Comment: Please see the guidelines at WP:NALBUM which explain what makes a studio album notable. Unfortunately, this article does not qualify. Additionally, its popularity on YouTube does not make it notable either per the fact it is subjective importance. JacobTheRox(talk | contributions) 23:13, 24 June 2025 (UTC)
