Tour EP
EP with 200 copies sold. Delete. BanyanTree 02:59, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - hopelessly non-notable. Light on context, too. MER-C 03:29, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I take an unpopular view on these things - a CD sold only on tour dates has equivalent status to a t-shirt or tour programme rather than the status of an ordinary CD release. Therefore, it shouldn't have an article of its own so it's a delete from me. Ac@osr 09:56, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * this album is part of his discography. plus all his other ep/albums have their own section... i don't think it should be removed Nyago
 * title has been changed to US Tour EP 2005 (Jens Lekman)
 * Delete: Like a t-shirt, yes, but the arguments for keep have been begging the question.  A document of a tour is assessed the same way any other disk is: sales, distribution, airplay, significance in the oeuvre.  This fails those guidelines.  Geogre 13:54, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, although there is dispute, the position at present is that if an artist is notable, their albums are notable but, even if this was a full length disc, it is still effectively tour merchandise because of the way in which it has been sold regardless of the numbers involved. A live album released commercially as a document of a tour is a different barrel of onions. Ac@osr 13:59, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * i still don't see why limited edition stuff shouldn't be included. what if it was from a small cd-r label? this isn't really a live release by the way. nyago
 * I'm aware that it isn't a live release but it appears only to have been sold at live shows. If a small CDR label was to issue something by a notable artist (an increasingly common event), and it was sold commercially throught the usual channels, I would be inclined in principle to support it, although the low numbers associated with CDR labels would put me off. But this is really just a tour souvenier rather than a proper release. Obviously it could be added to a discography or some such but I can't support an entry of its own.

 * i wouldn't really consider this to be "just some souvenier", though. i think it's more than that. would it make any difference if it had a more interesting title? i think that if an artist is notable enough, it should be included. it shouldn't matter what their albums are called or how many copies it may or may not have, as long it's somewhat useful for someone.

 * If there's nothing significance about this record, it could just be mentioned as a list item in some other article. There's nothing here to warrant a standalone page.  Delete. Ned Wilbury 15:13, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. -- Kf4bdy talk contribs 02:35, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. It's rather interesting that people compare this to a t-shirt.  It's not the same at all, really, for any number of reasons, and to delete this would, again, mess up the entire Lekman discography.  We have a workable standard on albums and EPs, let's keep it that way. --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:55, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - no evidence of meeting WP:MUSIC. BTW its been moved to US Tour EP 2005 (Jens Lekman). BlueValour 23:41, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
