Demos are assumed non-notable per WP:MUSIC. —Justin (koavf)TCM23:02, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep - Wikipedia's guideline for album notability: "In general, if the musician or ensemble that recorded an album is considered notable, then officially released albums may have sufficient notability to have individual articles on Wikipedia." This is an official Stryper album, consisting of songs from Stryper's pre-Stryper days, when they called themselves The Roxx Regime. This is not a demo. The album was released on 7 July 2007 by Stryper.[1][2][3][4][5] Notability is thusly established. The editor who placed this article in AfD is ignoring the provided reliable verifiable sources on the talk page and the article itself which show that "The Roxx Regime Demos" is not a demo, but is an album released in 2007 by Stryper.

  • Comment None of those sources establish notability, simply the existence of the demo, which was never in doubt.

Since it's a self-released demo, it is assumed non-notable by WP:MUSIC. —Justin (koavf)TCM02:01, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
