That Handsome Devil (album)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable album which fails WP:MUSIC. Extent of the notability claim is the inclusion of a song in Guitar Hero II. --fuzzy510 19:29, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * delete - no independent sources, therefore unverifiable. And even if the band was notable, this album is not - notability is not inherited. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 19:53, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Band is notable, therefore per WP:MUSIC their album is as well. Though I would prefer merging with the band article itself. - Cyborg Ninja 20:21, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Technically, that is incorrect. "If the musician or ensemble that recorded an album is considered notable, then albums may have sufficient notability to have individual articles on Wikipedia. Individual articles on albums should include independent coverage." Is there independent coverage? AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 21:56, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Just because there is a lack of references in an article, doesn't mean it should be deleted. Work should be done to add references. You can easily see the album by doing a Google search and viewing it on other, independent sites. - Cyborg Ninja 23:53, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Certainly. The first 20 or 30 listings were for self-submitted review sites and places like Myspace. Wikipedia was #10 in the list. None of the first 30 or so links were from a site that would generally be accepted as a reliable source. I'd suggest the onus is on someone interested in a "keep" to source this article - not someone who agrees on a delete. Hey, during an AfD discussion, a little bit of encyclopedic sourcing is often enough to turn people's delete votes into keep votes. But, as the article is now, my opinion hasn't yet changed.

 * Merge into band article and Delete per WP:MUSIC. --Moonriddengirl 13:39, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
