The Darker Shades of White

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

Unremarkable album, no awards or any major significance. Club Oranje T 12:05, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Band's article was just tagged for A7 as I can't find a shred of notability nor any sources. If the parent article is deleted, then the album can go via A9. Although I am curious as to what Christian metal sounds like: detuned, fuzzy guitars over harshly screamed vocals, but with Christian lyrics? That image just clashes like you can't imagine.

 * Delete No notability asserted beyond being by a band that has an article (and is now at AFD), see also Articles for deletion/Corpus Christi (band). Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 17:24, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep passes WP:MUSIC for "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Reviews here, here, here, here, here, and here.   Esradekan Gibb    "Klat" 10:46, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep has reviews, band meets general notability standards.  Royal broil  03:40, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * merge with the band article if it makes it through AFD, album not notable on it's own and the band article is not long enough to justify splitting off info. Ridernyc (talk) 07:29, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep band article notable enough to keep so is album has professional reviews by Christian and secular magazines and websites. Djc wi (talk) 06:23, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. WP:ALBUMS doesn't ask for awards or major honors. It's an officially released album with multiple reviews that show the subject has been covered by reliable sources, and thus meets the notability guidelines. Esradekan provides good examples above.  Jamie ☆ S93  14:16, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
