The Art of Courtly Love

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Lacks notability. A search here found a few hits on the subject but in-depth treatments are lacking. Further, when searching for the subject "The Art of Courtly Love", most users are probably searching for the medieval book on the subject (also confirmed by pageview counts of one a day), although the confusion could be solved via a disambiguation page if the article about the album is kept. Still, lacking references, being a stub since 2007 (that's 9 years) and being unimproved during this time, suggests that new content is unable to be added. Tomwsulcer (talk) 13:02, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment : I was invited to comment as the creator of the page ... but I created it as a redirect. I think, way back then, I was in doubt whether it was sufficiently notable to be a page on its own, and I am still in doubt! Andrew Dalby 13:06, 27 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep. This was actually a significant and influential release in its day, and it won the 1977 Grammy Award for Best Chamber Music Performance. The Billboard article that reported the "sentimental and deserved" Grammy win also comments that David Munrow (who committed suicide a few months before the award) "had injected an excitement in the performance of early music not seen since the days of trailblazer Noah Greenberg and the New York Pro Musica."  A 1985 Chicago Tribune article includes this record on a short list of the 25 must-have albums to create a basic classical music collection.  --Arxiloxos (talk) 15:58, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Weak keep per Arxiloxos, though I would agree this article badly needs to be moved and a disambig put in place. Artw (talk) 14:09, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
