The result was DELETE. There were several suggestions for redirection, but no consensus developed. I am inclined to agree with Barney the barney barney but decline to redirect as an administrative action and leave editors free to create a redirect if they so wish.

The Shadow Cabinet

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Apprarently non-notable album, which fails WP:NALBUMS.

I see no evidence that it charted anywhere, and the article is unreferenced. I found a 183-word mini-review at Allmuisc.conm, but that falls short of WP:GNG ... and all the other reviews I found appear to be WP:USERGENERATED. Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:37, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

It's also a pity that Jax yet again misrepresents Wikipedia talk:Notability (music). There is no requirement to merge, let alone to merge losslessly. The guidance at Notability (music) remains that info on non-notable topics "may be included in other ways in Wikipedia, provided that certain conditions are met". There is definitely no requirements to splat a band's article with the tracklist of a non-notable album. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:58, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
 *  Keep (or merge LOSSLESSLY)  - Per this discussion, the album and its details should (at a minimum) be merged LOSSLESSLY into Wuthering Heights (band). --Jax 0677 (talk) 18:17, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Reply. I have lost count of the number of recent AFDs in which I have seen Jax commenting. In none of them have I seen him pay any attention to the basic notability criteria at WP:GNG, and he remains true to form here.
 * REDIRECT to Shadow cabinet. Barney the barney barney (talk) 20:43, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

 *  Reply  - Why should we redirect to "Shadow cabinet"? --Jax 0677 (talk) 18:11, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Reply - because the Shadow cabinet is an extremely important concept within British politics, the British constitution and the Westminster System of government. On a notability scale it completely squishes a minor album into almost complete insignificance. It wouldn't be completely unlikely for someone to type into the search box, or create a link to, "the shadow cabinet" instead of "shadow cabinet" Barney the barney barney (talk) 16:58, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * move to The Shadow Cabinet (album), then redirect to Wuthering Heights (band). then, redirect this to Shadow Cabinet or "Shadow Cabinet (disambiguation)" as suggested. Frietjes (talk) 00:14, 2 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Wuthering Heights (band), there is absolutely nothing to merge. J04n(talk page) 01:19, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
