Game Time

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable recording, fails WP:NALBUM, WP:SIGCOV. There was a claim that it sold 2,500,000 copies, but the fact was not in the source provided, wherefore it has been removed. Lordtobi ( &#9993; ) 09:29, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep: the sales figure is certainly nonsense, and the Entertainment Weekly review no longer has its rating, but the AllMusic and Rolling Stone reviews still do and are reliable, and it has charted on two Billboard charts... that's enough to pass WP:NALBUM.

 * PS It looks as though the title of this album ought to be Gametime, not Game Time. Richard3120 (talk) 16:52, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
 * It's actually kind of weird, both AllMusic and Rolling Stone use both spellings at different points of the same review. They even handle it differently in how they do it too. AllMusic calls it Gametime as the database entry, and Game Time in the review prose, while Rolling Stone calls it Game Time in the database entry, and Gametime in the review prose. I'm not sure which one is correct, but since there's already a completely separate article at Gametime, it may be preferred to keep it at its current name as to not have to add disambiguation to things, per WP:NATURALDIS.

 * Keep - meets WP:NALBUMS and the WP:GNG. The album was released on a major record label, charted on multiple major charts, and had two notable charting singles. Additionally, AllMusic, Rolling Stone, and Entertainment Weekly are all reliable sources per WP:RSMUSIC. Given the characteristics above, and the fact that the album was released in 2002, when music sources were still sometimes locked away in print magazines, makes me think it's reasonable to think there's more sourcing out there as well.
