Hit the Lights (album)

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

Self-released demos. Never commercially available, therefore are obscure, and prone to unsourced claims. All demos are dealt with in the Metallica demos page, so I don't see why each demo needs an article. Things "Though the demo officially had no name, bootlegs were titled Power Metal based on a Metallica business card" from Power Metal make me think that line between demo and bootleg is being blurred. Some of the covers are fan made too.

I am also nominating the following related pages for the same reason:

 * Keep!! Metal up your ass rules!!! Metalintheass (talk) 15:47, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I think this comment can be disregarded. Keeping something on the basis that it "rules" is questionable. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 15:57, 20 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep!! Okay, fair enough. Although it does rule. Metalintheass (talk) 16:16, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Also, I think "Metal up Your Ass!" is in fact notable given that it's an important step towards "Kill Them All", Metallica's first studio album. Metalintheass (talk) 16:19, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree from the stand point of a fan, but we're running into third-party WP:RS issues here.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 01:09, 21 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge, none of these demo's pass WP:MUSIC notability. Merge what ever info isn't there into the Metallica demos page.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 01:09, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge per Eskradekan. A comprehensive dmeos article might be a good read. But they are not notable enough to have seperate articles.Yobmod (talk) 10:30, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge all to Metallica demos per above. PhilKnight (talk) 12:25, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
