Appears to have reviews in 'Zero' and 'Vision Music' - I have no idea if these count as reliable sources, but these have articles in German and Swedish Wikipedia respectively, though this album has no other WP articles. There is no real assertion of notability, except that it was released internationally and on a probably notable record label. WP:ATD is redirect to War from a Harlots Mouth, but that is also currently at AfD. Boleyn (talk) 05:16, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep because the rationale for deletion doesn't make any sense. The album has reviews, but the sources might not be reliable, but maybe they are, and anyway the magazines have articles in other Wikipedias. What? "No real assertion of notability" is meaningless per WP:ASSERTN, but if it did mean something, it would be undercut by the next clause, which offers two potential assertions of notability. If you're really this unsure about whether you should nominate this for deletion, then please don't, for fear of a) wasting other volunteers' time, and b) deleting an article on a potentially notable subject. Just leave it alone and move on to the next one. — Toughpigs (talk) 05:28, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- user:Toughpigs, thanks for contributing to the AfD. I believe it is non-notable, hence bringing it to AfD. However, I think when nominating it's important to show what I have found that may contribute towards notability, so other people can see the research I have done and form their own opinion, and I am trying to do this more. I do this because I'm not here trying to 'win' but to acknowledge any uncertainties, however small, and to help the community come to a consensus on this. My opinion is that this should be deleted.

Keep: The sources from Visions and Zero are reliable. I found some more reliable sources which talk about the album: Metal Temple, Metal Storm, Metal Rage, Sputnik Music, The PRP and Metal Injection. With these, the article is good enough to pass WP:NALBUM. ASTIG😎 _{(ICE T • ICE CUBE)} 08:00, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per Astig's sources (at least, the reliable ones). --Mdaniels5757 (talk) 17:28, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
