This article was tagged as a G11-speedy, and not without reason. As it stands, the article is spammy, and not reliably-sourced. However, Tesla is famous enough that even I've heard of them, so I assume the article is easy to clean. Just sending this to AfD to ensure it isn't a hoax (and, one hopes, start the cleanup.)

- Keep. Tesla (band) is notable and this album is not a hoax. It just needs cleanup. Should be tagged as such. --Crunch 20:48, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
DeleteI've done a bit of searching, and it doesn't look like they meet any of the criteria in WP:BAND to me. Guinness 22:52, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]- Comment. If that's your argument, you should start a separate AfD for Tesla (band) which has had its own article since 18 June 2004. This AfD is specifically for their newest album. FWIW, all of their previous albums also have articles, so you'll probably want to start AfDs for those articles as well. HOWEVER, before you begin, you might want to re-read the criteria for WP:BAND, maybe specifically the part about releasing two or more albums on a major label or having a charted hit. They clearly meet the criteria. --Crunch 23:58, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Okay, I did just look for the band and album name. If Tesla have their own article, which hasn't been AFD'd, then I'll leave it at that. Guinness 02:09, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete The band is notable, and that might make this album notable, but it is a copyvio. The text of this article is a straight copy from the bands website. Resolute 05:11, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]- Comment. Oh come on. All it needed was a quick cleanup of the copyvio part, not a speedy delete of the entire article. I've taken care of that, which took about two minutes of reference back to the Tesla web site and to the information in the articles on their other albums. --Crunch 07:07, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep cleaned up version. Resolute 13:38, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
