Dig Your Roots

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not notable per WP:NALBUMS, no secondary sourcing found. Deprodded to suggest merging, but I would rather this be deleted to make way for the upcoming Florida Georgia Line album of the same name. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 00:39, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
 * No, I deprodded it because it shouldn't be deleted. I suggested merging as a "worst case scenario".  If you'd waited a minute, I added to the talk page two reviews in relevant publications, and references to one of the issues in the series charting in CMJ.  This series is notable in a Canadian campus & community radio context if nothing else.  I also like that you're basing your deletion choice on a completely different topic. - BalthCat (talk) 00:47, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
 * The sources you've shown are likely. I couldn't find any more sources on my own. Even if this is kept, I still think the FGL album should get the title per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, as someone searching for "Dig Your Roots" is far more likely to be looking for a major-label album by an A-list act with several #1 hits.

 * Keep. I also found these:, , , . A merge to National Campus and Community Radio Association would be difficult without losing a lot of the content or giving this undue weight in that article. A discussion on primary topic can take place when the other album exists. --Michig (talk) 08:24, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep for now. The article may have the sources to pass notability now, and once the Florida Georgia Line album is released, should be either disambiguated or speedy deleted per CSD G6 (to make way for move). Hx7 17:50, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
 * For the record, this was created at a very different time in Wikipedia's history — a decade ago, sources did not need to be cited anywhere as extensively as they do now, and in fact a thing's own primary source website about itself was considered acceptable sourcing in and of itself. Those rules have changed, as well they should have — but in addition to the improved sources already pointed out by the above commenters, I've also found numerous usable sources in a ProQuest Canadian Newsstand Major Dailies search, which means that the sourcing needed to get this back up to contemporary requirements does exist. I've already reffed it up and located the track listing for the jazz album which never had that added. Certainly this should be moved to a disambiguated title — a band as famous as Florida Georgia Line obviously trumps this for primary topic rights, but that's a reason to move this to a dabbed title so FGL can have the plain one, not a reason to delete this outright. Keep, and move to a disambiguated title so that Dig Your Roots (album), clearly the more notable topic, can be moved to the plain title. Bearcat (talk) 21:59, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
 *  Keep, move, redirect or hatnote - Keep, move to "Dig Your Roots (National Campus and Community Radio Association album)", "Dig Your Roots (compilation album)", redirect to National Campus and Community Radio Association, or move the FGL album to this title and create a hatnote. --Jax 0677 (talk) 23:08, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
