[edit] Odds & Ends

Non-noatble demo CD. Does not meet WP:MUSIC. -Nv8200p talk 19:04, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

• I cannot see any notability guidelines for albums or demo CDs at WP:MUSIC or any pages linked from there, just the artists/groups (and nobody is arguing that Dido is not notable). Having said that I think that only in exceptional cases should a demo CD have an article, so Merge the information here into the Dido article and mention on the articles for the albums mentioned here about the tracks from this CD.

• Keep, seems worth an article in her discography. --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:09, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete My presumption is that demo records are a necessity for bands, but are amateur recordings addressed only to a professional audience, and not destined for public release. Every band will have made demo records, and all notable bands will by reverse logic have had one at the start of their career which resulted in them being signed by a record label. The inclusion of demo records would be indiscriminate collection of information per WP:NOT. Ohconfucius 04:50, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - Ohconfucius puts things very well and I support his reasoning. The editors of Dido (singer) can add a reference to this CD to her article if they wish. BlueValour 20:40, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - it's a step up from a regular demo as many of the songs from the demo moved over in various forms of her regular releases. Furthermore, other artists' discography pages list demos or lackluster debut releases, such as Ayumi Hamasaki's NOTHING FROM NOTHING and Utada Hikaru's Precious, both of which were demo releases that failed to capture an audience. - mixvio 17:54, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete It's also a CD-R, for crying out loud. Btw, the previous commenter's opinion should be ignored for being blatantly false (Click on the links to see that those are regularly released albums, both by major labels, not stuff record labels get and routinely toss out.) ~ trialsanderrors 21:47, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
