Firecracker EP

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested redirect and PROD. Fails notability, either WP:GNG or WP:NALBUM. Redirect was contested so I suggest a complete deletion unless there is evidence that there are a lot of page views. Walter Görlitz (talk) 07:16, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Author Keep/Merge/Procedural Close. This is the wrong venue for the action the nominator is attempting to accomplish. He first redirected the article to the artist page; I reverted and suggested a merge to the artist article or to a unified discography article, since the current article is composed of encyclopedic discographical information, even if it's probably not enough to merit a stand-alone article (under current consensus rules). Rather than support a merge, the nominator moved on to PROD and now AfD the article. But deletion isn't a sensible action to take; even if the content is merged, it would still be desirable to leave a redirect to the artist discography. Chubbles (talk) 07:23, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * As I wrote on my talk page, when you moved the discussion from your talk page to mine against the edit notice on my page, you're welcome to move the unsourced content to wherever you want. The deletion discussions don't preclude that. What's not sensible is keeping an article that fails notability guidelines around just so someone can some day merge the content somewhere.

 * From whence this "move it or lose it" demand? I fail to see why the nominator feels justified in making demands of me as a volunteer under threat of deletion. I don't feel compelled to execute the merge myself, though he is welcome to do it. In any case, deletion is not a legitimate course of action to take here even if the article is judged non-notable; merging is, in that case. Chubbles (talk) 07:48, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment - I was able to find an AllMusic review, so its very existence can be sourced at least. I can't find anything else yet, so I can't warrant a "keep" yet, but I'd be against a "Delete" as well - its a plausible search term and has a source to verify some very basic info, so worst case scenario should be a redirect/merge scenario - it'd be easy to write a sentence or two about the release in the band's article.

 * Merge to Unwed Sailor. Unless more coverage can be found, there simply isn't enough to justify a separate article. --Michig (talk) 09:57, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge - As I mentioned above, I couldn't find enough to meet the WP:GNG, but its a plausible search term (its the band's first release) and there are some passing-mention Allmusic sources that can verify a few basic sentences about it at the band's article. Against outright deletion though. ("Page views" aren't a valid deletion rationale anyways.) Sergecross73   msg me  13:52, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Merge to Unwed Sailor per above comments. Aoba47 (talk) 15:24, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment I have merged to the content to Unwed Sailor and the new page Unwed Sailor discography. If the nominator has no objections, we can close this AfD and redirect this title to the discography page. Chubbles (talk) 01:30, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
