Nielsen/Pearson (album)

Meets neither WP:GNG nor WP:NALBUM - "charting" at #205 on a list of 200 doesn't count.  Onel 5969  TT me 17:07, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Nielsen Pearson (the band's article) and make it permanent. I have been involved in this article's recent history. One experienced WP editor (Onel5969) redirected it to the band's article last week, and then another experienced WP editor (Superastig) revived it in the belief that reliable sources back it up. I must respectfully disagree with Superastig as the album was only ever listed very briefly for its rock-bottom chart placement. There is already a more viable article for its hit single "If You Should Sail", which attracted more attention at the time. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 16:50, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: Only notable album from the duo. Sources 1 & 2 talk about the album, whether briefly or fully. Source 3 indicates that it charted. Source 4, which talks about the single from the album, states a brief description about it. Therefore, the article is good enough to pass WP:NALBUM.

 * Redirect to Nielsen Pearson or delete if the title is too similar to the band's name to not make it worth a redirect (the only difference between the two is the slash, which readers may not enter when searching for the album) – fails WP:NALBUM. The editor above is exaggerating somewhat about the quality of the sources – Source 1 doesn't "talk about the album", it's a full page advert for the album taken out by the record company. The album only made the Bubbling Under chart, not the Billboard 200. Source 4 is a blog and can be discounted as failing WP:RS. Sources 5 and 6 are chart positions for the single, which already has its own article, and saying the album is notable because it contains a charting single is a WP:INHERITED argument. The only source which might actually be reasonable is the second one, but I can't see it to check, because it's a book – in any case this is only one source, not the multiple sources required to show notability.
