Simply not notable. Apparently, this WAS to be released as a DVD, but nothing has been heard about this project for a long time, so it is probably safe to figure that it isn't going to be released. With that said, that makes it really nothing more than an article about a single concert, whose only accolade is that it was broadcast live on some pay-per-view channel.

- It is our common practice to merge less notable recordings of notable bands (and I think Megadeth is a notable metal band) to relevant discographies (Megadeth discography in this case). The DVD exists and the band's discography would be more complete and informative with the mention of the DVD. Merging would contribute to better encyclopedia, it would be definitely better than red link/no information. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 15:26, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Neither source acknowledges that the proposed DVD ever received an official release. I have read about bootleg versions floating around though, and that is why I consider this non-notable, it is unofficial, and thus is essentially an article on 1 (or 2 - i forget if they filmed at one or 2 shows) show, when the band has done probably over a thousand other shows.--L1A1 FAL (talk) 21:06, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. I found six articles where the DVD was mentioned, but it was only mentioned in passing each time and wasn't the subject of the coverage. It fits better as a mention in the Megadeth article, but there isn't significant-enough coverage under WP:GNG for a standalone article. --Batard0 (talk) 18:44, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
