Demos are assumed non-notable per WP:MUSIC. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:27, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:MUSIC presumption against demos. I can find significant coverage for this demo, but not in reliable independent sources. - DustFormsWords (talk) 03:59, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Although I must admit I am not entirely aware of Wikipedia's criteria for reliable sources on this matter. This demo was commercially released and was also rereleased as an EP with extra material. Dark Prime (talk) 22:35, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The policy on reliable sources can be found at WP:RS, and we're using that here in the context of the general notability guidelines at WP:N, which call for "significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject". Reliable sources are generally professional publications with editorial oversight and a reputation for accuracy. So not blogs, directory listings, forums, sites that accept user-submitted content, MySpace pages, Twitter accounts, Facebook pages, or (most) fansites. Also note the "independent" part, so the band's official site, the record label's site, and press releases put out by the band or label are also generally insufficient. - DustFormsWords (talk) 22:43, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It has indeed been released commercially. I have added references to Allmusic's review and mention of the demo. Bulgakoff (talk) 07:24, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep - thanks to the info uncovered by the folks above. Since the demo was released and re-released as an actual album product, the article could probably be improved by removing "demo" as the regular description of the album, and maybe just stating somewhere that it started its existence as a demo recording. I'll make some alterations to the article accordingly. DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 19:45, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
