I haven't been able to find any coverage on this album minus the Amplifier article in the references (which are broken) and said website seemed to be a now-defunct music shop/distributor, so I'm not particularly sure how much I'd consider that a reliable source; the only other mention of this album I've been able to find right now was in a list of their discography.

Redirect to Supergroove: The Amplifier article (archived here) has a good bit to say on this album. I don't know enough about the site to judge whether it's reliable or not, but without any bylines and the likelihood that those articles are just unedited press releases, it doesn't look great. Regardless, it's not enough on its own, and I couldn't find anything else supporting notability. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 12:20, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don't know to what extent the following support keeping the article, but they are probably worth consideration for people making votes:

The album won an award for best album cover in New Zealand's major music awards event.
The same article just linked (which is a press release, to be clear, though from the awards ceremony rather than directly from the band or label) also notes that the "album debuted at number 10 on the New Zealand Album Chart, remaining in the Top 20 for four weeks, and the Top 50 for seven weeks going gold a week after release."
The New Zealand Herald gave it a 4-star review (with a byline!).
