Believe that this fails WP:NALBUM - album seems to have been planned but never released Gbawden (talk) 11:20, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep – Meets WP:GNG. Source examples include: The Grateful Dead FAQ (at least 4 pages, likely more), Rolling Stone, Relix magazine, The Daily Courier (around 5 paragraphs), Observer-Reporter (1 short paragraph). Another option is to merge to Grateful Dead § Aftermath (1995 to the present), which presently does not mention this aspect of the band. North America1000 18:09, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - being released is not a criteria for meeting the WP:GNG. Sources like Rolling Stone cover it in pretty good detail. The article needs a complete rewrite (and probably a rename - if no other reason, because "album" shouldn't be capitalized) but the idea itself has enough coverage to meet the GNG.

 * Keep – The article meets the general notability guideline, as it "has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." WP:NALBUMS, in talking about "unreleased material", doesn't seem to distinguish between albums that are planned for future release and those, like this one, that are not.  But it says, "Unreleased material (including demos, mixtapes, bootlegs, promo-only recordings) is only notable if it has significant independent coverage in reliable sources."  That is the case here. — Mudwater (Talk) 01:27, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
