Live Phish Downloads: 06.07.09

Non-notable music download  Chzz  ►  12:55, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. What makes this different from all the other live show downloads that jam bands put up? The Weak Willed 14:36, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Do not delete. Whether or not it's different from other "jam bands" isn't the issue.  The following was on WP:NALBUMS regarding non-notable recordings: "Demos, mixtapes, bootlegs, promo-only, and unreleased albums".  And this release does not fall into any of those categories.  Therefore, I do not agree with this or any other Live Phish Downloads release being deleted. Rjvaughn1979 (talk) 15:19, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It's a bootleg. The Weak Willed 16:13, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * This is not a bootleg. Bootlegs are released without the artists' consent and are in effect illegal.  These recordings are sold by the band and are considered "official" as such.  Rjvaughn1979 (talk) 16:29, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Not all bootlegs are unofficial, and most aren't illegal. This is similar to what Linkin Park, Pearl Jam, the Allman Brothers and Disturbed do, they release the concert to download or as a CD. If it is part of a series, the series may be notable, but an individual recording isn't. In fact, I wouldn't be suprised if more Phish recordings get AFD'd. There also has to be WP:RS provided for each album.


 * It wouldn't be practical to make an article for every official live recording/bootleg released by artists. Wikipedia would turn into bootlegapedia. The Weak Willed 17:18, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep The definitions at bootleg and bootleg recording would definitely not include this recording.  Both say that bootlegs are recorded without the artist's knowledge and distributed without their intent.  This recording, and all Live Phish releases, are soundboard releases obviously recorded with the band's knowledge, and released through their official live download site.  I fail to see how this could be considered a bootleg.  &mdash;  Music  Maker  5376  19:47, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * So articles on each individual bootleg/live recording listed, , , and all the other artists that sell their live concerts online can be created and exist? The Weak Willed 20:10, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Apparently. "If the musician or ensemble that recorded an album is considered notable, then officially released albums may have sufficient notability to have individual articles on Wikipedia." &mdash;  Music  Maker  5376  21:56, 22 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete: The only source that I found for this was the article itself. Joe Chill (talk) 22:57, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: I also did a search and could only find one source. If there are more sources out there, I'd be willing to change my vote to Keep. TruthGal (talk) 06:27, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Those are about the concert and not the subject of the article which is Live Phish Downloads: 06.07.09. Joe Chill (talk) 21:59, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * They're about the subject of the recording. &mdash; Music  Maker  5376  22:48, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Exactly. Maybe someone should have created an article on the concert instead of the non-notable recording. Joe Chill (talk) 22:50, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Or how about an article that encompasses all of Phish's Official Bootleg Recordings? If MusicMaker5376 was to write that article, I think I'd support it. TruthGal (talk) 07:42, 23 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Such an article would be extraordinarily long: http://livephish.com/catalog.aspx &mdash; Music  Maker  5376  13:48, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
