Lifer (Lifer album)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Non notable recording. Only cited to an AllMusic review, in a WP:BEFORE search I could find no other promising sources. Does not pass WP:GNG or WP:NALBUM. Schminnte (talk • contribs) 13:00, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment - Please note that this article came out in 2001. Internet coverage of things like this largely started up later in the 2000s. This album was released on a major record label, and was getting coverage on MTV at the time. An album like this almost certainly has coverage locked away in print media.

 * Redirect to Lifer (band). To contradict my esteemed colleague Sergecross above, this album did indeed get an AllMusic review (already cited), but I can find nothing else to indicate contemporary media notice when the album was released. Via a Google Books search, the only result I can find is a very brief mention in a 2002 book called Brave Nu World (a history of the genre that focuses on far more successful bands). I can find nothing in contemporary newspapers though others will stronger database skills may find something. I found a few mentions of the album in articles about the band's middle-aged reunion 20 years later but it's still just introductory:, , . It's a close call but I simply don't think there's much to work with for a full album article, so my recommendation is to redirect. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 15:26, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
