The result was Revert to redirect. Ugh, this is a mess. First, the only keep arguments (one from a WP:SPA, the other from a long-time established editor) are based on, This is new, it should be given time for improvement. That's a reasonable argument for an article that's badly written, but doesn't hold water when there's no sources. If, lack of sources because it's too new, was the only problem, I'd be thinking about moving this to draft space. But, the other problem is that this overwrote a perfectly reasonable redirect. If we were to have an article about the album, it should live at Minor League (album), as suggested.

So, what I'm going to do is just revert this back to the point in history where it was a redirect. If nothing else, that will preserve the edit history, should sources ever appear and we want to bring this back. Somebody else can worry about the technical details at that point of how we fork the history to comply with our licensing and attribution requirements. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:29, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - as the nominator said "Non-notable album. Article also is unsourced." - Rizhopper (talk) 23:19, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - Page is unsourced. Support redirect to ApologetiX. Meatsgains (talk) 23:27, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - It's a brand new album, and hasn't had any time to generate notability or reviews yet. Why the rush here? I've seen other articles flagged with improve for months to give editors time to work. Why was this article nominated within one day of creation? ⇔ ChristTrekker 14:48, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak delete or Move without redirect to Minor League (album). At the very least, the title was created by changing the redirect to Minor league which is confusing and not WP:PRIMARY.  I'd have moved it had it not been AfD tagged, and would propose moving it even while this discussion is ongoing.   Montanabw (talk) 22:36, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - Unreasonable to nominate page nominated for deletion within 24 hours of creation. Adding improve is a better option, in addition to sourcing. Potatofondant (talk) 01:01, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
