[edit] Havamal (Album)

This is clearly a non-notable album. The article itself asserts it's non-notability. There is a page for the band, which essentially contains all of the information in the article, so arguably it would be a candidate for a redirect. Although redirects are cheap, who on earth would search for an album with only 9 copies? Mozzie 04:39, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

• Weak delete I know that, in general, albums by notable artists are considered notable; however, this isn't a full length album, but rather a three track demo with under ten copies pressed. Neat rarity worth mentioning in the band's article if it can be sourced properly, but does not merit its own page. No need to redirect from this title as it isn't even formatted correctly.

• Redirect to the band. Even if you do stipulate that albums by notable bands are notable, notability alone does not a worthy article make. If there isn't anything to say about something (like about a 3-track demo, for example), then there isn't an article to be had. - Che Nuevara 05:56, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete or redirect. The same thing applies to Laeknishendr, Promo '95 and Skinn Af Sverði Söl Valtiva.... Demo albums aren't notable. Punkmorten 06:04, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect Nine copies?? Sorry, even a Beatles album with that many copies isn't notable in my book... -Elmer Clark 02:59, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Albums generally get articles. --badlydrawnjeff talk 10:57, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment For starters, albums don't by default get articles (I'm 99% sure they have to be notable in some way, otherwise we'd get overloaded with stupid articles). Secondly, how is it supposed to be expanded? With only nine copies in existence, the likelihood of this ever being expanded is infinitesimally small. EVula 17:41, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Very few band articles have the album information meshed into the article proper. It breaks the discographies on the infobox, and it usually ruins the flow of the article. --badlydrawnjeff talk 17:49, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect In the extremely unlikely even that someone searches for the album, it should redirect to the band's article. EVula 17:39, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect. I can't find information that would verify the existence of this demo. It's not even listed on Encyclopaedia Metallum [1]. Strong keep for all the demos that are verifiable, as demos are albums too. Although these might be heavily limited in terms of cassette distribution, they usually get a lot of Internet listeners later on. Prolog 17:25, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
