Bob Dylan bootleg recordings

While a reasonable article could be written on this topic, the present revision relies almost entirely on one unreliable source. Relevant sections can be folded into the main article as well as Great White Wonder. PROD was denied. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:49, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

I have removed the prod for several reasons, including I can now add a further reason, being a stub, or sub-standard article is not reason to delete an article and as the nominator says in his nomination a reasonable article could be written on this topic he confirms that the article should not be deleted. --Richhoncho (talk) 05:01, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Oppose . As per comment on talkpage placed when I removed the prod, which read:-
 * 1) The significance of Dylan and the bootlegging industry - the first ever bootleg was Dylan.
 * 2) Poorly referenced is not a reason for deletion
 * 3) There are numerous books and webpages devoted specifically to BobBoots.
 * 4) Bootlegs are the reason that the "The Bootleg" series were finally released.


 * I agree that this is a defective nomination. A Speedy Keep would be in order. Carrite (talk) 05:51, 25 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Per Richhoncho. The Wookieepedian (talk) 22:12, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose per both opposers. Johnbod (talk) 00:07, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Bootleg records more or less start with Dylan, he is a massive figure in this cul-de-sac of record collecting. This is really quite a nice piece, sourcing shortcomings notwithstanding. Multiple volumes of the published bootleg record collectors series Hot Wacks could be employed in improvement of the piece. Meets GNG. Carrite (talk) 05:47, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - The standard ways to opine here are "DELETE" if you feel something should be gone or "KEEP" if you feel something should stay. Other terms are ambiguous and should be avoided to make it easier for the closing administrator (i.e. the "judge" in this case). Carrite (talk) 05:50, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Significant coverage exists beyond Dylan's Great White Wonder or his Bootleg Series, including this book, this Rolling Stone article, this court case, and several mentions in these books. Like The Beatles bootleg recordings, this appears to be a notable topic.  Gongshow  Talk 16:08, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep, per all keep comments, but a heavy rewrite is in order. 143.92.1.33 (talk) 04:44, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
