 * Deleteunable to find any serious WP:RS coverage for the album --Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 18:34, 18 September 2011 (UTC) Support Redirect per TPH below; was not thorough enough with this !vote as I did not search the artist. --Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 00:56, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Kaci Brown. The artist article was redirected to the album in April for a WP:PUTEFFORT failure, but further digging shows that the artist herself meets WP:MUSIC by having a Top 10 hit on the U.S. Dance/Club Play chart. I have restored the Kaci Brown article with a source indicating the chart positions. Ten Pound Hammer and company • (Otters want attention) 00:42, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not going to drag this out too far as this is not a discussion about the Brown article, but WP:MUSIC only says charting may make an artist notable. I personally would like to see more reliable sources demonstrating her notability. IMO going top ten on a chart where some relatively low-notability artists and songs have gone #1 in the past doesn't demonstrate a lot of notability to me, especially when it isn't the main chart for said country. –Chase (talk / contribs) 01:48, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * The Allmusic biography is a pretty authoritative source, wouldn't you say? Ten Pound Hammer and company • (Otters want attention) 01:49, 19 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep – I've added multiple sources just now. There's significant coverage in multiple newspapers, enough to meet the general notability guideline. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 03:05, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per Paul Erik. Ten Pound Hammer and company • (Otters want attention) 03:25, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep – Per reliable sources now in the article that establish notability of the topic. Northamerica1000 (talk) 15:05, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment – It appears that the nominator may not have followed the guidelines listed in WP:BEFORE for source searching prior to nominating this article for deletion, which, if true, nullifies the basis of nomination for deletion. There's no mention in the nomination regarding the availability of reliable sources. As it's worded, the nomination's basis, along with the nominator's comment afterward, is upon opinion, rather than upon searching for reliable sources, as required per WP:BEFORE requirements.

 * Delete - not notable album. No notable singles off the album, no notable sales figures, no notability in any way. Redirect/merge to the low notable singer. Off2riorob (talk) 15:47, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets GNG. It only has to meet the GNG OR the secondary guidelines, not both.   D r e a m Focus  20:13, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
