Non-notable album. The subject of the article fails both WP:GNG and WP:NALBUMS. I once tried to redirect to Arthur Loves Plastic, but the author Memphisto (talk · contribs) called my edit "vandalism". So I'd like other editors' opinions here. 114.164.216.48 (talk) 21:29, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What we have here is an anonymous IP targeting an article for some unknown reason. 114.145.24.94 redirected the article to Arthur Loves Plastic, then 114.145.174.2 did exactly the same, and now 114.164.216.48 nominates the article for deletion. The anonymous IP seems to know quite a bit about the intricacies of Wikipedia, so I think their agenda has little to do with the notability of this particular article. In addition I object to the deletion of this article, which relates to an artist notable within the Washington, D.C. arts culture. memphisto 00:38, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Keep- Are IP's even allowed to nominate articles? This article is well sourced and not too short. The band is notable and the album having an article is good because all of Arthur Loves Plastic's other albums have articles as well. What could possibly make this album less notable than them? Nothing. Mrmoustache14 (talk) 19:36, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's not well reference. The only reasonable reference it's had is the allmusic listing. duffbeerforme (talk) 09:37, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. Lacks reviews, charting, awards. Nothing coming close to WP:NALBUMS. Just a bunch on bad external links trying to publicise the album. duffbeerforme (talk) 14:12, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep...but only if sources are added; otherwise, merge to Arthur Loves Plastic#Discography. (And to answer your question, Mrmoustache14, I don't see anything on WP:AFD that bars IPs from nominating articles.)

• Strong Keep. The attacks from this anonymous IP (114.145.24.94, 114.145.174.2, 114.164.216.48, 114.164.64.248, 114.150.82.38) continue at Strings (Arthur Loves Plastic album) where again on being frustrated in their attempts to blank the article (redirecting it to 'Arthur Love Plastic'), they then nominate it also in articles for deletion. This is not contributing to an encyclopaedia, this is vandalism; and also a great waste of editors time. memphisto 17:21, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
