Fails pretty much every inclusion criteria we've got, but I'll just go with WP:NALBUMS and WP:N more generally. This is a fictional album: It doesn't exist and never existed in the real world. It exists only as a plot device in a work of fiction, has no notability outside that work, and its role in the plot is completely covered in the film article's plot summary. The only sources here are unreliable: IMDb and a fan site. A previous deletion discussion in 2008 gathered 2 keep votes, based on possible notability with improvement, and 2 merge votes, but nothing ever came of either. There is no indication that this fictitious album has received significant real-world coverage in reliable secondary sources. IllaZilla (talk) 23:52, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete, not merge. While the album could be mentioned at Spinal Tap, merging this content would be putting undue weight. This album is not notable, Spinal Tap is. Delete and redirect. ▫  Johnny Mr Nin ja  23:58, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
