The Summer EP
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Procedural nomination. Was previously deleted at AfD but at least five "Delete" votes were by sockpuppets - see Sockpuppet investigations/JamesBurns/Archive. Therefore relisting. I am neutral. Black Kite 19:39, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: The first AfD had my nomination and only two "delete" comments from our sockpuppet. The two "keep" arguments were both made by the main author of the article and included notifications of sources he had added; sources which didn't meet Wikipedia's definition of reliable sources, IMHO.


 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Albums and songs-related deletion discussions.  --  J mundo 20:07, 20 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep: Same reason as last AfD. Notable artist with sufficient information for an article. Also added press release from Earshot Media, NeverShoutNever!'s Press and Publicity Representatives. --Russ is the sex (talk) 20:13, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: Nothing much has changed from the original AfD. The article still lacks any evidence of substantial write up in reliable third-party sources.  The citation of the press release from the "Press and Publicity Representatives" is an improvement, but I still doubt it qualifies as a reliable third-party source.  To quote from the notaility guideline: "Demos, mixtapes, bootlegs, promo-only, and unreleased albums are in general not notable; however, they may be notable if they have significant independent coverage in reliable sources." (emphasis added).  So, I ask, where is the write up in Billboard or Rolling Stone for example?  Astronaut (talk) 22:00, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete press releases or myspace aren't reliable sources Secret account 22:31, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete It fails WP:NALBUMS because of a lack of "significant independent coverage in reliable sources". Tim  meh  !  23:57, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Note There is only a "lack of significant independent coverage in reliable sources" after the full-length was changed to an EP. There is a ton of information from reliable sources about the album itself. I will try to find some more.
