 * Delete. note that it also fails WP:NALBUM and WP:COPYVIO. The main bulk of the article consists of long paraphrases of critics reviews - these are certainly violations of copyright.Smerus (talk) 06:56, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
 * copyvio concerns can be removed, this has happened. Coolabahapple (talk) 02:26, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep per WP:NALBUM. The article's COPYVIO issue has been addressed - brief review excerpts will be supplied in due course. Niggle1892 (talk) 17:12, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per criteria 1 of WP:NALBUM. The work was critically reviewed in several offline publications, including The New Republic, Volume 205, page 12, Herbert David Croly, 1991; Fanfare, Joel Flegler, Volume 17, Issue 1, Page 196, 1993; Show Music magazine, Volume 7, 1991, Page 51; Gramophone, Volume 69, Issues 824-828, Page 39; and Stereo Review, Volume 48, Page 62, 1983. In addition the recording is discussed on page 366 of American Opera Singers and Their Recordings: Critical Commentaries and Discographies, Clyde T. McCants, McFarland Press, 2004, and in The Complete Book of 1920s Broadway Musicals By Dan Dietz, Rowman & Littlefield, 2019, page 474.4meter4 (talk) 20:03, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 14:01, 25 September 2019 (UTC) Comment It's true that getting almost fifty AfD nominations in one evening wasn't very nice. (It'll be a long time before I forget the queasy feeling of watching the number on my bell icon ticking remorselessly up and up, and being afraid to click on it to find out what was going on.) The only reason that I didn't throw in the towel was that so many people sent me kind messages of advice and support.Niggle1892 (talk) 02:21, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep, meets WP:NALBUM with numerous reviews, i am confused as to why 2 experienced editors (hi, and ) seem to have chosen to ignore a key point of this guideline in their nomination/"delete" statement, i would interested in their reasonings behind this, i do note that the article creator has recently created lots of classical album articles that have all(?) been sent to afd but will most probably be "kept" as notable, i don't see how doing this may be anything but discouraging for a new editor (although, they appear to have take it on the chin and are (thankfully:)) carrying on regardless), looking at their talkpage it is nice that a number of editors have assisted them in their wikiexperience ... probably should stop now.
