The result was, umm, weak keep. I was ambivalent about closing this as 'no consensus' or about re-listing it once more, but thought a 'weak keep' was better rather than to 'keep (another) week' for discussions. No prejudice against an early renomination if stronger sources cannot be found. (non-admin closure) Lourdes  04:38, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

Emperor (debut EP)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Basically an (unsourced) track listing. "Sources" are limited to a metal music archive which may not be RS. Nothing exists in the form of indepth reviews or other forms of secondary coverage. TheGracefulSlick (talk) 00:46, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Ha, funny – the redirects Emperor (EP) and Emperor (album) point to Emperor (band) instead of this article. No different than a thousand other examples of content dumping, really. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions  01:55, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak keep - brief mention in this book. [] Sourcing could be improved though. Not being a fan of death metal, I'm not sure how notable they were. I know that notability is not inherited, but if they're notable enough to be on the site (their article seems to have enough sourcing), I'm going to go with weak keep for this EP.

 * Weak keep - Note that this band is considered to be very important in the history of European black metal and their early work is often described as highly influential, but typically in books like Sound of the Beast by Ian Christe plus the one found by TimTempleton. However, that might be better said at the band's article and I do realize that this album must stand on its own to qualify for a separate article. Despite the album's importance for knowledgeable fans, I cannot find specific mentions beyond the AllMusic and Metal Archives sources that are already listed, but TimTempleton is correct that this might be enough for a stub article. Also, if the article survives it should be Moved to "Emperor (album)" or "Emperor (1993 album)", the first of which is already redirected. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 14:29, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
