 * Propose deleting monk (thelonious monk album)


 * Nominator's rationale: Done in good faith, but I'm not sure the article creator has understood how categorization works. I've seen Category:(artist name) album covers before, but we don't create an individual category for each album cover, and furthermore, not with the file in picture form. I guess this could be renamed, but seeing as both the content and the category name would have to be changed, it seems easier to WP:TNT and start again, if necessary.

 * Propose deleting hyland (band) albums


 * Nominator's rationale: Only one item in the category. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:36, 3 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep. Like it or not (I personally am not a fan) this is standard practice for albums by band, as part of the catalogue hierarchy. There are any number of bands with one-article album categories. Grutness... wha?   00:47, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per long-standing consensus at WP:ALBUMS: "Previous discussions have formed the consensus that a category for an artist's albums should be created even if they have only released one album (irrespective of whether they are likely to release more in the future)." You must have forgotten about your previous nominations of similar categories from November 2016, Walter. ;) Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 00:53, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep  - it would be bizarre to omit the single most obvious defining characteristic of an album - the artist. Oculi (talk) 09:33, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per User:Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 17:36, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
