Seasons of Tragedy

This article does not meet the notability guideline for music. Album has never charted. Bigvernie (talk) 19:43, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak keep If the band is notable enough for an article then their albums should have articles on-wiki. Heavy metal albums rarely chart anyways. Pichpich (talk) 22:02, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Correct (on the second point, anyway): an album doesn't need to have charted to be notable. Drmies (talk) 17:25, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep albums by subjects who are notable are notable. -DJSasso (talk) 22:15, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep album has received some coverage and is, according to Blabbermouth.net, "critically acclaimed" . extransit (talk) 03:04, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but that's weaker than weak--that a non-reliable (or at best only moderately reliable) sources 'says' that it's critically acclaimed without itself critically acclaiming it, that's nothing. Drmies (talk) 19:57, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Read the article on Blabbermouth.net (specifically the "Legacy" section), its a reliable source. extransit (talk) 04:54, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I read it. It's not an article, it's a blurb. I am not sure you understand what I'm saying. Drmies (talk) 13:29, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I meant read our article about Blabbermouth.net, sorry that my diction was not clear. But never-mind, it is a small point (you said it was not a reliable source, our article indicates that it is actually an authority on heavy metal) as you are right that blabbermouth's coverage of SoT is just a blurb. extransit (talk) 20:25, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

<--Oh, gotcha. There's been a lot of discussion about Blabbermouth; I think it should be judged on a case-by-case basis. I certainly don't want to say that nothing on Blabbermouth is trustworthy, but 'articles' (not used in irony) there are of very different ilks. Drmies (talk) 23:01, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
