Michael & Miranda

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Reviewed under new article curation process. No indication of wp:notability. 3 of the 4 references just to to the press-release wording. No content other than material from the record jacket. Suggest merging into the band's article. North8000 (talk) 12:49, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - There's a Trouser Press entry online as well, so that's 3 good refs. For a 1980 album, there would also be older print material, which--as an AfD keep rationale--gets old, but is still true.  My personal opinion, which the closer is obviously free to ignore, is that merging album articles makes for a less interesting encyclopedia. Caro7200 (talk) 16:00, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - I have added a couple of more refs - this was one of the first albums released under Fiction records after the Cure. It is 1979/80 album and most ref for this is paper based so refs would be hard to come by. However all major music streaming services have the album, which shows it must have a certain amount of notability. Also as above - albums should nolt be incorporated into bands articles - they need to be separate - and this is a notable band having charted.Davidstewartharvey (talk) 08:05, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
 * On this the SNG says "Notability aside, a standalone article is only appropriate when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article". On a different note, rearding your charting note, if you could put in a sourced statement that it charted on a national music chart (Record charts) that would be sufficient to meet the SNG.  Even just having some material in the article beyond what's on the record jacket would help. Sincerely,  North8000 (talk) 14:22, 2 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment - I have now added quotes from reviews from publications (and refs) plus additional review scores from internet sites - all which are notable organisations on Wikipedia.Davidstewartharvey (talk) 10:04, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep / withdrawn The article has since evolved in the areas that it was nominated for, especially sources found and added. IMO still not a slam dunk; suggest developing additional material    North8000 (talk) 11:39, 3 June 2020 (UTC)  North8000 (talk) 11:39, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
