Illiteracy Will Prevail
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Per this discussion, this article should be reconsidered for deletion. The album is non-existent, having never been released commercially. The track list is unknown; many songs have never even been heard by the public. Too much information surrounding the record is theoretical and unknown. Perhaps the only reason it exists is because of Cobain's future band, Nirvana. The last AfD, in July, was not well exposed and only had three responses. NSR 77 T C  20:31, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete No sources. Almost no verifiable info to merge. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 20:36, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Contains unverifiable speculation and has no reliable sources to show that this unreleased album has been written about in any great detail. Therefore fails WP:V, WP:OR, WP:N and the notability criteria at WP:ALBUM. --JD554 (talk) 06:38, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into the main Fecal Matter article. Almost all the information can be verified by reliable sources, but admittedly not all of it is necessary.  ~Asarlaí  12:01, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect into Fecal Matter (band). There are books about Nirvana and Kurt Cobain that do mention the tape, but mostly under the name of the band (Fecal Matter) Here's what Google Books throws up. Doc StrangeMailbox Logbook 15:26, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge into Fecal Matter (band). Teemu08 (talk) 20:12, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. WesleyDodds (talk) 07:14, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete; Fecal Matter (band) is barely notable too (see the link in NSR's statement up top) and will probably get AfD'd when I get around to it. Giggy (talk) 07:26, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep/Merge/Shorten. I think the function of wikipedia is also to give people some basic insight into things they've just come across. at least, this article helped me. the track listing is just perfect. i think the tape is an essential thing to the insight of the artist. it doesn't occur to me how there could be articles about every officially released music, but not about the earliest works, the pure cassette tape of the artist. artists manufacture some work. and this is definately a work of kurt cobain, so i think it should have a place on wiki.91.45.241.72 (talk) 15:03, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * This recording does not adhere to Wikipedia's notability guidelines. It was not commericially released, few people have heard it, and little is known about its actual contents. WesleyDodds (talk) 22:14, 29 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge as above, and I won't be surprised when Giggy AfDs this so-called "band." Let me get this straight: the band did a single gig as a lead in to another group, put together a single demo tape, and promptly expired.  This is a footnote in Cobain's career, nothing more, and should properly be in his article.    RGTraynor  15:19, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * That's perfectly said. NSR 77  T C  15:23, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
