Field Studies EP

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable album (EP). The band that recorded it is notable but the recording itself only provides one source that's not either self published or simply a retail listing of the EP. The one reference in the article from a source of arguable notability only mentions the recording in a biography of the band. Also, the recording has not charted anywhere that I can find (would have satisfied WP:MUSIC point 2). In short, it fails WP:N and WP:MUSIC. Ol Yeller '''Talktome 20:58, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - Albums by notable bands are, by default, notable. From the WP:MUSIC criteria: "In general, if the musician or ensemble that recorded an album is considered notable, then officially released albums may have sufficient notability to have individual articles on Wikipedia."
 * I withdraw my previous comment; as noted in the comment below, I misinterpreted the guideline. The statement I quoted deals with whether or not an album warrants a separate article, not the album's general notability. Thanks! Davnor (talk) 22:42, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. The keep comment above is simply mistaken; the relevant guideline states, "All articles on albums, singles or songs must meet the basic criteria at the notability guidelines, with significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."  The point of the sentence quoted above is that it is "officially released albums" that "may have sufficient notability to have individual articles," whereas "[d]emos, mixtapes, bootlegs, promo-only, and unreleased albums are in general not notable."  In this case, ordinarily I would suggest redirecting to the band's article, but this EP contains songs by two bands, which I'll presume are notable because they both have articles.  I see practically no coverage in newspapers, except for this Sarasota Herald-Tribune article, and, of all things, this in the Warsaw Business Journal.  However, there seem to be enough of the typical online reviews to warrant an article, especially taking into account that there's no single logical target to redirect this article's title.  Others are probably better at judging the significance of online reviews, though, so I may reconsider.   Glenfarclas   ( talk ) 21:53, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
