- Weak keep - notable label (Def Jam), videos appeared on notable TV channels.-h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 09:35, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep - While the album may not have charted, I'd like to see some proof, Juelz Santana is famous, albiet not famous world wide, he is well known in the rap world and to a greater extent in New York. As the above poster said, he is signed to a major label. He has appeared on many nationally broadcasted television shows, BET 106 & Park, MTV TRL. He has also seen some fame in the United Kingdom. A look at the template for the group would show he has been featured in many of their albums. Also, I remember a time, in New York, where the songs, "Oh Yes," and "There It Go (The Whistle Song)," received play in both the television and radio for quiet some time.--BaRiMzI 15:54, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- From Me to U - Strong Keep - Another album that for some may be unnecessary but again garnered fame for the artist in question. This was Jeulz Santana's debut album. Another album that may not have been well know in all of the world but was a hit in New York. A background on the group The Diplomats will let you know that they are a New York based group and a majority of their fame and fans are from New York. Another look at the page will again show that Juelz Santana is featured in a majority, if not all, Diplomat albums. Please reconsider before deleting any of his albums. While a user may have felt these albums were unfitting to be in an encyclopedia, this album was like the album above, released under a major label, Def Jam. How can this man or his albums be seen an not notable enough if a major label, at least in the rap world, both signed him and continues to allow him to release albums. Had these albums not been successful, why I still want proof of the claim that the albums did not chart, the label would have surely released him of his contract and then we would need not know about Juelz Santana and his albums.--BaRiMzI 16:06, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I referenced the albums, references are links to their respective pages with tracklisting on the Def Jam Recordings website. External Links have also been provided.--BaRiMzI 17:55, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Furthermore, upon searching the albums What the Game's Been Missing!, peaked at #1 on both the Top Rap Albums and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts and #9 in the Billboard 200 chart according to Billboard.com, and From Me to U, peaked at #8 in the Billboard 200 and #3 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, on billboard.com, it showed the two albums did indeed chart, contrary to the nominating users claim. Proof can be found here. This has been/will be added to the albums pages with references. If this does not prove said albums notability then I don't know what does.--BaRiMzI 18:47, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- UPDATE - All pages have been updated and referenced. My argument against deletion pertains only to nominated albums and not the singles although the singles themselves have been referenced and had external links also added to them. For the singles I say Keep.--BaRiMzI 19:21, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Strong keep and speedy close. Juelz Santana is notable, imparting notability to his albums (see WP:MUSIC#Albums). Precious Roy 08:39, 10 July 2007 (UTC) (EDIT: keep the other albums and singles, too)[reply]
- Comment. No, that says albums of a notable musician may have sufficient notability for their own article. WP:NOTINHERITED. --Geniac 14:01, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment And Santana's notability + #1 Billboard charting album + an AMG review = ?
- Also, from WP:NOTINHERITED: "This is an essay. It is not a policy or guideline; it merely reflects some opinions of its author(s)." Why bother waving it around if it's just an opinion? Precious Roy 14:34, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I wasn't saying this album isn't notable; it certainly seems to be, so here's my Keep. You gave inheritance from the artist's notability as your only reason to keep, so I was just pointing out that that's not necessarily a good basis for a keep. Yes, based on an essay, but essays should be able to be waved around if they make sense. --Geniac 15:10, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep All Notable artist - notable albums. I may be somewhat skeptical about the notability of From Me to U, but still keep. This nomination is somewhat silly, too, if it's not too bold to say. ♣ Klptyzm Chat wit' me § Contributions ♣ 04:16, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
