The result was Moot. Hmmm, due to an apparent misunderstanding, when I recently closed WP:Articles for deletion/The John Birch Conspiracy Theory, I included Faction (Botch album) in the consensus. Fortunately, it looks like the discussion here is pretty much the same as the discussion there, so I'm going to close this as moot. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:19, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Faction (Botch album)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Majority of existing sources in the article fail WP:RS and WP:ALBUM/SOURCE criteria, particularly Discogs and Rateyourmusic, which both feature largely or entirely user-generated content. Due to this lack of significant coverage from reliable sources, the subject fails both WP:GNG and WP:NALBUM notability criteria. On a personal note, I spent a year researching the artist of this album to expand their Wikipedia page and do not believe it could ever be expanded beyond a stub-class article. My attempt to redirect was contested, so I am taking it to AFD. I have also nominated The John Birch Conspiracy Theory for deletion for similar reasons. Fezmar9 (talk) 02:50, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Merge this, plus several other articles, to a Botch discography. See the other AFD. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 20:26, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

I agree with creating an article for Botch's discography; however, I do not believe this page should be deleted. A discography page would not be suitable for some information that a page dedicated to the actual album/EP would contain. More information could become available, with better sources, at a future date. The article should remain, unless it becomes stagnant for a long period of time.

 * Redirect both to Botch (band), merge or create a new discography spin out at discretion, refs in the article are listings etc and nothing on google. Szzuk (talk) 08:47, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
