The result was   Delete per consensus. Not doing a redirect at this time, as I agree this is a highly unlikely string of characters to put into search. Keeper  |   76   |   Disclaimer  21:35, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

We Are Hip Hop, Me, You, Everybody

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

Not notable per WP:MUSIC which clearly states: "Demos, mixtapes, bootlegs, promo-only, and unreleased albums are in general not notable; however, they may be notable if they have significant independent coverage in reliable sources." (emphasis mine) This 4 disc set is a bootleg, but no sources are offered to show any independent coverage whatsoever and I was unable to locate any myself. There are plenty of Ghits but nothing that looks like it could meet WP:RS or show sufficient coverage to meet WP:MUSIC guidelines; there was nothing on Gnews. WP:MUSIC is clear that a bootleg, even by a major artist, is not notable without significant independent coverage and there is just no evidence of that here.

 * Delete per OlenWhitaker's rationale. Erechtheus (talk) 00:14, 3 May 2008 (UTC) On second thought, this is notorious enough that the title is a useful search term. I will suggest a redirect to Mos Def, possibly protected if it appears that protection would be appropriate. Erechtheus (talk) 00:16, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't consider it a particularly likely search term if only because of the myriad ways it could be punctuated (as demonstrated in the Google search.) Still, a slightly useful redirect may well be better than no redirect at all.  I still favour deletion, but redirection would also make sense; I could go along with that as well.

 * Delete I've watched this article for the last few months and I could find no reliable sources too. This is already mentioned in Mos Def discography and I don't think a redirect would be needed as I doubt someone would type this in the search box. Spellcast (talk) 18:59, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable mixtapes don't even merit redirects. No sources indicating anything special about it. B.Wind (talk) 05:44, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: per above, without prejudice to a redirect.   RGTraynor  15:36, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
