Per WP:Music: All articles on albums or songs must meet the basic criteria at the notability guidelines. Individual articles on albums should include independent coverage. Album articles with little more than a track listing may be more appropriately merged into the artist's main article or discography article, space permitting.

  • The article in question was one of the first EP's by a notable band. According to you, all articles must meet the basic criteria, and if we were going by the album only and NOT the band, then i geuss we should delete Nirvana's demo tape or the rolling stone's Five by Five.

  • Merge/Redirect - according to WP:MUSIC, all albums and songs - and therefore by implication singles - still have to meet basic WP:N criteria. It even states that "album articles with little more than a track listing may more appropriately merged....". I can't see anything in the article justifying notability for an article in its own right, so my vote is to merge it into the groups' article, and change this article to a redirect. Nirvana and the Rolling Stones are (now) established notable bands, but if this was 1964, the Rolling Stones article would be required to assert notability the same as any article for a new group. If Gob become as well-known as either of these, then sure, their albums will (possibly) deserve their own articles, and will hopefully have more in them that just a track listing, but until then, I don't believe they do.

  • Merge - Per WP:MUSIC, little more than a tracklist. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 16:44, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Merge useful information into Gob (band) as the EP was a limited edition offering that didn't attract significant interest. B.Wind (talk) 07:41, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
