[edit] Unreleased Victoria Beckham Album
Demo album, unreleased and abandoned. NN per WP:MUSIC#Albums "Demos, mixtapes, bootlegs and promo-only records are in general not notable." Bullzeye (Ring for Service) 07:22, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
I feel its notable because of whos career it is. Beckham only officially released one CD and whether or not she is doing music is a big part of her career which is wikipedia worthy. This particular unreleased album has been the source of much speculation and news by the media and fans around her. I pretty much spelled it out in the article. Its not merely a bootleg or demo (there is mixes of booth in there) but its actually about 2 and a half cancelled albums that have leaked or been involved in her career. She even released 2 singles from these cancelled albums and released another 4 songs from them. So there is some notability there. There's a lot of disinformation floating out on the net about it; I think it would help if there was a place that was legit and had the legit history of it. Im not sure why it wouldnt be worthy by that; as its an intergral part of her career. However I guess thats an editors decision to make. --Thegingerone 07:58, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

- Delete. The only demos/unrelease albums I could see being notable would be from Elvis, the Beetles, Frank Sinatra, or other Major Music stars. Unfortunately, if a regular singer has an Unrelease, Unpublished, forgotten albums, I don't see how those are notable (regardless if she was in the Spice Girls prior to her solo career). --Brian(view my history)/(How am I doing?) 20:14, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Notability of artist is not automatically transferable their work. In the case of unreleased albums and bootlegs I hold that only if the artist is famous and revered on a par with (for example) The Beatles, and the unpublished album in question has large scale (underground) distribution, following, and - most importantly - independent reviews - then it is simply not notable.
