Contested prod. No evidence that this 2-track myspace-released demo (an album of some 6 minutes?) is in any way notable. Redirecting to the band article is not really useful with such a title (it's not as if there were no other demos by other bands in 2008). No reliable independent sources about this release.

This demo is a valid release by the band. I don't see why other bands can have pages for their demos and you want this one to be deleted? [1] --Lesterklaassen (talk) 13:49, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Usually, other demo articles are deleted as well (with the exception of some demos which have received lotsof attention, mainly those by very high profile musicians). However, there are a lot of articles on Wikipedia that shouldn't be here, but that haven't been noticed yet, giving the impression to others that it is alright to creat similar articles. WP/MUSIC states that "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. Album articles with little more than a track listing may be more appropriately merged into the artist's main article or discography article, space permitting." We are not imposing some new rule on tha article you submitted, but are trying to have the same rules applied to all articles. Fram (talk) 13:57, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as insufficiently notable per WP:MUSIC#Albums, singles and songs. — Satori Son 14:22, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete From WP:NALBUM: "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 find no significant independent coverage in reliable sources - just downloads, bloggy things, Youtube etc. -- Boing! said Zebedee 14:23, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
