The Limitless Potential

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Wholly inaccurate (Nine Inch Nails had nothing to do with it) and misleading (the "Press" link citations provided are actually Blogs, not reliable sources), but mainly, the album is not notable enough. I don't believe anything can be done to improve the article beyond removing the inaccuracies, which would leave it without a leg to stand on, notability-wise. As cool as the project is on its own merits, Wikipedia simply isn't the place for this article; the NIN wiki would be more appropriate. BotleySmith 18:04, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete - The 'blogs' are not just random personal blogs, so they could be considered as reliable sources, but they are no indication of notability. For something like this to be notable I would expect at least some coverage from more traditional sources - as it is this fails the notability criteria for albums. --Snigbrook ( talk ) 03:17, 6 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete this page, but perhaps retain/rework the mention of the album in relation to the public release of the master files in Year Zero (album). Incidentally, the album was recently reviewed on The Onion AV Club, though the reviewer miscaracterized it as an officially-sactioned release.  I don't know what that means if the "reliable source" is giving unreliable information, though. -- rynne (talk) 16:42, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * They very well may have been looking at this page to source that information. BotleySmith (talk) 04:51, 7 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Preserve this page, because this album/release stands for a new way of musician to consumer relationship and might be needed as indicator for other musicians/consumers. I don't know of any open source released album dedicated from/to a musician playing a role in international music business. That's what makes the nature of this album special. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.64.208.18 (talk) 22:18, 10 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Preserve this page. It is a direct product of Trent Reznor releasing multi-track audio files of his music from With Teeth and Year Zero and it should be used as an example of his choices. It's also a great exsample of the changing climate of the music industry in our digital age. Five years ago something like this would have simply not been thought of, but thanks to Trent embracing his fans, and the internet, it is possible now.
