As a fan of this band I am personally undecided for this debate, but this album almost certainly falls under the WP:NALBUMS definition of a non-notable bootleg and/or promo-only recording. To my knowledge it has never been acknowledged by the band, and in this forum post a collector admits that it started out as a personal download project that got out of hand. The album keeps creeping around in the band;s community of fans, as can be seen periodically at Talk:The Mars Volta (sections 37, 47, 48). It remains an item of interest to fans because of the presence of some unreleased songs that are not available elsewhere. Also note that an article for the album was already deleted once (see first nomination) in late 2009 after a much less detailed discussion. Reliable sources are a real problem too.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Strong Undecided - I looked and couldn't find anything outside of a ton of blogs and message boards, there seems to be significant (fan) coverage for a supposed bootleg... I'm not sure. Its on sale at plenty of sites, on discogs, I'm inclined to keep an album like this personally, but by the rules, it probably needs to be deleted. - Theornamentalist (talk) 04:05, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
