Fails WP:ALBUMS; non-notable mixtape. DiverseMentality^{(Discuss it)} 05:53, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, if properly sourced - this blog seems to indicate that a degree of controversy has surrounded this release. If proper sources can be found that show this (the blog quotes someone mentioning Wal-Mart and Target although doesn't go into detail) this could be used to assert some notability. -- JediLofty ^{User ¦ Talk} 10:32, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I re-read the blog, following DCEdwards1966 comment, and have changed my opinion! -- JediLofty ^{User ¦ Talk} 14:59, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, fails WP:MUSIC: "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". Article very lacking in WP:RS.  Esradekan Gibb  ^"Talk" 12:44, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If it is, as the blog I mentioned above seems to imply, a controversial release, that should confer some notability, yes? That is, of course, assuming that reliable sources can be found. -- JediLofty ^{User ¦ Talk} 13:54, 13 June 2008 (UTC) I'm an idiot, and mis-read the blog! -- JediLofty ^{User ¦ Talk} 14:59, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as non-notable. The blog referenced above says the controversy was about the name of his next album, not this mixtape. DCEdwards¹⁹⁶⁶ 14:46, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak delete per above Ben1283 (talk) 17:19, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete A good example of notable mixtapes is the We Got It 4 Cheap series, but this isn't. It can easily be mentioned in Untitled (Nas album) anyway. Spellcast (talk) 23:18, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - I agree with Spellcast, this is a non-notable mixtape which can have a short mention in the album page. - Guerilla In Tha Mist (talk) 18:20, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
