- Delete. Non notable without significant coverage of which I can find none. Rehevkor ✉ 17:07, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. NN. I am not sure of the significance between "demo" and "for sale" - a demo or to give it its full spelling "demonstration" is a recording for showing what the song/artist is capable of. Once it is for sale then it can't really be a demo, but an official recording. All by the way, as notability is not established. --Richhoncho (talk) 12:28, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Please define the word "demo" and place this album in that context. Just because an article brands something a demo does not make it so. The claim needs to be cited and there are no references in this article. Futhermore, a demo once released is no longer a demo but a release, QED, as pointed above by Richhoncho, though the master copy remains a demo. I can't !vote on whether this article should be kept, though, as I have no idea how notable its subject is, there being no references as I pointed out --Jubilee♫clipman 01:57, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Response There is no Wikipedia: namespace definition of a demo, but there is Demo (music) and the simple fact that this article explicitly states that this is a demo several times. A demo does not cease to be a demo once money is exchanged. Cf. Nebraska (album) or Magnapop (album), which are demo albums that someone can buy with cash money. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:40, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Nebraska proves the point well, whether or not my rationale is correct: your blunt statement that "Demos are assumed non-notable" is the issue here, as I pointed out in another debate. Now that you have contextualised that statement by stating that we need to prove WP:SIGCOV, then I concur. Springsteen's album consisting entirely of demos (therefore a "demo album" according to Demo (music)) is 100% notable, this album probably is not notable. Hence, I will now vote --Jubilee♫clipman 05:11, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - Fails WP:V and WP:SIGCOV --Jubilee♫clipman 05:11, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - to correct a misinterpretation/assumption in the nomination. The guideline WP:MUSIC says that demos are general not notable; however, they may be notable if they have significant independent coverage in reliable sources. Regards, SunCreator (talk) 00:08, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Indeed. That's a point the nom is fully aware of now after recent discussion elsewhere --Jubilee♫clipman 01:24, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
