Mashed Potatoes (album)

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

Not even an article about an unreleased album, this article is devoted to a series of recordings Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan gave to friends as a gift. Fails WP:NALBUMS. WesleyDodds (talk) 04:49, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: the only reference links to a bootleg tracklist. Non-notable limited release demo WP:NALBUMS. JamesBurns (talk) 05:47, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Not an official album. Needs significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. None cited, none found. - SummerPhD (talk) 15:34, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per above, no need to say more. --Deenoe 15:42, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. The record is thoroughly reviewed by Allmusic, who calls it the "Holy Grail of Smashing Pumpkins collectibles". It exists and is significantly bootlegged; I see no reason to delete. NSR 77  T 01:10, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Allmusic reviews bootlegs all the time (for some reason). We've discussed on the music project talk page that a review does not necessarily constitute notability. WesleyDodds (talk) 04:41, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Perhaps not, but as Allmusic reviews often do, they present relevant history and information pertaining to the album. The Mashed Potatoes review does just that. NSR 77  T 05:19, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, fails notability per WP:MUSIC. Searching pulls up no more reliable, third-party, mentions apart from the Allmusic review.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 05:32, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
