Fails WP:GNG and WP:NALBUM. Not convinced at all about the notability of this album – I redirected this to Sam Smith discography#Live albums but it was reverted by an IP, so I am bringing it here for further discussion. Despite the artist's fame, this album has gone almost unnoticed – the Billboard article in the sources is about the concert last year which resulted in this album, not the album itself, and the other sources in the article are primary sources (Smith's website, the studios' website, and UDiscover, which is owned by Universal Music, Smith's record label). Other sources online are simply promotional announcements that the album is to be released, for example [1], [2] and [3], none of which discuss the album in any detail beyond "it's coming out" and a track listing. The only review I can find is a non-RS user contribution to an online community website, which is pretty superficial anyway [4]. The only places I can find that this album has charted is one week at no. 129 in France [5] and one week at no. 80 on the Billboard Current Album Sales [6], not one of Billboard's major charts, and very minor chart placings on both in any case – these chart placings could easily be included in the discography where I originally redirected the album to, and the news of the concert and its subsequent release as an album could be added as one sentence to Sam Smith#2019–present: Love Goes.

• Delete The Telegraph review, RS Cover review, Small BB mention. There is enough coverage to become an article on its own. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 11:20, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@MarioSoulTruthFan: The Daily Telegraph review is of the concert last year, not the album. The Rolling Stone article talks about one song, the Cyndi Lauper cover, and doesn't have any coverage of the rest of the album. That just leaves the one paragraph in Billboard, which again is little more than a list of tracks included. Richard3120 (talk) 11:37, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I tought there was the review of the album, my bad. Changed the vote. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 11:52, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. I just think there's a danger when you try and conflate the concert review with the album... are they reviewing the music on the record, or the whole visual performance as well? This is why I'm really not sure whether the album itself is notable by itself. Richard3120 (talk) 12:45, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Sam Smith discography, which can include albums' few chart positions. Max24 (talk) 18:12, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Note that Max24 above is the creator of this article, and is also now suggesting a redirect. Richard3120 (talk) 17:19, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
