Not For Your Ears

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article has been deleted and recreated no less than 4 times (twice as speedy; twice as PROD). Recently recreated, PROD'd, and de-PROD'd, it's time that this had a full discussion. This is a bootleg with no inherent demonstration of notability per WP:MUSIC; i.e. there is not sufficient independent coverage of this to demonstrate that it is any way a notable part of the musicians' discography... I'd say it should be deleted. Isotope23 17:11, 5 July 2007 (UTC) http://evanescencereference.info/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page. This has everything evanescence in one database including reasons not to download "You". HappiestCamper 11:37, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I am inclined to agree with your assessment. I am not aware of any consensus regarding bootlegs, but this example certainly seems to fail the written guideline.  Adrian  M. H.  17:45, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and Salt possibly using the protected redirect method (back to Evanescence). Given the history of this article, this needs to end here and now. Absolutely nothing can be sourced aside from lyric sites, fan boards, download sites, etc; I can find no news source which has written about this material. --  Huntster  T • @ • C 21:22, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete. There is nothing on this article which suggests it is in any way notable. Terraxos 01:34, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete. This is no more than a bootleg that contains Amy Lee's "You" which, as you all know, is a very personal song to her and shouldn't have been released. Having this article here only informs Evanescence fans about a song which they're not supposed to know is in existance. Also if fans really want to know about it, we could post a link on the main evanescence page directing them to
 * Just so you know, the forbidden Amy Lee song is mentioned, rightly or wrongly, in passing in the Amy Lee article. Extraordinary Machine 18:41, 7 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete; unofficial bootleg, the existence of which can't be verified through independent reliable sources. This kind of material is more suitable for the Evanescence Reference, which, as mentioned above, already has an article on the bootleg. Extraordinary Machine 18:41, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * It's fine that "You" is mentioned in the Amy Lee article as it is a song by her. But thanks for telling me about it anyway HappiestCamper 18:46, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
