Blaze Ya Dead Homie (EP)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

For the following reasons this article meets criteria for deletion:

Therefore, there are just a few unreliable sources (including fan sites) which can provide only basic and inaccurate information about this album.
 * Fail to meet Wikipedia's General notability guideline: since the album's release in 2000, it hasn't gained significant independent coverage in reliable media publications and haven't been ranked on any national or significant music charts.

Demos, mixtapes, bootlegs, promo-only, and albums that haven't gained significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subjectare are not notable.
 * Fail to meet Wikipedia's albums notability guideline:


 * There is not enough reliable sources to expand the article with adding sufficient information. JuventiniFan (talk) 05:37, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages because the same reasons mentioned above:

 * Delete all, demos/mixtapes are almost inherently non-notable since no sources every pay attention to them. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 13:35, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep — these releases all charted on the Billboard 200. The artist is well known within a cult audience, and has a strong association with well-known artists such as Insane Clown Posse, Twiztid, Big B, Kutt Calhoun, R.O.C., and Boondox, and is signed to a well-known label, Psychopathic Records. One of the songs from the album Colton Grundy: The Undying appeared in the video game 25 to Life. None of these albums are demos or mixtapes, despite what Ten Pound Hammer JuventiniFan claims.

 * Strike that user name. I just realized that it was the nominator that made this mistake, not Ten Pound Hammer. (Sugar Bear (talk) 20:58, 20 February 2010 (UTC))


 * Weak Keep Blaze Ya Dead Homie (EP) / Keep Clockwork Gray / Keep Colton Grundy: The Undying / Delete GangRags --- these aren't mixtapes so that rule does not apply. Was enough WP:BEFORE work done before this combined AfD? Verifiable sources for the first EP are slim but the artist has achieved notability. The two studio albums (Clockwork Gray and Colton Grundy) have charted rather strongly and therefore are notable. The only problem is with GangRags which should be deleted per WP:CRYSTAL and WP:HAMMER. Otherwise, these articles need expansion, not deletion. Yes, independent verifiable sources (beyond AllMusic and Billboard) are few but that might be the fault of the media. D OOMSDAYER 520  (Talk|Contribs) 18:59, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment — GangRags does not have any crystal ball comment. It cites reliable sources. (Sugar Bear (talk) 19:18, 22 February 2010 (UTC))
 * Comment - GangRags still needs a WP:CRYSTALHAMMER. Per WP:NALBUMS "unreleased albums are in general not notable" and Twitter is not a reliable source. VernoWhitney (talk) 18:13, 25 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep With the exception of GangRags, all albums clearly pass WP:NALBUMS as they were released by a notable artist and have reached national music charts. Rather than deletion they need to be better sourced. Juggalobrink (talk) 20:59, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
