I Am Human (album)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable album by a notable group. We know that notability is WP:NOTINHERITED and the album fails WP:NALBUM. For instance, The AllMusic entry contains no professional rating nor review. We see a few brief mentions such as the Alt Press entry or http://loudwire.com/escape-the-fate-i-am-human-album-papa-roach-tour/ but nothing substantial. No professional reviews to be found but lots of blogs [1] [2] [3]. No charting that I could see. The only issue left is to determine if it should be returned to a redirect (and locked) or deleted (and salted). Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:20, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've found a few usable reviews: [4][5][6] I've used all these sites before on quality articles. Though I must say I was surprised the Allmusic had nothing on them. If you insist I add them all at once to take away the redirect (although I hate that mentality), that is what I shall do, but no further action here should be necessary. And, unless their discography is lying to me, the album did indeed chart. dannymusiceditor ^oops 01:25, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- I stand corrected on the charting. I checked Billboard and could not find the band, but https://www.billboard.com/music/escape-the-fate/chart-history/independent-albums/song/1072004 shows it charting at No. 8 on independent Albums. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:47, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It seems to have charted in Australia on a national chart [7] thus fulfilling the notability requirement of WP:NALBUM Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 02:00, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I don't like the premise that a chart listing alone can fulfill notability requirements, but we are not here to change guidelines. Regardless, there seems to be some coverage in Beat Magazine, Loudwire, and Upset Magazine; I cut a bit of slack since hardcore bands generally receive less press.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 02:20, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Good sourcing. I did WP:BEFORE, but none of these were found. I withdraw my nomination. Walter Görlitz (talk) 15:02, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and Speedy Close due to withdrawn nomination. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 20:12, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
