Bootleg Is Resistance

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

I don't know why the template didn't substitute correctly for me, but here's my reasoning: - This topic does not appear to be notable; while it has four external links, two are the album and artists' own pages, none are to coverage of the album. - As the artist himself (or at least, someone sharing the artist's name, who has never no unrelated edits) is editing the page, it appears to be a vanity page and therefore unencyclopedic. - Possibly original research.

 * Delete Mash-up albums aren't notable on their own. The masher-up is a red link and definitely non-notable; therefore, this album isn't either. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 16:45, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Do whatever you want Well, I saw the page existed and that someone made it, believe it or not, I'm not the one who made this page in a first place. However, it was not complete, which is why I just completed the missing informations. It's been posted in a few different blogs (maybe some I don't know), I know Culture Bully and Mashuptown did each a post about it, I also posted this album on NIN forums where it got a pretty good reception. But in fact, I should have done a page about With Boots as many NIN fans on the Internet have heard about it and often heard it, partially or completely. One of the tracks from it, We're in this Blurred Line Closer Now, is ranked #2 on the official "Remix NIN" website, after an official remix, on the number of listens and the number of comments. I think my mashup work is pretty much recognized within the "NINternet" community, and the bootleggers community, maybe it's not enough to have a Wikipedia page of its own, it's OK, I've never been after that kind of thing. For a last information, I've been scrobbled more than 50,000 times on LastFM, which I'm sure is more than many artists who have a page on Wikipedia. Totom (talk) 01:14, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment I put the original on the article because it was a lousy piece of work. I don't know if the artist is notable (I wonder how TPH established that he isn't), but I do know that our notability criteria don't work well for mash up art. And I don't believe it's a vanity page, either. Rl (talk) 07:34, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
