The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.
"A musician or band's demo tape." Seems redundant to the general sense of a magnetic tape medium. Equinox ◑ 21:36, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
- So it should be deleted, rather than verified? Siuenti (talk) 16:44, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
- Well, if we can find cites that say, "I asked for an audiotape, so why'd you bring me this tape of music from a concert", they'd suffice to prove this is a separate sense. (I doubt that's gonna happen, but what do I know.)—msh210℠ (talk) 19:25, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
- I wonder if tape is used generically to refer to demos released on mediums other than magnetic tape (e.g., home-burnt CDRs). Much as we continue to speak of "rewinding" DVDs and Blu-rays despite the fact that the days of VHS are long past. -Cloudcuckoolander (talk) 21:30, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
