Keep Has an Allmusic rating/review. Donaldd23 (talk) 12:08, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - Per WP:NALBUM, "a standalone article is only appropriate when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged into the artist's article or discography". --Jax 0677 (talk) 15:37, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The Allmusic review is four lines long. That doesn't amount to much, in other words, it's trivial and/or insignificant. Geschichte (talk) 14:01, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Length is irrelevant as Allmusic rates on a scale of 1 to 5 stars and Allmusic is listed as a reliable source WP:RSMUSIC and has given a 3-star rating to this album. Donaldd23 (talk) 18:32, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Donald; are you claiming that Allmusic giving a star with no text also amounts to significant coverage? There are many deletion discussions that say otherwise.. Geschichte (talk) 09:46, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please point to one of those discussions so that I may verify. Donaldd23 (talk) 00:10, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
And, it is listed as a reliable source here, with no disqualifier saying the review needs to be a certain length. It says that the star rating is "assigned by the editorial team, not the reviewer"...which means there is editorial oversight and qualifies towards notability. Donaldd23 (talk) 00:14, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I searched the AFD archives for empty Allmusic review and these are some of them: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Friday's Child (band) (2nd nomination), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Ungrateful, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Airborne (band) (2nd nomination).
Just a star with no context does not amount to significant coverage, regardless of who gave it.
Of course, as stated above this review has some text, so I'm actually neutral. Geschichte (talk) 18:58, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Danko Jones discography. Aside from an AllMusic review, there's not enough sources to meet WP:NALBUM. SBKSPP (talk) 05:33, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect - One source is not enough to establish independent notability. (And the source given it a pretty weak argument for significant as is too - it's extremely brief. It's a viable search term, and I'm open to reconsidering if someone finds better sources. But as is, it shouldn't exist as a stand alone article due to failing the WP:GNG.

Comment - It's mentioned widely in Canadian media--The Record, Toronto Star, The Spectator, Times-Colonist, etc., with some of those sources claiming that it's "acclaimed". Most are short mentions, even very short mentions. Perhaps Bearcat will weigh in... Caro7200 (talk) 16:54, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect – I know absolutely nothing about this artist, but in this article's current stance, having only an AllMusic rating doesn't make it qualified as notable. – zmbro _(talk) 18:23, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Danko_Jones_discography#EPs_and_others per above. Not finding any reliable source mentions. Though I agree with SergeCross, if better sources are found then I'll reconsider my vote. QuietHere (talk) 23:52, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
