• Delete all three, with redirects to the kid's article. Not notable. If that changes in the future, we can easily recreate. - SummerPhD (talk) 05:45, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
• Delete the song articles, but the album has been reviewed by Allmusic, that makes it more than a frivolous promo thing, even if it didn't chart. Hekerui (talk) 11:29, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Relist note: I've closed the songs as delete, but there's room for a bit more discussion on the album. --j⚛e decker^talk 03:40, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

• Delete. Could only find brief passing mentions of the album; nothing like the sort of in-depth coverage required to meet the standards at WP:GNG and WP:NALBUM. Nicholas Jonas is already a redirect to the artiste, so not much value in having Nicholas Jonas (album) do the same, may as well just get rid. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 06:02, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. The artist (now known as Nick Jonas) is clearly notable, and Google News/Books searches show coverage of the initial release by sources like AllMusic. As WP:OSE declare, "In categories of items with a finite number of entries where most are notable, it serves no useful purpose to endlessly argue over the notability of a minority of these items"; such selective deletion undermines "the purpose of Wikipedia being a comprehensive reference." This would become the only entry in Jonas' discography without an independent article, and as his debut album the gap would be conspicuous. MaranoFan (talk) 12:51, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
• Weak keep - while this first solo effort appears to have been a dud, the artist is now one of the top singers in the world. Our readers will likely look for this article. Should we perhaps stubbify or find a good merger target? Bearian (talk) 17:52, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

• Keep (possibly redirect until someone wants to write the article). So far as I can tell the only argument for keeping it is that it's by Nick Jonas - in other words people are claiming wp:INHERITED. Which is not only on the list of arguments to avoid in a deletion discussion, it's explicitly called out in wp:NALBUM. Notability hasn't clearly been established so this is indicative of a delete vote. On the other hand there is the allmusic review. And I'm going to suggest it is highly unlikely there won't be a page on it in one of his biographies (although have no intention of actually reading one of them).
