The band have their own Wikipedia page and this should definitely Redirect to that. This has nothing to suggest the album is noteworthy in a world of several billion other albums. Without a single review or citation it is certainly not worthy (as it stands) of its own entry.

EDIT: I searched quickly and I didn't feel like I found anything much. In highsign I may have been wrong since other people seem to have found reliable sources. Apologies.

Keep - Upon the most basic effort of source searching - typing the name into
Google, within like less than a minute I found dedicated coverage from
reliable sources like
AllMusic and
Exclaim.
WP:ALBUM/SOURCES are clear that these sources have a consensus for being reliable. One of the songs from the album, "Rent a Wreck", was
used in a 2007 Prius Car commercial and its lyrics were cited by
PopMatters as a standout part Swedish Pop music
here in discussing their appearance on a
Labrador Records 10 year retrospective compilation release. If a little bit of digging found out this much, I'm sure there's plenty more out there, if that's not enough to begin with.

How did you miss this? The article is small, how did you go about nominating an article on the basis of being "unsourced" without checking for a reference section? Really, you're supposed to be following through on
WP:BEFORE, but at a bare minimum you need to actually be reading the article you're nominating for deletion. I'm also very puzzled as to what you feel is particularly "promotional" about it as well. (Note: the article looked like
this when it was nominated for deletion.)

Strong Keep Not to pile on but the AllMusic source alone would lean towards notability. Add the comments from Sergecross with regards to songs on the album and this is a no-brainer.

Comment - I've rewritten and expanded the article out of stub status using reliable sources. Please look over its current state rather than just looking at this rather misleading deletion nomination.

I'm perfectly happy with the improved article.

The page has improved significantly. When I looked at it previously it was just a track listing.

Comment - I think everyone, in various ways, including the nominator, have removed their opposition.
