These are all non-notable mixtapes with no in-depth sources. Most of the PRODs were removed without explanation. They have no potential to expand, and fails WP:MUSIC#Albums. Spellcast 11:11, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete all per nom. Those by notable artists warrant a brief mention on the artists' pages if they played an important part in their careers, but none of these warrant their own articles. A1octopus 16:54, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep notable, first mixtape he made that got him discovered. Article has cover art and link to listen to mixtape.Deananoby2 17:44, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

But there needs to be in-depth reliable sources (other than a track list) to verify it's notable. It'll never expand to have reviews, background info, sales, chart positions etc. At most, it should be mentioned in the main page. Spellcast 18:56, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

So is deleting the article gonna making wikipedia any better? I don't think its making it any worse. Why don't you go around and find all mixtape articles and delete them?Deananoby2 20:03, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Actually, that's what I've been doing. A month ago, there must've been nearly 200 articles on mixtapes in Category:Mixtape albums. Now there's only 64. A week from now, that number should drop to around 30 or 40 once these AfDs end. I'm not a mixtape hater, I just don't think most of them are notable for articles.
