Fails WP:MUSIC: compilation album with no claims of notability. Wyatt Riot (talk) 02:22, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep passes WP:MUSIC easily. Album by notable musician. Gene Summers = Rockabilly Hall of Fame. Should WP:SNOW this. Sting au  Buzz Me...   05:56, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: The AFD isn't for Gene Summers (who is clearly notable) but for this album. Per WP:MUSIC (especially the Albums and songs section), each album must meet basic notability requirements. This articles just doesn't meet those requirements. Wyatt Riot (talk) 11:36, 30 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep Gene Summers is clearly notable, WP:MUSIC says that his albums are notable too. Is it the word "compilation" that's confusing? In addition, there are plenty of references and material to sustain an article, they're not inline cites but they indicate to me that the notability is not only claimed but quite obvious. --Canley (talk) 07:56, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: If you look through the History and the articles written by the same editor, you'll see that the "Sources" mainly apply to claims made in the "Artist profile" section, which isn't even necessary in this article. The sole reference for the album itself is the liner notes. Wyatt Riot (talk) 11:36, 30 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge to Gene Summers or better yet, maybe someone wants to create a list of his albums. WP:MUSIC doesn't give an automatic license for all albums by notable musicians to have their own articles. There have to be sources about the album itself. The reason is simple if you think about it - how else is one to write an article that isn't OR? Content about the artist is or should be all ready in his article, and if you take that out of this article, there isn't enough for more than a stub. I couldn't find much of anything about the article or its songs when I searched; if there are sources that show notability of the album I'd revisit this.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xymmax (talk • contribs) 16:43, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
