The Yellow Tape
It is a very small article without much information. The tape is out-of-print and near-impossible to find in modern times. All information has been moved to Barenaked Ladies demo tapes. ChineseLamps (talk) 21:02, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Just last month this article was nominated for AfD, discussed, notability established, and withdrawn. Please see the discussion. --Juventas (talk) 03:55, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Except this time there is actually more reason for it to be deleted. ChineseLamps (talk) 04:01, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- More reason? The article didn't get smaller. It's has been out-of-print for several years. I just don't see what changed since last month. --Juventas (talk) 04:17, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- ChineseLamps is referring the "All information has been moved to Barenaked Ladies demo tapes" part. The information is now moved to a page that consolidates all of the BNL's demo tapes into one article, so it no longer needs its own. - Bkid Talk/Contribs 07:14, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - Normally, indie tapes don't get much notice. However, this is the cassette that launched the career of the Barenaked Ladies. As noted in the article, it is the first indie tape to achieve platinum status in sales. Coverage about the yellow tape cassette is available to establish notability. This include significant coverage about the tape. This book notes its importance to independent music in Canada. From George Strobolopolous. -- Whpq (talk) 14:09, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I've just noticed that the Barenaked Ladies demo tapes article is a cut and paste move. This is not acceptable as the CC-BY-SA licensing requires that we maintain the attribution for the contribution. I'm going to ask an admin with some more knowledge in this area to provide some guidance. -- Whpq (talk) 14:17, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- How exactly would I attribute the past edits? The page for Buck Naked was erased, so I'm not sure if you could archive the past information. Also, I wrote all the information for Barenaked Recess and Variety Recordings myself. Sorry if it turns out I screwed up, but I'm new to not being a dick on Wikipedia.

- I'm not accusing you of being a dick. The maze of policies can be overwhelming for a new editor. Even as an experienced editor, I've asked for some guidance as noted in my note above. -- Whpq (talk) 15:24, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- So sorry if you thought I was saying YOU were calling me a dick. I was referencing the fact that I was once a vandal. But now I've decided to stop complaining about Wikipedia, and simply attempt to make it better. ChineseLamps (talk) 17:20, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
