Electric Honey (Partland Brothers album)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Inadequately referenced article about an album whose strongest real notability claim is that it exists. The fact that a band may have an article about them as a band does not mean that each of their albums automatically inherits an inclusion freebie as a separate topic, but the only other real basis for notability here is that it grazed the bottoms of the album charts in Canada (#92) and the United States (#146), which are not high enough chart positions to deem the album "inherently" notable on that basis in the absence of any other evidence. The sourcing here isn't impressive, either: there's one very short blurb of an album review (which is not substantive enough to carry a WP:GNG pass all by itself), its own primary source buy-it page on iTunes (which is not a notability-assisting source) and the nominal verification of one of its unexceptional chart positions -- and even when I refimproved the band's article the other day, I found virtually no coverage at all that would bolster the notability of the album: the band's initial coverage was entirely in the context of the modestly popular (but not a megahit) single "Soul City" rather than the whole album, and then after that they jumped straight to the "one-hit wonders try for comeback" phase of their careers without the album itself getting any non-trivial attention at all. Basically, there's just no substantive reason why the album needs its own standalone article independently of having its title listed in the band's discography.

 * Merge are redirect to The Partland Brothers. While it may well have received print coverage from its time of release that is not available online, there isn't sufficient basis for an article at this time. The chart position and maybe the cited description of the album could be added to the band article. --Michig (talk) 10:02, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge with article on The Partland Brothers - the article on the album does not say much apart from the fact this article was the Partland Brothers' debut album and track listing. Vorbee (talk) 20:04, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
