Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Roxx Regime Demos
The article nowhere claims that the ''album'' is a demo, just that the songs on it were demos.  In fact, it only explicitly states that ''one'' of the songs was a demo: "except for the track "Honestly" which is taken from a later demo".  Indeed, it states that the album "is an album by Stryper consisting of songs originally '''released''' under the band's previous name" my emphasis.  If the songs were released, then they were no longer demos, QED.  However, http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:3bfoxzu5ldje this does indeed state that the album "is comprised of -- you guessed it! -- demos".  But that's a moot point because ''the album was released'' by Fifty-Three Five Records in 2007 (catalogue number 0725) according to that same source.  Should  Anthology 3 be deleted because that album consists of "demos" and previously unreleased out-takes?  There can be no doubt that this present article needs a lot of work but I do have a strong feeling that this album is truly notable going by the sources I have so far read, as snipets like http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=WE&s_site=kansas&p_multi=WE&p_theme=realcities&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=119BE5C571443A78&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM this seem to suggest.  It is hard to source this album beyond passing mentions, however, (and the webmasters at the Rolling Stone site seem to have deleted or moved their reviews pages).  So, ignoring the nom's rationale and looking at  and, especially,  instead, is this album discussed in reliable independent sources beyond passing mentions?  I have no idea...  The Verifiability ''policy'' is the key here, IMO, rather than 's ''advice'' (and note the disclaimer at the head of that document: "Please note that the failure to meet any of these criteria does not mean an article must be deleted; conversely, meeting any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept. These are merely rules of thumb
