[edit] Requested move

This version of the article appears to have a legitimate source and, in general, seems to be more acceptable than the version deleted in last February. Thus, I propose that this article should be moved to Speak My Mind, which is currently a protected redirect to the article of Beyoncé Knowles. After all, the disambiguation in this article's title is redundant, and has most likely been introduced in order to by-pass the AfD decision. Waltham, The Duke of 16:25, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

I agree. It should be moved to agree with the information presented. Ratizi1 (talk) 00:18, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

I've asked User:Extraordinary Machine to unprotect the page since he was the admin who protected it. --BritandBeyonce (talk) 09:29, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

I've added a note at that talk page, and if there's no reply within a day or so, I'll unprotect the redirect and complete the page move. -GTBacchus^(talk) 05:19, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

And it appears he moved the page. I have therefore removed the move template, archived the old talk page, and moved this talk page here. -GTBacchus^(talk) 22:42, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] notability

This article has had the following tag added to it.

This article may not meet the general notability guideline or one of the following specific guidelines for inclusion on Wikipedia: Biographies, Books, Companies, Fiction, Music, Neologisms, Numbers, Web content, or several proposals for new guidelines. If you are familiar with the subject matter, please expand or rewrite the article to establish its notability. The best way to address this concern is to reference published, third-party sources about the subject. If notability cannot be established, the article is more likely to be considered for redirection, merge or ultimately deletion, per Wikipedia:Guide to deletion. This article has been tagged since January 2008.

Please discuss the issue presented by the tag here. Ratizi1 (talk) 02:29, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

This was redirected to Beyoncé Knowles per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Speak My Mind. The only difference between this version and the one before the redirect is that it has a source for the track list. There's not much that can be said about this mixtape. With notable albums, you have things like reviews, sales, and charts, but this can't expand from a track list. Is this an officially released mixtape? Spellcast (talk) 08:45, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

If it wasn't official would it have a billboard page? I'm not certain on this either but I'm sure Billboard doesn't put just any mixtape on it's website. Ratizi1 (talk) 03:18, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

I can honestly say that I had not thought about notability (the lack of sources was the main issue at the deletion discussion). Deleting the article on these grounds would, at least, solve the dilemma. Personally, I don't care that much (I hate R&B), but I want to see this awkward situation resolved. If you people do agree to try to have it deleted, I am not very certain that it is liable for speedy deletion; perhaps one could try Proposed Deletion first.

Billboard copy all their discography info from All Music Guide. All this page will ever be is a track list. Notable bootlegs would at least have a few reviews and something more than just tracks. Spellcast (talk) 21:25, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
