• Keep Seems notable to me. At the very least, merge to the main article. Side note - be aware that User:Dubrosa has removed the AfD notice from the page. I have restored it, but I suspect from the attitude shown in the edit summary at the time of removal that it will be removed again. CiaranG 00:35, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Further comment in light of the Merge recommendations below - if this were merged into TISM, the next logical step would seem (to me at least) to consider splitting it to its own article per WP:SUMMARY. Doh! CiaranG 10:19, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

That's right; there's no reason to merge this and in addition there's no place to merge it. — coelacan talk — 16:38, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete or Merge A demo tape doesn't really need its own article. TJ Spyke 01:21, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. This is no different from having an article on a television show pilot episode. For that matter it is no different from any other article on any TISM album. There's no reason to be prejudicial toward work that was created before the band was signed. — coelacan talk — 04:06, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
• Merge - a demo tape is not notable ina nd of itself. A pilot episode is a bad comparison as it is actually aired as opposed to a demo tape which is not mass duplicated and sold. -- Whpq 05:16, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

  Pilot episodes are not usually aired. Generally they are recreated from the script, using the newly available studio funding. The new creation may air as the first episode or as another episode in the first season, or as a subplot within an episode, or they may never air at all. See Television pilot#Bare-bones pilot and Television pilot#Airing the pilot. A demo tape is like a bare-bones pilot. No reason not to have an article about it. — coelacan talk — 06:30, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
