Non notable album, fails Notability_(music), merely just a track listing and a short introduction.    Kadzi    (talk) 10:53, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Slough Feg- I was initially confused that the artist's article is merely a redirect, however it is clear from this source that they later changed their name to Slough Feg. The album fails WP:NALBUM and WP:GNG with no significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent, has not received critical attention, or charted on national music charts, or received certifications or accolades. -- Ashley yoursmile!  13:51, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - Note that there are 11 album articles for this band. Two have recently been nominated for deletion, but several of the others have the same issues with lack of sources beyond basic directory listings. In fairness though, the band started to get much more reliable coverage by their fifth or sixth album. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 14:24, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Slough Feg - Early release by a band that got reliable notice several years later. This particular album got no independent coverage of its own and only appears as an item in lists of works by the band. There is no harm in redirecting to the band's article, though search terms could become an issue because this album title is also the band's original pre-simplified name. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 14:32, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: I know redirects are WP:CHEAP, but there's already one in place at The Lord Weird Slough Feg. If there isn't even a reference in this one's history, it doesn't need to be preserved (and have the potential for someone to try and restore).  Redirect is OK if absolutely necessary, though. -- 2pou (talk) 18:49, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Note that the existing redirect mentioned in the above vote is actually for the original long version of the band's name, not the album. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 13:54, 29 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment. No "keep" or "delete" vote because I've not looked at the article beyond ascertaining that it didn't qualify for speedy deletion, but if it doesn't qualify for an article, why redirect?  Who's going to search for the (album) disambiguated title when the no-parentheses form already exists?  Can't The Lord Weird Slough Feg serve both for the band and for the album?  Correct me if pop-music fans don't search this way, but unless they search differently from other people, I don't see the point.  I found just two articles with links to this article in their code (as opposed to transcluded template links), the band article and Twilight of the Idols (Slough Feg album) (which is also up for deletion), and I question the likelihood of obscure pop-music articles getting significant links in old versions of articles or off-wiki.  Even this old version and this old version of articles about other albums by this band don't mention this album; if closely related articles don't link it, what will?  It just seems like a useless redirect to me; keep it or delete it.  Nyttend (talk) 19:47, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
