• Redirect to The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster as there doesn't appear to be anything more than mentions on the album. Thus notability is not demonstrated. As an aside, @Woodensuperman: - do you have anything against it being a redirect to the band as the logical link? Nosebagbear (talk) 19:12, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No strong objection, although it doesn't seem to be a likely search term as it appears to be a fabricated name for the sampler. --woodensuperman 11:32, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

True, but as always, redirects are cheap Nosebagbear (talk)

The title of this article is wrong because that is not the name of the record. So a search for that false title is certainly unlikely. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 20:43, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - I do realize that redirecting to the band's article is now the accepted procedure for non-notable albums, but see my comment above on the actual title of the record. The article under discussion here has a title that is unlikely to be used as a search term because it's not the item's name, thus making a redirect nonsensical. Therefore my recommendation is to simply delete due to lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. In effect, the record is a one-time curiosity for fans that has not been noticed by the rest of the world. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eighties Matchbox Original Two Track Demo, which has a false title too. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 20:50, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. The album doesn't appear to be notable. This title doesn't seem useful to retain as a redirect. --Michig (talk) 07:57, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
