Strobe Light (album)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Fictional album, meant as an April Fool's Joke by Trent Reznor/Nine Inch Nails. Notability is not transferable. No third-party sources available, only the single fake NIN web page. Even then, coverage of the album was limited to nin.com to only one day (April Fools day). Drewcifer (talk) 20:57, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge to the artist's page. Seems to be allowable per WP:NNC, no reason to remove it just because it may not meet independent notability criteria. Jclemens (talk) 01:23, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, though in the 20+ years NIN has been active, being among the most influential acts in the 90s and one of the most influential musical business-models today, does a one-day April Fools prank even deserve a mention? It's barely a blip on the Nine Inch Nails radar. Drewcifer (talk) 02:15, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Merge into artist per Jclemens. I think it is definitely not it's own page, isn't there a master online april fool's day page for the year? Merge it into the artist and then let the editors there handle it. I'm not an expert on NiN Kurt (talk) 04:42, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
