Politics as Usual

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Notability. Usually in such cases I would redirect to the artist, but in this case I don't think that most people searching using this phrase would be looking for a hip-hop recording. I guess I could move the article tp Politics as Usual (Album) & then put the created redirect up for deletion. Thoughts?? TheLongTone (talk) 16:42, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep - Meets the WP:GNG through third party coverage. Dedicated reviews by AllMusic, Spin, Exclaim, AllHipHop, and Rap Reviews, all of which have a consensus for being reliable per WP:MUSIC/SOURCES. I am surprised there's no other articles under the name "Politics as Usual", but as long as there isn't, adding additional disambiguation like "(album)" would go against article titling policy.

 * Comment - The album also received coverage outside of music-specific websites, in publications like the Boston Phoenix. They reviewed it as well. Sergecross73   msg me  12:40, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Just about meets standards based on reviews/press coverage. The Spin review is very short, the Exclaim article is an interview not a review, AllMusic is indiscriminate, but coverage in AllHipHop, Boston Phoenix, and HipHopDX is more substantial.

 * Yeah, I'm not entirely sure what's going on with the Exclaim source - it's labeled as a review, and the first half of it reads like one, but then half way down it seems to turn into an interview or something? The lengthy opening is definitely third party RS writing though. Sergecross73   msg me  15:12, 3 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep per above comments. More sources were added, and it appears to have enough to support its notability. Aoba47 (talk) 18:08, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
