This is an article on a senior thesis by Trey Anastasio. This is a bootleg, and as such is unofficial and prone unreliable claims. Article itself has insufficient inline citations and is unreliable. Non-notable fancruft. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 15:04, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep and speedy close (again). While this was never released, it has seen a circulation on par with their label-released albums, albeit as band-sanctioned bootlegs. The album figures prominently in the development of the band, and, were this article deleted, would be a glaring omission in their discography. It has been covered in reliable sources. &mdash;  Music  Maker  5376  15:10, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * This is a bootleg so no reliable circulation figures exist. You cannot reliably comment on circulation. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 15:12, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't really think that circulation figures are the only basis of notability. See these sources. &mdash;  Music  Maker  5376  15:26, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

 * There is nothing "unofficial" about this album. It was never released because it was recorded in college.  The songs were staples of their concerts.  &mdash;  Music  Maker  5376  15:30, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep, agree w/ that there has been enough coverage in WP:RS sources.  Cirt (talk) 21:09, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Satisfies WP:RS and passed AFD with a keep decision only a few months back. 23skidoo (talk) 21:47, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. The album is notable in that it has been written about by a number of reliable third parties.  The article sites some of these as references.  Unreliable claims should be noted as such or removed from the article, but that's a separate discussion. — Mudwater (Talk) 23:40, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. An important part of Anastasio and Phish history.  Some early theses are notable – see Hillary Rodham senior thesis for example – and this is one of them.  Wasted Time R (talk) 22:11, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
