Another non-notable bootleg, fails WP:MUSIC. Karppinen (talk) 14:01, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

  • Keep wp:album I believe if you have this many famous musicians on an album, which features that many hit songs, then it counts as notable. Dream Focus 17:16, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

::I searched www.billboard.com for one song, and this is what I found.

:::Position 26 Peak 10 Weeks 4

:::Tupac Featuring The Notorious B.I.G.

:::Runnin (Dying To Live)

Got into the top 10 on the Billboard. The rest I believe were hit singles also. Dream Focus 17:21, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

  • Comment But this album seems to be a bootleg. According to WP:MUSIC - "Demos, mixtapes, bootlegs, promo-only, and unreleased albums are in general not notable; however, they may be notable if they have significant independent coverage in reliable sources." This album has not any kind of significant coverage. Karppinen (talk) 17:25, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete - having loads of hit songs on an album means nothing if it is a bootleg thrown together illegally and sold "under the counter". I could compile a CD with 20 or 30 million-selling singles on it, burn a few hundred copies and sell them at a car boot sale, but that wouldn't make it a notable album -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 22:06, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

::How can it be bootleg? If it charts on the billboard, and is sold as an album, then its legal. I don't understand where the bootleg thing is coming from. Dream Focus 22:16, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

:::This album has never charted on any chart in Billboard (2Pac's hit albums are [http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/retrieve_chart_history.do?model.chartFormatGroupName=Albums&model.vnuArtistId=37157&model.vnuAlbumId=801449 here]). It was also produced by a company that does not own the rights to the recordings on it, therefore it is a bootleg and not legal -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 22:18, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

::Amazon.com has it listed, but says its an import. And the guy died years ago, so its odd he'd be releasing anything. Alright then. If it is a bootleg, then it violates copyright law, and should be deleted. Dream Focus 22:24, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

:::2Pac's released far more material since he died than he ever did during his lifetime :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 22:26, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

  • Delete, an unremarkable bootleg. Some bootlegs are notable enough to have articles, but as this one seems to have minimal third-party coverage, it's not one of them. Lankiveil (speak to me) 13:30, 28 March 2009 (UTC).

*Delete, non notable bootleg. Deletion Mutation 15:38, 28 March 2009 (UTC) N.B. !vote of sockpuppet of blocked user struck through. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 23:31, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
