Record does not appear to be notable and did not appear to chart or win any awards or anything. Also, (which is how I stumbled on it )what is strange is all the individual song titles redirect to the article what links there, bit excessive for a not notable self released album.

 * Weak delete per NMG. Group is highly notable, but AllMusicGuide and other sources don't even mention this in discography listings. TV On The Radio article already has a blurb about this album; the only thing this article adds is a photo and track listing. OhNo itsJamie Talk 18:08, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Could you explain your rational, it says in the album notability that thae album itseldf must meent the general notability guidelines, this album and its citation clearly does not? Off2riorob (talk) 22:16, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep or Merge to TV on the Radio. As the debut album of a clearly notable band, it would seem a shame to limit it to a brief mention in the band article, although there appears to be little coverage of the album itself. There is some coverage, e.g. a non-staff Sputnik Music review, David Sitek talking about the album in a Pitchfork interview, Washington Post article that talks about the album's contents, another Washington Post article with a paragraph about the album. Perhaps not enough to strictly meet notability criteria for a standalone article (although we could say more about it than a lot of albums that have articles here) but a merge to the band would either omit a lot of information or be messy, so I would favour keeping it.--Michig (talk) 19:36, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete The album is not notable and there is very little information in the article. If there is anything interesting in the quotation from Tunde at the end of this article, it could easily be merged into the band's article. Rikat (talk) 03:41, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
