYER 520  (Talk|Contribs) 17:41, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment That's true. What I had in mind was "this article is assumed non-notable as an unreleased album per WP:MUSIC and no sources demonstrate its notability," but that's not being communicated with pithy AfDs. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:53, 26 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep - definitely a notable artist, the album has been reviewed at Allmusic here, it was definitely released, reached #22 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart and has been mentioned in some independent news sources in the hip-hop business, which can be found pretty easily with a Google search. More WP:BEFORE work should have been done on this one. The article needs improvement, not deletion.  D OOMSDAYER 520  (Talk|Contribs) 17:56, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Coverage and chart placing easily demonstrate notability.--Michig (talk) 18:01, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Note - I just noticed that the article was in the "Unreleased Albums" category, which was wrong. I have removed that category. D OOMSDAYER 520  (Talk|Contribs) 18:30, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
