Dru Down (album)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article about an album makes no claim of notability ( and I can find no reliable sources to help that issue ). As it is little more than a track list, per album notability criteria, I attempted to redirect the article to the article about the rapper, Dru Down. That was reverted however, so I'm bringing it here for further discussion as to whether it's notable enough for its own article. Raven1977 (talk) 01:28, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I am adding two additional articles for albums by the same rapper, both have the same issues as Dru Down (album):

 * Keep Dru Down is clearly a notable artist, having made it to the billboard charts several times, these albums may not have charted, but deleting these articles would create a hole in a notable artists discography, after all there are hundreds of albums on wikipedia that did not reach the charts, especially greatest hits albums.

 * If he's charted then why doesn't his article say so? Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 04:23, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Those albums of his that have charted are indeed notable, and that's why I didn't nominate them. The articles in this nomination however have little information other than a track list, and since there is already a discography section in the article Dru Down which mentions all of their titles, there is nothing important lost by deleting their articles. And as for your assertion that there are other articles for non-notable albums on Wikipedia, that's probably true, but irrelevant to this discussion. Please see WP:OTHERSTUFF.
