Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Music to Raise the Dead (2nd nomination)
Music to Raise the Dead'' to Resurrection Band. Starting with the ''Music to Raise the Dead'' cassette and looking at the article's current pair of references: (1) I'm not familiar with Firestream; what makes it a reliable source, and where is the review? I'm getting a 404 page. (2) I'm not finding any mention for this recording in the http://books.google.com/books?ei=QAOqTvrsA839sQKeo6njDg&ct=result&id=xwI5AQAAIAAJ&dq=Encyclopedia+of+Contemporary+Christian+Music&q=%22music+to+raise+the+dead%22#search_anchor Powell book, at least not using Google Books. As for other sources, the best I could find are passing mentions http://books.google.com/books?id=VzFZZ4yi3DMC&pg=PA233&dq=%22music+to+raise+the+dead%22+%22resurrection+band%22&hl=en&ei=yQCqTqG8O8uLsALP6ojmDg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CDAQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=%22music%20to%20raise%20the%20dead%22%20%22resurrection%20band%22&f=false here and http://books.google.com/books?id=CJhaBvbmuOQC&pg=PT67&dq=%22music+to+raise+the+dead%22+%22resurrection+band%22&hl=en&ei=yQCqTqG8O8uLsALP6ojmDg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CDUQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=%22music%20to%20raise%20the%20dead%22%20%22resurrection%20band%22&f=false here. ''All Your Life'' has similar issues with the current references in its article. It appears that these recordings, while performed by an indisputably significant band, were promotional limited-edition releases and are not really part of the band's discography (meaning that http://www.allmusic.com/album/r229955/review sources http://books.google.com/books?ei=VQiqTtOYFKj-iQKcj8GACw&ct=result&id=wLhow3uadPAC&dq=%22awaiting+your+reply%22+debut+band&q=%22awaiting+your+reply%22+debut#search_anchor identify ''Awaiting Your Reply'' as the band's debut album). If my understanding of these earlier recordings is correct, then I would sort of liken them to, as an example, ''Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Manic_Hedgehog|Manic Hedgehog'', a pre-Radiohead demo recording. Demos and promotional/limited-edition releases are not the same thing, but both of these cases involve recordings done prior to the bands' proper debuts, and neither looks to have significant coverage in |reliable sources, thus not meeting  or . I prefer to redirect (rather than delete) ''Music to Raise the Dead'' for two reasons: (1) http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22music+to+raise+the+dead%22+slogan&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=8289l8773l1l8915l6l4l0l0l0l0l154l390l0.3l3l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&biw=1229&bih=493&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=nw#q=%22music+to+raise+the+dead%22+slogan&hl=en&tbm=nws&source=lnt&tbs=ar:1&sa=X&ei=phGqTpfTI6qfiQLv0OShCw&ved=0CA4QpwUoBQ&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=f33972b6a6e12c80&biw=1229&bih=493 multiple http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1993-12-12/lifestyle/9312080641_1_fort-lauderdale-church-big-house-jesus-movement sources mention it as the band's slogan, and (2) it's a reasonable search term. Regarding ''All Your Life'', I would '''delete''' it and move All Your Life (song) in its place, perhaps with a hatnote directing readers to the Resurrection Band article. Of course, if it can be demonstrated that significant coverage exists in reliable sources for these albums, I'll happily change my !vote to keep
