Delete - Tricky one this. No question that this recording exists, and no question that it was by a notable band. Does it get it's own article, however? I think not in this case. It does not appear to be a particularly important recording by this band - it wasn't the first, or the last or even widely available when first released. Furthermore, for WP:Music (and this is key) there are no non trivial secondary sources. This is almost certainly due to the fact that band were not notable when it was released (becoming so later) and therefore non trivial reviewers never heard it. For all these reasons then, it is not notable on its own and should warrant, at best, a couple of lines on the band's page. --A1octopus (talk) 16:57, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete demo tape. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:00, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The band is certainly notable, and I'm a fan, but I can not find significant coverage for this demo in reliable sources, and therefore it does not meet WP:NALBUMS. I think the "Recordings" page on the band's official site handled it fine, with just a passing mention of the cassette. A similar mention within the band's main article and/or discography article is appropriate, but that's about it. Gongshow ^Talk 19:11, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - notable band, non-notable album, as it seems to fail WP:NALBUMS. Cocytus [»talk«] 04:03, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
