[edit] Da Drought 3

Da Drought 3 (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Delete a mixtape, a bunch of this artist's mixtapes were deleted before after this and this discussions. I am also nominating:

There is no asserted notability for any of these albums. Carlossuarez46 18:07, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete all See also this, this, this, this, and this. Unlike an album, these can never expand to include background, production, themes, sales, certifications, a wide range of reviews etc. All they can ever be is a track list. Spellcast 19:17, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete all Spellcast said it all - can't be expanded. MarkBul 20:43, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
  • I would at least keep Dedication 2 and consider keeping Da Drought 3. Dedication 2 mentions/contains links to several professional reviews in the article, so I can't see why it couldn't be expanded using them as sources. Da Drought 3 is on shakier ground, but it was still reviewed by Pitchfork (link in the article), by Village Voice blogger Tom Breihan,[1] and by Stylus Magazine,[2] nominated for an award by Ozone magazine,[3] and mentioned in an MTV interview.[4] There's probably more information about these mixtapes in XXL, The Source, etc., but all I know how to do is research by google.--P4k 00:05, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Also "Da Drought 3" was reviewed by the Boston Globe (July 10 2007, page SID8) and "Dedication 2" is mentioned in All Music Guide's profile of Lil Wayne. Keep for both of these.P4k 21:07, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
