Clairvoyance (album)

This was originally deleted by an admin without first listing on VfD. I am listing it here to get community consensus before we remove it. It is only just a list of tracks at the moment. Should this be removed? - Ta bu shi da yu 10:39, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

• If it were me, I'd delete all such pages as ephemera. It's remarkable that these pages occur only with relatively current music, I can't remember seeing pages with listings of tracks of Horowitz piano albums, or Sinatra. But I've just been leaving them alone, it's obviously what Wikipedians want to do. (If it isn't, though, I'll start listing the others here as I find them: there are lots of pages just like this one, just tell me what to do.) — Bill 12:14, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. Most albums are not notable. Maybe none are. --Improv 15:42, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Delete unless it can be expanded to say why this album is notable. Mere track listings are no more encyclopedic than my listing what I had for dinner. Average Earthman 16:12, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • I've expanded it to say why it is notable —siroχo 23:25, Oct 22, 2004 (UTC)
• Delete: not an article, nonnotable album. Wile E. Heresiarch 17:19, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Now info has been posted so that we actually know whose album it was, and Screaming Trees is a notable group. So now we're just stuck with a substub and a vfd debate. This is why I speedy deleted it in the first place—a list of tracks with NO OTHER information is worthless, and we would have lost nothing to start from scratch. Is it too much to ask that an article at least have one complete sentence when it is first posted? Postdlf 18:05, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • I've made it into an article, and its just as notable as most bands initial full length release albums —siroχo 23:25, Oct 22, 2004 (UTC)
• Keep; I don't believe a precedent to delete albums should be set on a vfd that, thus far, hasn't attracted the attention of anyone who actually feels such articles should be kept. If this gets deleted, everyone who creates album articles--and who doesn't watch vfd--will feel put out, and rightly so. Plus, this article could be expanded. Could someone explain to me how having this article harms Wikipedia, because I've never seen a fully laid-out argument. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 18:21, Oct 22, 2004 (UTC)
• Keep albums by notable bands. Everyking 19:06, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Keep! Its the first full lenght release by a very influential band. I've expanded it. —siroχo 23:25, Oct 22, 2004 (UTC)

Stray comment moved to correct location (Chris 02:20, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)) *Keep, all this article needs is more info. I went ahead and added whose album it is. [[User:Lachatdelarue|Lachatdelarue (talk)]] 13:04, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

• Keep now that it actually has content and we know what it is. Postdlf 02:52, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. Album by notable band. Gamaliel 05:29, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
