Shimmer (Sal Paradise album)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Appears to fail WP:NALBUM, as I can not find any significant coverage of this album, nor of the artist, who doesn't have an article. A claim of notability is made for being the soundtrack to a German film which doesn't have an English WP article either, but does have a German one: de:Die Story, which indeed lists Sal Paradise as the soundtrack artist. Apparently Germany's second highest grossing film in 1984, which I haven't been able to confirm; but even if that is true, I don't think that's enough to make this album notable.

listed the same concerns when tagging the article for notability back in 2015, see Talk:Shimmer (Sal Paradise album). Lennart97 (talk) 15:29, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete, as per, well, what Lennart says I said. --Nat Gertler (talk) 15:51, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - When the band has no WP article, I am automatically suspicious about the notability of their albums. It is difficult to track down info about this group, as their name is also a literary character (from On the Road) and other bands used it too including an obscure Australian 90s band . This one appears to be a British one-man techno act from the early 80s, with a mysterious Bandcamp page, while the album Shimmer has a Discogs entry. However I can find nothing else reliable and significant, especially for the album that is the topic of this AfD. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 14:19, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
