This Is Fort Apache

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This one is admittedly a close call but I don't think the album meets the requirements at WP:SIGCOV for multiple reliable sources that say informative things. The album does have an AllMusic review (already cited) which usually helps for notability around here, but it is brief and does little beyond listing some of the tracks within. I also found a very brief release announcement that mistakenly calls itself a review, and one blog review , but that's all. It's a quickie compilation that is now only present in the usual retail listings. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 16:34, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Leaning Keep--there are a lot of reviews: Billboard, Rolling Stone, The Dallas Morning News, The Columbus Dispatch, The Washington Post, Interview, and, hey, Seventeen. Many tend to go over the history of the notable recording studio, so merging is another option. Caro7200 (talk) 17:42, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
 * , please provide links instead of just a list of titles. You are correct about Washington Post where there is indeed a review at:, which I missed the first time. For Billboard, I found the following reprint in Google Books: , but that one really strikes me as a basic release announcement rather than a review. I can't find any of the others that you listed. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 18:05, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
 * The Billboard review, under Album Reviews, is on page 58 of the 1/21/95 issue, for one example. I work with physical bound journals; you may try to use a database to find things... Caro7200 (talk) 13:53, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
 * And you may try to add more info on things that you say exist, such as "Interview, Nov. 17, 1995, p. 136". I just saw Bigfoot but that doesn't mean you have to believe it. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 14:03, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
 * In my own search, I didn't find any of what Caro listed above, but I did find sources for a Grammy nomination plus this blurb and this review from Cash Box. Based on what I've seen, I'm also leaning keep but would not oppose a merger. QuietHere (talk) 17:56, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
 * If it matters (it may not) the Grammy nomination is for the art director thanks to the CD's elaborate packaging. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 18:08, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
 * This is true and perhaps I should've clarified that myself as I don't know how much of an effect it has. I wouldn't expect much given it's still a notable award and the nomination lists the album specifically, but I guess I could understand an argument given it's for the packaging and not the music itself.

 * Keep There are enough sources in the article to indicate that this passes WP:GNG. I can also find other reviews, including Here in the Washington Post, here in a small Boston indie paper, A short review here in the Sun-Sentinel, LA Times info on the Grammy nomination, Here's a review from a paper in the Netherlands.  There certainly seems like enough here to clear notability concerns.  -- Jayron 32 19:26, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets WP:NALBUM with sources presented above. They're reliable, with several in-depth enough, IMV. SBKSPP (talk) 01:37, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
