Chi Town Productions Presents: The Lost Tapes (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

Non-notable mixtapes that have no non-trivial coverage from reliable, third party sources. This fails WP:N because there is no "significant coverage" from sources that "address the subject directly in detail". Sources simply having a track listing is far from significant. Unlike notable album articles, these can never have charts, sales, awards, themes, or critical reviews. Spellcast 20:22, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since there's "too many" to consider at once, I'll PROD each one. I withdraw this nomination. I have no doubt these are not notable though. Spellcast 09:16, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I assure you that none of these tapes are the subject of non-trivial coverage. At the risk of over-generalising, I examined each tape in Kanye West discography#Mixtapes for notability. I left out I'm Good & Clinton Sparks & Kanye West: Touch the Sky because they are recognised by mainstream publications and even have critical reviews[1][2]. But the ones above can never expand from their current state. Unlike notable albums, you have background info, production, sales, impact, and reviews from music critics. These have none.

I'm sorry, but I don't know you from a block of wood, and I'm not going to rely on your ability to research a subject when I don't know you. I do, however, know that even editors I am familiar with can miss sources and coverage on a subject, I know I have had trouble myself at times. Therefore, I suggest closing and trying smaller bundles. Or maybe try PROD and then AFD on the remaining articles.. FrozenPurpleCube 21:06, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If necessary, I'll nominate each individually (or perhaps 5 at a time). But I have no doubt these won't survive on a case by case basis. See also a mass AfD of Snoop Dogg related tapes at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Welcome to tha chuuch mixtape vol.1. Spellcast 21:25, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'd just go with PROD myself, then see what was contested. Might not be anything at the end. And as for the discussion at the time, I don't know that it was wrong, however, I'm concerned about the numbers. There could be something that slips past everyone.
