[edit] Psycho (unreleased Eminem album)

This isn't an "unreleased album" but a collection of songs that Eminem did in 1999-2000. Someone took these songs and put them together and released them as a bootleg "Psycho". But this is not an "unreleased album" in the sense that Eminem recorded this album but later it was shelved. It's a bootleg compilation and not even a very notable one at that. There are plenty of CDs like this featuring Eminem that are floating around out there. I've even made a couple myself. MrBlondNYC 00:54, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as there's no assertion of notability for this specific bootleg, even though it's bootlegged from the performances of a notable performer. BigHaz 01:35, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. A bootleg album would need a lot of sources to establish its notability. --Metropolitan90 17:34, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Not sure that there's any crystal balling going on - the album does physically exist. BigHaz 23:28, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete I support keeping bootlegs but only when they have official support of the artist such as unreleased tracks etc. This seems to fail that criteria. --zero faults ^{|sockpuppets|} 12:47, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Comment I think even non-official bootlegs can be added/kept if they are very notable. For example one Eminem bootleg was so popular it was reviewed by noted critic Robert Christgau. Or if its an album that an artist doesn't want released but it leaked out. I can't think of any example off the top but it has happened. But this one is definitely not a notable one.MrBlondNYC 13:33, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - Maybe the album not but the songs verifyably exist and this album tracklist is the most common one over the internet (as I've just recently checked). Lajbi ^{Holla @ me}Who's the boss? 11:04, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
