 * Keep Simply being a bootleg album should not be grounds for deletion. Other bootleg albums have articles (see Kum Back, Live'r Than You'll Ever Be, The Dark Side of the Moo, etc.). The article documents not just the album itself but the notable leaking of it. The album is notable (WP:NALBUM) because it has entries on AllMusic, complex.com, discogs.com, Amazon OneRPM. Also, the first 4 books in Google's search result have direct mentions of it. Other mentions can be found via the 'Find sources' links (just make sure you add "Eminem" to the search query). The article is long standing (left undisturbed for 9 years). The bootleg exists and we should document its existence instead of pretending it doesn't exist.Terrorist96 (talk) 05:32, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - enough coverage to meet WP:GNG, in my view. In addition to Allmusic and Complex, there are a pair of MTV write-ups which I added to the article that go into a fair amount of detail and can help to further expand the page.  gongshow   talk  01:00, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
