The prod was contested in July 2008. I found zero sources for this. This is a non-notable
bootleg album.

Speedy keep. Sorry, the link was poorly formatted (as a normal external link, not using the wayback template) under an External links section. There is now a properly-formatted link showing that this was an official Propagandhi release.

Per
WP:NALBUMS: "In general, if the musician or ensemble that recorded an album is considered notable, then officially released albums may have sufficient notability to have individual articles on Wikipedia". This was an official live album released by an actual (indie and now defunct as far as I know) record label. I would agree to the article's deletion if the album had never appeared on the band's discography, but that's not the case here.

"All articles on albums, singles or songs must meet the basic criteria at the notability guidelines, with significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."

And there's the problem. I agree that we do need reliable sources, but they're now mostly gone. The
Internet Archive doesn't have archives of
Applecore Records' releases page on Geocities or any of their
site on TCHC.org. The two independent sources (
here and
here) that do reference the album aren't notable. I'm pretty sure I read about the album in
Maximumrocknroll or
HeartattaCk (possibly
Punk Planet, but I doubt it) but those issues are long since recycled and there's no web source available. All I can say is that the band listed this album on their official releases, I've got the album, and I've seen the album for sale in record stores and via distro. I realize that everything but the discography listing utterly fails
WP:RS, which is a good thing. But considering all that, I still feel the article should stay.

Delete per Joe Chill. Fails to demonstrate
notability.

Delete. Looked long and hard for sources but came up dry. TheWeakWilled 01:05, 20 August 2009 (UTC)reply
