Hex (Poison Girls album)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Does not appear to pass WP:NALBUM. There have been no significant reviews that I have been able to locate in Newspapers.com or Rock Backpages. I have added the Newspapers.com one to the article, but it essentially just says that the album was "essentially one song" in an article not written about the album.

Rock Backpages only has 7 articles about the band, of which only one mentions the album and confirms the songs.

Trouser Press devoted a couple sentences to the album, saying that it "makes no grand statements" and that that liked its guitar. This is not a non-trivial review of the album.

AllMusic never reviewed the album, so I am confused as to why it would give it 2 stars. As disclosure, I removed a rating from Trouser Press that failed verification as the source never rated the album as was stated in the Wikipedia article.

Based on what I have been able to find, this article does not meet the bar of "multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble who created it." (1), never charted (see official charts having 0 results) (2), was certified gold (3), won a major award (4), performed on a notable medium (5), been on rotation that I can confirm with sources (6), or been "a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or television network" (7).

 * Keep. Though this was released in 1979, it was still selling well enough 2 years later to make the Independent Albums chart. It would certainly have received coverage at the time of its release, and there is coverage online, including a Pitchfork Review of a reissue, a Tinymixtapes review, as well as coverage in Matthew Worley's book No Future, and the aforementioned coverage in Trouser Press. --Michig (talk) 20:00, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep per Michig. Google books also has quality RS which can be used to meet WP:NALBUM and GNG. See, , . Best.4meter4 (talk) 23:43, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
