J.O.A.T.

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

A bootlegged album, with no assertion on importance besides "one of the first bootleg albums to appear containing Jack Johnson songs." Most of the article is a listing of tracks. A google search turns up little. Grey Wanderer (talk) 17:15, 3 July 2008 (UTC) This collection was released with the artist's input and is respected by him and his fanbase (goggle "jack johnson" and "JOAT" for proof of this, or go to jackjohnson.com where there are entire threads dedicated to this collection). JOAT was the first collection of its kind and it does not make sense why the other articles about other "unofficial" recordings are left and only JOAT is being considered for deletion.

 * Delete Bootleg albums almost never meet notability guidelines. There're no sources here, so no reason to keep it around. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 17:20, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

 * This should not be deleted it is valuable information and I found the article very useful/helpful. Why delete an article that was already written?  Why would you want less information than is available?  Deleting this article goes against the foundations of Wikipedia.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.251.207.138 (talk) 19:42, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete With or without the artist's approval this is not a notable album. DJ Clayworth (talk) 20:05, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Question. Are you the same Beatnikdaddio who compiled this album?  tomasz.  10:41, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
