Poor refs. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NALBUM. P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs) 18:19, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages because they are related and of similar quality:

:{{la|Coastin'}}

• Weak Keep for Both Albums - I must point out to the nominator that per WP:NEXIST, "Poor refs" is not a criterion for deleting an article because there may actually be room for improvement if one attempts to search for sources and expand the article. For the two albums in this nomination, Iration (album) has a brief AllMusic review and some reviews in the specialty press (hippie rock and the like) such as [https://www.thepier.org/iration-discusses-the-album-addition-of-last-to-know/] and [https://www.gratefulweb.com/articles/iration-releases-self-titled-studio-album-today]. Coastin' has done a little better in the press, with some deeper coverage such as [https://americansongwriter.com/coastin-iration-album-interview/] and [https://atwoodmagazine.com/icai-iration-interview-2020-coastin/]. Both articles need to be improved but there should be enough media coverage for stubs. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 23:41, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
• Keep: Iration was a number one album on the Billboard Reggae Albums Chart, and Coastin{{'}} entered the chart at no. 2 ([https://301-joweb.newscyclecloud.com/entertainment/right-time-for-iration_193619?profile=1754]), and apart from that there's enough coverage to justify articles, e.g. [https://americansongwriter.com/coastin-iration-album-interview/], [https://www.ocregister.com/2020/07/01/why-irations-new-album-coastin-is-just-right-for-staying-home-during-the-coronavirus/].--Michig (talk) 14:31, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
• Keep both: The self-titled album is also featured in [https://www.gratefulweb.com/articles/iration-releases-self-titled-studio-album-today Grateful Web], while Coastin' is also featured in [https://music.mxdwn.com/2020/07/15/reviews/album-review-iration-coastin/ Mxdwn], [http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/entertainment/iration-coastin-_199022 Jamaica Observer], [https://www.ocregister.com/2020/07/01/why-irations-new-album-coastin-is-just-right-for-staying-home-during-the-coronavirus/ Orange County Register] and [https://www.jambase.com/article/iration-coastin-album JamBase]. With reliable sources indicated in this AfD, both articles are good enough to pass WP:NALBUM. ASTIG😎 _{(ICE T • ICE CUBE)} 05:20, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for the input everyone. If I understand this correctly, the WP:NALBUM can be covered by adding more citations to the reliable sources above? Or would the existence of these sources in general make it notable enough? I'm admittedly new to Wikipedia so I'm still trying to figure this whole thing out? Also, I believe just by adding more significant information in general, it would pass the WP:GNG, correct? One last question I have is if there would be a better place to put this information such as the artist's page or a dedicated discography page? I believe the albums to be notable enough to be represented on Wikipedia in more depth than a listing on the artist's page, but not necessarily notable enough for their own article, hence I propose the creation of a dedicated discography page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrastopheria (talk • contribs) 15:17, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

• Comment from Previous Voter - Not sure why a relist is necessary here, unless it's because of my "weak keep" vote above. That's not far enough from a true keep vote to conclude that there is no consensus. Consider my vote to be "keep" in spirit. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 02:30, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
