[edit] Power of the Dollar

Power of the Dollar (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Doesn't seem to be a notable bootleg album. Only sources are trivial in nature. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 02:26, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete – Have to agree. An album that has never been release since it was originally cut in 2000. It is worth no more than the mention it has already received in Wikipedia as shown here [1]. Shoessss |  Chat  02:35, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment - how does one establish what a "notable bootleg" album is? I would have thought any album by a notable musician would be inherently notable, but perhaps that is not the case. Gatoclass (talk) 08:12, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. The idea that an unreleased album with three released singles (per MTV) is not notable because it wasn't released (detail that is at best a technicality) is somewhat baffling, especially when they form the backstory to one of the decade's best-selling artists. Reviews of the actual album, including track listings, do exist from reliable sources, like this one. hateless 08:21, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep I'm tend to have pretty rigorous standards when it comes to bootlegs/mixtapes. I've had around 200 mixtapes deleted in Category:Mixtape albums through PRODs and AfDs, but this is the case of a notable bootleg. Review sites are certainly not trivial in nature and unlike this album, most bootlegs can't expand from a track list. This can definitely expand into a more comprehensive article.

  • Keep - not a bootleg or mixtape by any stretch; numerous non-trivial mentions in dead tree sources such as ISBNs 0879307595, 1841956155, 0743201698, 1841958603 and 097677352X. east.718 at 23:04, January 27, 2008
  • Keep. Notable album by a notable musician, even if it is a bootleg. Terraxos (talk) 02:24, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep. Album had several singles released that received attention from MTV and the radio before it was shelved, partly due to the artist's highly publicized shooting. In addition, a promotional EP containing 5 songs from the album WAS commercially released. If this isn't a "notable bootleg album", nothing is.

  • Strong Keep "Doesn't seem to be a notable bootleg album" is a nonargument and the AMG review (for instance) is a nontrivial source.P4k (talk) 22:08, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
