Fails WP:GNG, only one valid source. WP:NALBUM's criteria #4 states "The recording has won or been nominated for a major music award", and the album won a GMA Dove Award, but this does not improve notability, since WP:NALBUM states: "Specific to recordings, a recording may be notable if it meets at least one of these criteria" and the article only meets one. — Mcguy15 (talk, contribs) 21:05, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Currently undecided because evidence ([1]) indicates that the album won two trophies at the 37th GMA Dove Awards, which is a fairly noteworthy achievement for Christian musicians. However, robust sources on that year's ceremony and this album's victory are dead links or never existed. If anyone can find something reliable from old offline hard-copy sources and the like, this article might be keep-able, but I am unable to find anything useful thus far. I can change my vote as necessary, but the simplest solution might just be to Redirect to the musician's article, which is standard procedure for questionably notable albums. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:50, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Comment - I haven't robustly looked for sources, but the wayback archive shows the album was nominated for one award (packaging) which it didn't win. I have no particular reason to doubt the album won the instrumental award, but this archived site does not cover this category (which I confirmed exists.) Anyway, at the very least the verifiable portions of the article (which would be the tracklist, record label, and playing time as self-referenced) should be merged to Andy Hunter (DJ) as a significant artistic milestone to that artist's output, per WP:PRESERVE. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 22:52, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Andy Hunter (DJ)#Discography. Fails WP:NALBUM per nom. A WP:BEFORE shows only a review and winning 2 awards at the Dove Awards. SBKSPP (talk) 09:30, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Andy Hunter (DJ)#Discography. I already made an undecided comment above, but after the ensuing discussion my vote is now to redirect. The musician's article already mentions that this album won the Dove awards and that is sufficient. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:23, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
