Fails all of the criteria of WP:WikiProject Classical music/Guidelines. -- Softlavender (talk) 20:47, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Albums and songs-related deletion discussions. Shellwood (talk) 20:49, 18 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete. note that it also fails WP:NALBUM and WP:COPYVIO. The main bulk of the article consists of long paraphrases of critics reviews - these are certainly violations of copyright.Smerus (talk) 07:01, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. The criteria in WP:WikiProject Classical music/Guidelines is from an essay by a WikiProject and does not carry the broad support of wikipedia policy. Further, this guideline section is currently being considered for removal for WP:NPOV concerns, as well as its conflict with the policy at WP:NALBUM.4meter4 (talk) 01:18, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per criteria 1 of WP:NALBUM. In addition to the Gramaphone review cited in the article, I found this review in The New York Times, and this scholarly article by musicologist Michael Brago on the album published in the journal Eighteenth-Century Studies, Vol. 17, No. 3 (Spring, 1984), pp. 308-332. There's certainly a lot of material from that article that would be encyclopedic, and it demonstrates that the recording was an important one.4meter4 (talk) 15:59, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:NALBUM. The article's COPYVIO issue has now been addressed - brief quotes from reviews will be supplied in due course. The album was the first major recording of the opera and is of fundamental importance in its discography.
