Show and Prove

Album has sold maybe 10,000 copies; fails any notability test I can think of. Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  01:39, 11 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep - I've never listened to the guy, but I recognized the name and went to the last.fm album page--1.8 milion song listens, 500,000+ listeners. Updated the page to reflect that. I have no idea what percentage of song plays find their way into last.fm, but suggests to me an audience in the millions. Currently album is "Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #6,395 Paid in MP3", for whatever that's worth. Seems notable. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 03:00, 11 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep Always look through the Google news archive results before nominating something. Search for the album name and the rapper as well, and you'll find results. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette gave him three and a half stars. http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06278/727439-42.stm  D r e a m Focus  03:07, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:NALBUMS. Early album by an artist who had a #1 single last year and a #2 album this year. See Wiz Khalifa discography. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:50, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. This album page seems to easily pass the notability guidelines. It the debut album of the high-profile musician Wiz Khalifa, and not a, say, label-free demo or an unreleased album. It was released through Rostrum Records, which appears to be a notable label. Also, the notability guidelines for albums do not appear to be concerned with album sales, and is instead concerned about how the album was released and who made the album and stuff like that. An album could sell 40 copies after one year, yet if the album is by a band signed to, for example, Napalm Records, then I believe that the album would still deserve a Wikipedia article. I haven't come across an album guideline which states that an album needs to sell x amount in order to be notable enough on Wikipedia.
