Barenaked Ladies demo tapes
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Bunching all their demo tapes into one article does not fix the fact that no secondary sources exist. The only sources here are all primary sources and a dodgy looking discography site. A search for these titles + Barenaked Ladies found only those infernal books that copy wikipedia articles. Last AFD failed to reach consensus, with no arguments from either side dealing in any way with policy, notability or availability of sources — just "Keep, it's notable" and "Delete, it's not notable".

 * Keep There are already other notable sources in this article, including a TV documentary on the band, and a VH1 special. What other sources would you need for the tapes to count as notable? If the previous AFD from a little over a month ago didn't receive a consensus, why would it now? Marqueesigns (talk) 21:47, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I would consider the documentaries primary sources, since the references are from the band itself. Also, as for the latter, you just answered your own question. I redid it because the last AFD had no consensus. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 22:10, 22 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - Likely to turn out the same as the first AFD, and my opinion remains teh same so I shall lazily copy it. There is little coverage to establish that the body work encompassing their demo tapes is notable. The lone exception the Yellow Tape (I no longer have my copy alas) which really propelled them on their way to stardom, but that already has an article. -- Whpq (talk) 18:16, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
