Previous nomination ended in deletion. Article barely contains any information and only two references. Few Google hits. The article could possibly be merged into Sandra Boynton JDDJS (talk) 03:46, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - It's an RIAA Certified Gold album, so it meets criterion #3 at WP:NALBUMS, a factor that was not mentioned in the previous deletion discussion. It's a first album from an artist who has gone on to be major in her field - in this case, not a recording artist but a composer. Has served as the basis for Boynton books, as she adapted Tickle Time and Barnyard Dance - and apparently the book of Barnyard Dance is "among Publishers Weekly’s Bestselling Children Books of All Time." --Nat Gertler (talk) 04:19, 12 April 2017 (UTC) Here's a reference direct from Publishers Weekly of that claim. --Nat Gertler (talk) 04:29, 12 April 2017 (UTC) (Actually, checking dates - Barnyard Dance predates the recording, so the song is based on the book. Perfect Piggies and Tickle Time!, however, are derived from the songs. My error.) --Nat Gertler (talk) 13:41, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Any reason why that information can't simply be merged to Sandra Boynton? The article is short enough that it won't significantly affect it's length. JDDJS (talk) 02:10, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Can't? Perhaps not. Shouldn't? I think so. This article should stay here to expand. I added to it the other day with things that I could fine online, but as this is a 1996 album, while that's not pre-internet, that's pre-everything-is-on-the-Internet. And while Boynton is the biggest name associated with this recording, I'm not sure that there's any other Gold record filed in its lyricist's article. (Indeed, this album may qualify vocalist Adam Bryant for an article.) --Nat Gertler (talk) 02:38, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
