Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Shores of Molokai
There are no reliable sources out there to show that this album is ultimately notable at this point in time. Will it be? Maybe. Buckethead is a notable person and it's possible that there could be more coverage. We can't guarantee that though, as even the more mainstream bands and artists have had times where they released albums that got little to no attention. As far as deleting ''all'' of his albums, that's a little hasty. Some of them could very much be notable and have gotten enough coverage to pass notability guidelines in one format or another. Then again, maybe they didn't. The other albums aren't the ones that are up for deletion right now, so stating that  is not a valid argument because all that might mean is that someone hasn't gotten around to listing them for deletion yet. As far as the source in the article goes, it's a primary source and cannot show notability. It merely shows that it exists, and existing is not notability, no matter how notable Buckethead is. Very few people are so notable that everything they did would be considered notable as well. People of that level of notability would be someone along the lines of Shakespeare or maybe the Beatles, but even then there are limits. That's an astronomical and almost near impossible level of notability to reach. Buckethead is not at that level at this time. Now with all of that being said, I have no problem with someone wanting to userfy a copy of the article if they wanted to continue to work on it. If the IP user is so inclined to sign up for an account and work on finding reliable sources, I have no problem with that. We just can't keep an article unless there's some reliable sources to show notability and we can't keep an article under the idea that eventually there might be sources. (
