 * Keep: Another ill-considered nomination from this nom, who's racking up a lot of bad AfDs in recent days. If the nom had followed WP:BEFORE -- something he seems to ignore, generally -- he'd have seen that this is an album from a notable band, from which five singles made the top ten of a national chart, something that's a prima facie pass on WP:MUSIC.  The article is unsourced, but that should've been handled with tagging to start, and I wonder what steps the nom took to source it, as WP:BEFORE requires be done before a nomination is made. From someone who's been making AfD nominations for nine years, this level of omission is inexplicable.   Ravenswing   10:08, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Redirect to By2 discography. This is nothing more than a track list. There's no such thing as prima facie pass without reliable sources. WP:MUSIC criteria is regarding music artists not albums. Chart information is much more succintly covered in the discography already. If actual coverage of the album itself (production, reviews, etc.) can be found and added into the article for an actual stub and not just a track list, it would be very easy to do so. -- Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 20:45, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Redirect to By2 discography. Lack of coverage, lack of content. Ravenswing did not choose to tell as which charts or which songs either here or in the article, but the discography which has more information on the album than this article, shows that it was the Gaon Korean chart, although none made #1. Taiwan and other charts are not listed. The citation given for the Gaon Korean chart is a deadlink. The article indicates that the Goan webpage was accessed 14 February 2012, that date was not archived, but the archive for 19 Jan 2012 and 8 April 2012 do not list either the album or the band or any of the singles. Since the singles were released April–July 2008 why would they chart only briefly in Feb. 2012, and not January or April? Anyway, lacking access to the old chart, I was unable to verify the single charting. lastly, even if notable, there is no reason to duplicate the By2 discography article, so a redirect is appropriate. --Bejnar (talk) 18:08, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
