Very obscure album from an already obscure band. Nearly all of the references are trivial mentions per WP:NMUSIC, the other is a single review from a magazine's website. AlphabeticThing9 (talk) 07:42, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep. The "single review" was actually two, and "a magazine" is a WP:RS. Since I added two more reviews this is also a WP:HEY situation, not that it was very hard work. They all showed up in the first page of Google hits. I do however believe that this is obscure to AlphabeticThing9. Geschichte (talk) 08:08, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Do reviews, on their own, constitute notability? WP:NALBUM essentially says that albums need to meet the general notability guidelines. A couple of simple reviews don't appear to meet WP:SIGCOV AlphabeticThing9 (talk) 16:20, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well, in reviewing, they write about the albums. I think that writing about something counts as coverage if the source is reliable. For the same reason, films have a condition of at least 2 reviews to be kept. Now, Youtube views is surely not a precondition that's included in any guideline...

Keep. Not a particularly obscure band or album, and the coverage is just about enough to justify an article. --Michig (talk) 09:55, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It appears to be quite obscure. Taking one of the songs', The Infernal Ceremony, views on YouTube for example, it doesn't even crack 4000 on its most highly viewed video. AlphabeticThing9 (talk) 16:20, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Meets WP:NALBUM per above arguments. The sources in the article (except for the first one that is the band's website) are reliable enough IMV. SBKSPP (talk) 04:01, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
