Xero Sample Tape

 * – ( View AfD View log )

no idea what a "sample tape" is, but if it's along the lines of a demo, then I don't think it is notable enough for its own article. It doesn't appear to belong in Linkin Park's discography either (early version of the band). Fails WP:NMUSIC, WP:ALBUM. - eo (talk) 13:15, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
 * If a demo song is not notable enough to have its own article, the best thing I would do is merge the information to Linkin Park. –BuickCenturyDriver 13:25, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep (for now) – The article was created yesterday and was tagged for deletion within 30 minutes. Give it a chance. Linkin Park is notable, and I think their early music is too. The author, Bnhafwents97, still seems to be updating the article and has not even been notified of this nomination. —danhash (talk) 20:05, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NALBUMS, section "Unreleased material".&mdash;Kww(talk) 20:37, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom; doesn't appear to meet WP:NALBUMS or WP:GNG as I can find no significant coverage in reliable sources for this subject.  Gongshow  Talk 10:02, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. An article like this could be easy saved and even be a decent article like RATM demo. There are several books about LP (here and here) that probably dedicate some text to this demo. Is just a matter of finding some preview online of the first chapter or so. I don't have the time to search right now, but finding RS about the demo of a notable band is just a matter of time.--Neo139 (talk) 16:05, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:NALBUMS "Unreleased material" clause, only one reference (to annother Wiki). Remember to unlink in  to quash a bunch of redlinks that will show up because of the deletion. Hasteur (talk) 16:36, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
