In My Ghetto[edit]

Article seems to be about a bootleg album by Akon. Fails WP:MUSIC. Admc2006 (talk) 01:50, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I know it is a bootleg, but so was Power of the Dollar by 50 Cent. And that album has its own article. Both In My Ghetto & Power of the Dollar were bootlegs, but that means they were still released digitally. Rappingwonders (talk) 01:53, 27 January 2008 (UTC) Per the fact that these types of albums aren't notable, I change my vote to delete. Rappingwonders (talk) 02:28, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. From WP:MUSIC: Demos, mixtapes, bootlegs and promo-only records are in general not notable. Also, I disagree with Rappingwonders per WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. -- ShinmaWa^(talk) 02:05, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, bootlegs are generally not notable. This one seems to not have any reliable sources. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 02:09, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. If bootlegs, mixtapes and demo tapes aren't notable, the following articles should also be nominated for deletion:
Dedication 2
Da Drought 3
The Drought Is Over Pt. 4
Soul Intent (album)
Fuckin’ Backstabber/Soul Intent
Power of the Dollar

And I'm sure that there are A LOT more if bootlegs, mixtapes and demo tapes are not notable as you say. Rappingwonders (talk) 02:15, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dedication 2 shows notability because it has what seems to be scads of sources. The others I'm not so sure of. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 02:21, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Feel free to nominate those for deletion too. Thanks for the offer! :) -- ShinmaWa^(talk) 02:22, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 02:26, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If all of these albums/mixtapes/bootlegs/etc. are included in this AFD, then Keep all and break the AFD up again. Bootlegs and mixtapes are not completely and inherently non-notable, and frankly, that only hip-hop albums are included here is quite the bias...why isn't Prince's Black Album included as well?. Power of the Dollar is quite notable. hateless 08:00, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:MUSIC. —Signed by KoЯnfan71^{My Talk}_{Sign Here!} 03:45, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I favor keeping bootlegs if they have potential to expand from a mere track list, but this has no sources, charts, reviews or anything to develop into a more extensive article. Spellcast (talk) 12:39, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless reliable sources are provided. Terraxos (talk) 02:08, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
