The result was delete. Good delete rationale coupled with lack of reliable sources. Interview tapes are common, though, as Michig indicates, a mention of this promotional aid in the Gorillaz (album) article would be appropriate if it can be reliably sourced.

Fails WP:MUSIC by a mile despite the last Afd deciding otherwise. It was a promo released to the press, nothing notable about that, whoever the artiste is. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 21:34, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - There is no coverage about this promotional CD in reliable sources. From the last AFD, there was a a claim to keep for its rarity but rarity is not an inclusion criterion and the claim that it "will almost certainly be a collector's item" is speculative, and not supported with any sources. -- Whpq (talk) 14:27, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete promo-only releases aren't notable even if the band itself is. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 06:54, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to the album article if it can be sourced properly.--Michig (talk) 07:31, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
