I find not enough to help the article meet WP:GNG. A quick search found mentions in the usual metal webzines and websites, none of which are RSes. https://www.allmusic.com/album/molesting-the-decapitated-mw0002047686 is simply a database entry: no review or rating. Important content can be merged to the band article. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:44, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep — I do definitely think the article deserves to be here especially if you’re knowledged in slam. If Devourment themselves can have a Wikipedia article then it should come with the territory that their most notorious album should as well. It just doesn’t feel right to have it missing.

- If you could supply sources to support the claim that it deserves to be here, that would help determine why. Notability is not inherited. Not every work of a notable band is itself notable. Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:04, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yah I know which is why I said this album in particular is their most notable work, and besides I already edited the page and added a source before I even commented lol. Second Skin (talk) 08:45, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - I am sure that you aware that http://relapse.com/devourment-obscene-majesty/ is a primary source. The label is linked to the band and does not help the subject meet WP:GNG, and their job is to hype the band. Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:24, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- None of that constitutes a valid reason to keep an article. Notability isn’t inherited, and unsourced claims of importance or weird baseless comments like "it wouldn’t feel right” aren’t policy-based either. Sergecross73 msg me 22:57, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - lacks independent notability - fails the WP:GNG. Will reconsider if sources are found (Not gonna lie, didn’t exactly want to do a deep dive on source searching with this one, considering where the false positive could take someone...) Sergecross73 msg me 22:57, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Devourment: Barely found anything about the album. ASTIG😎 _{(ICE T • ICE CUBE)} 06:15, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
