The result was no consensus. Discussion tainted by the nominator pinging other editors who expressed doubt about the article. If the nom is unclear why this is unacceptable practice that destroys consensus then I suggest they read WP:CANVASS Spartaz Humbug! 20:49, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

The Death Card

I put a prod up for this then saw the history so I'm putting this a afd-album with questionable notablity Wgolf (talk) 15:28, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Pinging, and  for this. Wgolf (talk) 15:29, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Also pinging (dang how many of us put a notability tag on this article???) Wgolf (talk) 15:31, 7 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep I've added several reviews under 'external links' that I think push it past the WP:NALBUM / WP:GNG mark. At worst, redirect to artist. Boleyn (talk) 17:57, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Also check Articles for deletion/Catharsis (Sworn In EP). Wgolf (talk) 18:04, 7 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep I understand the other articles, but this one? Come on guys. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArcangelLaMarivilla (talk • contribs) Dude keep this article. There are worse articles out there like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Cold_Day_in_Hell and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perverse_Recollections_of_a_Necromangler ArcangelLaMarivilla (talk) 18:11, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
 * That's just a reason to delete those articles as well. WP:OTHERSTUFF doesn't determine whether this article will stay.  Ian.thomson (talk) 18:16, 8 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Merge to artist. ScrapIronIV (talk) 19:53, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge to Sworn In (which barely meets WP:BAND). Album does not meet WP:NALBUMS; ELs are not reliable sources.  Mini  apolis  21:54, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
 * WP:NALBUMS point two: "The single or album has appeared on any country's national music chart." See: http://www.billboard.com/artist/5695005/sworn-in/chart (5 different charts). — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 10:19, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Demonstrating (bare) notability for the band, the reason for my vote. This article and Catharsis (Sworn In EP) seem to be attempts to generate publicity. If, and when, the band has more charted recordings is the time for individual articles.  Mini  apolis  13:51, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
 * How is it an attempt to generate publicity? Just by existing? It's not like the band themselves are making these articles. Most album articles get created by fans of the music, is it only wrong when the album is not evidently notable? — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 08:42, 9 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Merge to band Sworn In - for precisely the same reasons as Miniapolis gave above.--Gronk Oz (talk) 23:36, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge to Sworn In —giso6150 (talk) 12:49, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Merge or redirect. There's precious little to merge, its a classic nothing but the track listing 'article'. Added sources do not establish notability, merely the fact that there are heavy metal obsessives about. TheLongTone (talk) 14:02, 8 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep: The Blabbermouth review source is reliable, per WP:ALBUMS/SOURCES. Also, here's a review from New Noise Magazine. Since these are reviews, I'm quite convinced that these pass the "significant coverage" criteria at WP:GNG (as reviews usually would). Kokoro20 (talk) 22:41, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
