Grand Bassam Zion Rock (Alpha Blondy album)

Non-notable album. Unreferenced article. Fails WP:NALBUMS. XXN, 14:37, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Although evidently not one of Alpha Blondy's more successful records, this was an official major label album release by an important musician. The French Wikipedia article for this album cites a source (although I don't have access to that source). Google and GBooks searches suggest that reviews or other coverage can be found with enough and access to offline sources; see, e.g. [1][2][3][4][5][6] I don't think deleting this page would improve our encyclopedic coverage of Alpha Blondy and of Ivorian and reggae music in general. --Arxiloxos (talk) 14:54, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I'm no convinced that the sources are available to take this article beyond the unsatisfactory tracklisting and infobox that we have now (although they may exist offline). The current title is no use as a redirect - why on earth anyone added '(Alpha Blondy album)' to the title is beyond me. The album title itself may be worth a redirect to Alpha Blondy, but I would suggest moving this to Grand Bassam Zion Rock without redirect before redirecting there. --Michig (talk) 07:10, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Articles about albums by notable artists seem to be uncontroversial, and the artist already has others, so not sure why this one is different. Greenman (talk) 22:02, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and I would've closed this myself as this can be improved. SwisterTwister talk 04:36, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
