Inside the Head of John Peel[edit]

Fails WP:MUSIC, not notable without substantial coverage in reliable, third-party sources. Mdsummermsw (talk) 14:17, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This is an official recording by the band for John Peel. While the release itself is a bootleg the band includes it on their official discography. Many Peel Sessions albums do not recieve substantial 3rd party coverage but are still on WP because the band is notable and the Peel Sessions are notable.

- Comment - Yes, other stuff exists. However, many other Peel Sessions are actually on WP because they were officially released. This one was not. Recordings that never see the light of day are not notable without coverage and bootlegs aren't notable without coverage. Without the bootleg, it isn't notable. As a bootleg, it isn't notable. Cobbling two non-notable things together, without coverage gives us another non-notable thing. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 15:40, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Man or Astroman?. Doesn't meet WP:MUSIC criteria for a standalone article. I didn't realize that they had so many albums, they're probably due for a discography list. Xymmax ^{So let it be written} _{So let it be done} 15:20, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Query - can anyone clarify what "This is a bootleg release but it is not a bootleg recording of Man or Astro-man?" actually means? Is it a bootleg or isn't it..........? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 23:03, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The recording is not a bootleg recording. It is a professional recording done with the consent of Man or Astro-man. The recording was then taken and released without the band's permission. So the actual release is a bootleg. BeastmasterGeneral 00:55, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
