"Industry Standard" "What If (album)" "Free Fall (album)" "Night of the Living Dregs"
NN. Delete, and merge. While I respect the notability of the producing band, I don't feel the individual albums are notable enough to warrant their own individual pages, and that short summaries within the main article about The Dregs could achieve the same aim as this article. Other bands, for instance the Beatles, have individual albums well-known enough to be notable on their own, and are widely analyzed by music professionals for content, both musical and lyrical. While I don't insinuate that the Dregs' album is devoid of either of those, I'm doubting there are published, peer-reviewed sources available that provide such information, as a result of the album's non-notability.

 * Keep all. The artist is notable, the albums are generally notable. 13k hits on google. Bada beep, betty boop.-Kmaguir1 02:34, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep all per precedents. A merge is also possible but that does not seem to be the current way to do things. In any case deletion is not an option. Pascal.Tesson 13:08, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'm not calling this a bad faith nomination, but it is clear that there is no chance of deleting these albums. Erechtheus 21:14, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * How could it be considered a bad faith nomination? I found the original article through the random article tab, it's non notable, so I threw it up for deletion. Shazbot85 Talk 01:39, 5 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep... you're kidding... right? We have thousands upon thousands of album articles by bands far less notable than The Dixie Dregs.  Even if these were deleted now, someone would come around and re-create them eventually.  -/- Warren 22:51, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Of course I'm kidding. Keep the condescension to a minimum and disagree with me civily. Shazbot85 Talk 03:34, 3 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment Never heard of the band, but they do appear prolific and notable. It also appears that the general culture of deprecation of "notability by association" does not apply to albums for some reason.  Personally I think as the only 4 with articles these particular albums could stand to be merged as sub-sections into the band article, but I'm not casting a vote in either direction.
