Adam's Case Files Mixtape
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable mixtape. Mixtapes are generally considered not notable in the first place, and there's nothing about this one that makes it any different. No independent references at all. Fails WP:MUSIC. PROD contested by original author. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 15:17, 2 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Update: I am adding this article to the discussion:




 * User:Bmedick, the original author of the first article, later created the article without "mixtape" in the title, and redirected the first article to this one. In doing so, he wiped out the AfD notice on the old article and did not post it again on the new one. As the new article is nearly identical to the old one, this appears to be an effort by the original author to evade the AfD process. I have warned him accordingly, and added the new article to the discussion, and also reverted the old article to maintain the proper revision history. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 09:21, 5 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. Lack of independent references from authoritative sources is main reason. --Quartermaster (talk) 16:22, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

I appreciate the further description of this matter. Information regarding this album was found at an independent website, not the artists MySpace page, personal web site or the record label web page. This is not a collection of songs from various artists randomly created by an unreliable source. This album is produced, performed and copyrighted by 88-Keys and Decon Records. The album is available for digital download and was released to promote the major debut of 88-Keys' album The Death of Adam which will be released on October, 28, 2008, executively produced by Kanye West, which makes it a very legitimate album. Information regarding this mixtape was found at a reputable website which I did reference, and has no ties to the artist in any way. This article was made to promote the effort that 88-keys has put into his work, wherther it be this mixtape, his new album or any previous works produced and performed by him. As it relates to 88-Keys, I created this article to give people an idea about this influencial hip-hop artist and pioneer. If I cannot write an article about his work, with legitimate sources, without it being deleted then what is the point. I believe that if this article is about him, and many other websites are promoting this album, which I have referneced, making it important to the artists history, there should be no conflict of interets. I do not know what else I should do, please advise. If I have to I'll contact the artist and his label for more advice.75.4.137.196 (talk) 06:06, 4 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Contacting the label would be futile, as it would have no positive effects on this discussion, and would likely have negative effects instead. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 09:22, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

In addition I have added more sources and external links in regards to this album that are not related to the artist, the record label, or any promotional website. This album, although labeled as mixtape by me, is actually a precursor to the artists debut album being released in october. Please advise75.4.137.196 (talk) 06:07, 4 September 2008 (UTC) 
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, NonvocalScream (talk) 20:16, 7 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete both Mixtapes are almost inherently not notable. I see nothing that asserts the notability of these. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 22:04, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
