The Mixtape About Nothing

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

Mixtape: Non-notable per WP:MUSIC. Mdsummermsw (talk) 13:01, 2 June 2008 (UTC) 
 * Delete WP:MUSIC.    Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 13:26, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete unless sources are added to demonstrate that this is more than your "usual" mixtape. I prodded an earlier version of this last week, and the rationale there ("Non-notable unreleased mixtape. I can't see any way this will ever be expandable to fit WP:N.") currently still stands. —  iride  scent  14:16, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep an entire article on Entertainment Weekly's website was dedicated to this mixtape. Thats more than "trivial coverage". Not to mention Julia Louis-Dreyfuss appears on this. Yes its slim, but its only been released for a week, I believe this nomination is premature.  ALKIVAR &trade; &#x2622; 02:19, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Malinaccier (talk) 02:29, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak keep per the EW article, I'm sure more reliable sources exist or at least will exist given the album's newness. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 02:44, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete despite the EW article. We can all speculate that additional articles may exist in the future, but the time for an article is not until they actually do. I don't think one article, even in EW, is enough to cement notability for a mix tape that will supposedly be released soon. Erechtheus (talk) 04:20, 9 June 2008 (UTC) Weak keep. In spite of WP:NOT and WP:CRYSTAL, now that it is clear we have coverage in more than EW, this probably has a place here. Erechtheus (talk) 22:32, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep clearly notable. This whole nomination is misguided; even if this did not deserve a stand-alone article, the content would need to be merged into the artist page. Chubbles (talk) 15:25, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - I've just restored the AfD tag to the article for the second time . Removing the AfD tag will not resolve the issue. Discussing it here will. Thanks. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 16:12, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep obviously notable, there's referrences to huge media outlets like Rolling Stone and Entertainment Weekly, as well as smaller (but very notable) independent sources like URB and The Fader. Not to mention notable actress Julia Louis Dreyfuss appeared on the album. This article is obviously many times more notable than most albums, yet alone "mixtapes". Just because wikipedians are ignorant of the obvious notability of this article doesn't change the fact that it is notable. Completely agree with ALKIVAR that this nomination was premature. So far the only objections have been from Erechtheus, claiming we need more sources, which we now do, and Iridescent, who said the same thing. But now we have more and more notable sources than would ever be needed to pass notability. All objections have been met; the article should be taken off of AfD.

Comment even Wired has run an article on this mixtape: http://blog.wired.com/music/2008/05/interview-rappe.html as did the Washington Post: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/26/AR2008052601752.html?hpid=topnews  I think we've clearly passed the bar for notability... time to close this.

 * Keep - Just because it's a mixtape doesn't automatically mean it doesn't deserve an article. It's notability has been confirmed from Entertainment Weekly, Washington Post and Rolling Stone coverage. - Guerilla In Tha Mist (talk) 18:31, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - Very well-known mixtape. Will gain wide circulation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.118.207.112 (talk) 08:15, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
