Notability[edit]

Spl237, what was its chart position? If it is notable (WP:NALBUM or WP:GNG), then there is nothing in this article to confirm that. It is irrelevant that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Boleyn (talk) 15:22, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Chart positions are as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_de_Burgh_discography - 60 in the UK, 7 in Germany, 17 in Sweden, 49 in Austria. I have included a reference to the UK charts with evidence of the first of these. As per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(music)#Albums, "The single or album has appeared on any country's national music chart" is evidence of a recording being notable - this album has appeared on charts in several European countries, including a top 10 placing in Germany.

As before - these are higher chart positions than achieved by the preceding album, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hands_of_Man - if this album is insufficiently notable to justify its own page, then that one is also. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Spl237 (talk • contribs) 15:45, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Spl237, s before, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS isn't relevant. The issue here is that you have put an article in the mainspace which does not say why it is notable (doesn't give chart positions in the article for one) and doesn't have the sourcing to establish WP:GNG. If it was no 7 in Germany and no 17 in Sweden, that would meet WP:NALBUM. But it's not enough to just say it here, you need to say it in the article and you need to WP:VERIFY it.
