 * Delete per WP:NALBUM. Binksternet (talk) 06:46, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Boney M. discography and PROTECT against reversion. For the exact reasons as stated by everyone at the affiliated Articles for deletion/Ma Baker (album). ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 01:28, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Since there hasn't been an attempt to redirect this article before I started this AfD, I do not believe protection will be necessary. It will be useful to stop any IPs of WP:LTA/HANOI, including the current protection, but that's it. Jalen Folf   (talk)  05:39, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
 * True, but I would not be surprised if the usual shenanigans with Boney M compilations start happening with this one after we redirect direct it for the first time. But I admit that my call for justice before the crime even happens doesn't constitute due process. We may see this album in the AfD list again... consider my premature accusation of a crime to be a prediction instead. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 14:29, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree with Doomsdayer that the redirect will need to be given indefinite extended confirmed protection (ECP). JalenFolf, the Hanoi vandal has visited this article 15 times in the last two months. You yourself have reverted the vandal two of those times. The vandal will convert the redirect to an article as soon as is possible; you can see that Special:Contributions/27.72.131.220 performed that type of action on January 24 and again on January 25: edit warring to restore an article. It's what they do. Wikipedia commonly protects articles in expectation of vandalism, prior to the act. For instance, the Today's featured article is always move protected by Special:Contributions/TFA Protector Bot prior to it appearing on the Main Page, and its images are likewise protected.

 * Redirect to Boney M. discography, and a protect may be necessary, given past behaviour. Another unremarkable Boney M. compilation, which I think was originally released only in Germany, so even print coverage from 1984 is likely to be zero. Richard3120 (talk) 14:02, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
