 * Comment - The album won a Grammy in 1980, which would make it pass WP:MUSIC. While this album needs more sources, this is a start. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 01:24, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't it be more productive to redirect this page? There is no significant coverage to make this any more than a track listing. I can add a sentence or two about the album winning a Grammy since that is noteworthy.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 02:36, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I've just added a Billboard chart for the album to the article. There's also a source that said that the album went platinum, but I need to check. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 02:55, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep. Won a Grammy. And not in some weaselly-way, where the third sound-mixer's assistant on a Grammy-winning album claims to be "Grammy-winning". This is an album that, as an album, won a Grammy. In a lower-profile category that gets less media attention, yes. And so it's probably always going to be a stub article, but stubs aren't necessarily bad things. Additionally, the snippet-viewable Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music appears to have something to say about it, and I expect that's not the only Christian-literature source to address the work (that genre, especially the periodicals, is very poorly represented in searchable resources online), although the award is sufficient that the vaunted "sources that must exist" needn't be conjured to demonstrate notability here.

 * I would have liked to have seen this become a keep then redirect so content could be used to make a better musician article but I support consensus. Next time I will look more at NMUSIC than the bull of sources to determine notability.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 16:15, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
