 * Merge Strong Keep : I would say a demo by Marilyn Manson would be notable.  -- Oliver  Twisted  (Talk)  03:40, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
 * From WP:NSONGS: Demos, mixtapes, bootlegs, promo-only, and unreleased albums are in general not notable; however, they may be notable if they have significant independent coverage in reliable sources. Just being a demo from a notable artist doesn't mean anything. I don't see what makes this demo notable, so Delete .  TJ   Spyke   04:08, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge into Marilyn Manson (band). Early demos, including this one, "revealed that the band, then known as Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids, possessed some real musical ability and plenty of interesting ideas, most involving sound effects and tape loops", but I don't think there are enough sources to justify its own article (if there are, I couldn't find them).
