No assertion of notability. There are several kinds of such LPs--I don't see how or why this one is special. Anything that is really relevant (and can be sourced) could be included in LP album or Command Records or somesuch. I just don't see this particular product meriting its own article. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:18, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment These records were a thing of their day, and there might be a case for an article on them in general, discussing the different approaches used. (Not volunteering...) I can't see much case for an article on just one brand's product. I did decline a speedy, on the grounds that the red-linked performer criterion probably couldn't apply to a record of tones and anonymous feet crossing a wooden floored room from left to right, and then back again (assuming that's on this one). The performers on the B side are notable, but they are just there as fill up and promo. Peridon (talk) 12:42, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment No objection to folding the article into the Command Records article... --Marmelmm (talk) 22:56, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as above. Fails WP:GNG by itself. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:00, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:34, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge One of many stereo test records. Are there multiple independent and reliable sources, such as Stereo Review or Consumer Reports, or HiFi columns of other magazines or major newspapers, or technical books of the time, with significant coverage (not mere listings)?

Merge I note that the author of the article (Marmelmm) is happy with this. Peridon (talk) 20:01, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge Not sure how much there is to merge, but why not? Might not be independently notable, but is certainly a part of Command Records' history, worth at least a bullet point. Sven Manguard Wha? 06:55, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as per above. Sven Manguard summed up my thoughts on the subject. Gongshow ^Talk 02:18, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
