I Believe (2006)

Lacks notability, lacks references. Not finding any reviews or indication that this album has charted. RadioFan (talk) 02:04, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

~~Weak Keep~~ - The article has a couple third-party sources, and they appear reliable. This is not including lyrics websites, tabulature websites, and product websites. This combines make 2,280 GHITS for "I Believe" "Rapture Ruckus". ~ Wakanda's Black Panther!♠/♦ 02:27, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, an album doesn't need to chart to be notable. It just needs Independent, reliable sources, same as any other article. ~ Wakanda's Black Panther!♠/♦ 02:31, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I don't believe some of those sources are independent. One is a myspace page, another is their website, and the last is a christian rock blog. The other source is one profiling up and coming bands, which proves a lack of notability. Tej68 (talk) 02:38, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Changing !vote to Keep on the basis that I found two independent, reliable sources[1][2] stating that the album won an award. I also have a source that the song, I Believe, made it to #7 on a NZ chart. It's unfortunately pay-per-view. ~ Wakanda's Black Panther!♠/♦ 02:48, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict)*Keep The Album won a New Zealand Music Award for "Best Gospel / Christian Album" [3] so that is probably enough in of itself. I do, however, believe the article is exaggerating - still looking on the "spanned hits" comments. Also per WP:NALBUMS the bar for albums by notable groups (as is the case here is pretty low. --ThaddeusB (talk) 02:49, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

~~Album debuted at #7 in NZ [4].~~ err, I can't read - wrong album :) --ThaddeusB (talk) 02:51, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That would be their next album, Live At World's End, friend. It does help prove that this band is notable, even if only in New Zealand, though. ~ Wakanda's Black Panther!♠/♦ 02:57, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
