Demos are assumed non-notable per WP:MUSIC, and Google shows nothing substantial. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:50, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge or keep, but do not delete. This album turned into what became known as Pentagram. Your Google links show that too. Undead Warrior (talk) 17:47, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - non-notable demo, no reliable sources in article (Metal-Archives isn't reliable), very little on Google, nothing on Allmusic or Amazon. MrMoustacheMM (talk) 19:38, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Pentagram. This one's tricky because it is intimately connected with that later album, as noted by Undead Warrior above. But MrMoustache is also correct about shortage of sources. In this case the merge to the album article can be done in a way that describes the historical influence of one release on the other. --DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 18:42, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or at the very least Merge to Pentagram. It is referenced at http://www.gorgoroth.info/discography/ under "Other releases". Here is a review of the demo: http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/review.php?review_id=717 and here is a review of a bootleg CD of the demo (since it was originally only released as a cassette): http://www.voenger.de/review.php?id=160 Bulgakoff (talk) 10:51, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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

Weak Merge or Delete (I'm changing my vote and deleting the original vote, as I was unaware I shouldn't re-vote in a relist): two of the sources Bulgakoff suggested could be WP:RS, I don't know enough about either to say, but I'm willing to accept them (the Gorgoroth page isn't a secondary source, and so wouldn't qualify). But I see very little that is notable about this demo, and WP:MUSIC suggests that demos are generally non-notable. For example, Nirvana (band), a very successful and well-known band, has no pages for their demos, which (despite personal opinion on their music) would be far more notable than Gorgoroth's demos. At best, this deserves maybe a mention in the Pentagram (Gorgoroth album) article (along the lines of "two songs, "Song A" and "Song B", were released on the Promo '94 demo cassette prior to this album", and maybe a picture of the demo off to the side of the sentence). It also could be merged with Gorgoroth, in the same way Carcass' demos are merged with that page. But I would support a full delete and no mention on either page, as well.

Keep or at the very least Merge it with the Pentagram article. In addition to the two previous reviews I posted, here's a link to another one (which reviews both this demo and the previous 1993 demo, and which discusses the progress made from the 1993 demo to this one which ultimately led to the sound and style of the tracks found on the 1994 full-length album Pentagram): metal-observer.com/articles.php?lid=1&sid=6&id=15385 Bulgakoff (talk) 12:48, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
