I can't find significant coverage for this unreleased album. Joe Chill (talk) 16:48, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Per WP:NALBUMS, "Demos, mixtapes, bootlegs, promo-only, and unreleased albums are in general not notable; however, they may be notable if they have significant independent coverage in reliable sources." I can not find the coverage needed to satisfy the criteria. Gongshow Talk 17:02, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. This album, although unreleased, was a significant part of Laura Branigan's career. One of the singles released, "Looking Out For Number One" was a dance hit and gave solid proof that Branigan could make it in the music business.This album was also the reason that Ahmet Ertegun, founder and president (at the time) of Atlantic signed her. Branigan had a 13 year collaboration with Atlantic, releasing every one of her 7 studio albums, and one "best-of" album. The importance of this album, "Silver Dreams" easily warrants having its own Wikipedia Page! -WhakoJacko2009 - 1/1/10 —Preceding unsigned comment added by WhakoJacko2009 (talk • contribs) 22:21, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- That's irrelevant. The article fails WP:MUSIC. Joe Chill (talk) 22:34, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. The album itself may have been canceled and remains unreleased but there was a single released from it which became Branigan's very first club hit. This means that it is notable due to being Branigan's "big break" as it were, and also the beginning of huge success. The article's content is sourced with suitable references and could easily be expanded to cover more information about the single. Dell9300 (talk) 22:54, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete This warrants a mention on the artist's page, certainly, but is not notable in and of itself per WP:NALBUMS. --A1octopus (talk) 22:20, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

- Delete, the album is not notable, if there is significant coverage for the single then a new page should be created for it. The single is mentioned in the artist's page already. J04n(talk page) 03:12, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - These is no significant coverage in reliable sources that I am able to find that cover this album. If, as asserted, that the album was a signficant part of her career, then this would have been written about in some fashion. -- Whpq (talk) 19:14, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I question that the single was Branigan's big break; her WP biography says only that "a single called "Looking Out For Number One" made a brief appearance on the U.S. Dance chart." Yappy2bhere (talk) 00:35, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
