Cruel Summer (GOOD Music album)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Unreleased album that does not meet WP:NALBUMS for unreleased material, additionally the released singles do not meet WP:NALBUMS for singles. Note particularly that NALBUMS/Unreleased material requires "significant independent coverage in reliable sources" and is only applied in "a very small number of exceptionally high-profile projects". This project does not meet that standard. Tgeairn (talk) 02:41, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This is a great primer for the album as further details emerge. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.88.118.109 (talk) 04:20, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I can't believe someone would try to delete this. First of all, the album's name and release date was only annouunced on June 21. The album won't be released until August, so the promotional push hasn't started in full yet. In fact, only one song has been released yet, which was two days ago. And finally, this is an collaboration album that is being created by Kanye West, one of the biggest musical artists in the world. Anything he does, especially musical albums, is high-profile. Your arguments fall flat. --Twlighter (talk) 06:31, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- So, you're telling us, nothing at all is yet reliably known about this album apart from its name, a future release date, a song (which has its own article), and a publishing program (which has its own article)? Uncle G (talk) 17:46, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for all the reasons listed above. Seriously, I don't know what you were thinking, flagging this for deletion. Contractor815 (talk) 14:33, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I understand the above "Keep" recommendations, but they do not address the issue of WP:NALBUMS. The two sources in the article (as well as web and news searches) do not meet the standard of "significant independent coverage in reliable sources" and "exceptionally high-profile project" required for unreleased material. In fact, it appears that available sources disagree as to release date, artist lineup, and track listing. Also, notability is not inherited; so Kanye West's notability does NOT extend to any/every project he or his company is involved with. --Tgeairn (talk) 16:17, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete as slightly WP:TOOSOON. Although it isn't policy, WP:HAMMERTIME expains it pretty clearly. Roodog2k (talk) 19:15, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"If the name and track order of a future album are not yet known, the album is very likely to have its page deleted from Wikipedia." It appears to have a name. And it is also being released a month from now. Statυs (talk) 18:54, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

QED If the name AND track order of an album are not known... Hence, delete. Roodog2k (talk) 14:45, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete also per WP:TOOSOON, not clear what this album is about, not enough reviews about it. I actually got to this article by following a Wikipedia link making it the next album of Jay-Z but apparently not since he's not mentioned anywhere in the article. Need more info about his album before creating an article about it. Laurent (talk) 16:39, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep We got a confirmed release date, title and 2 singles. Statυs (talk) 18:54, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NALBUMS and WP:TOOSOON. Having a release date, a title and 2 singles (which, as history has shown again and again, may not be on the album) does not demonstrate notability. I suggest User:Status and other familiarise themselves with these guidelines. SplashScreen (talk) 19:53, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nominator and WP:TOOSOON. However I agree that once there is more information, or it's released then it will certainly qualify for an article. It would be a shame to delete it then have to have someone rewrite or go through undeletion process. Instead can the closing admin send it to the Article Incubator or userfy if someone wants it, though I think the incubator would be better.

Delete per Callanecc's conditions. If this album is released a month from now, there's is going to be a lot of moaning and complaining when someone has to go through the process of a re-write or undeletion even though both aren't necessarily difficult to do but it would be an annoyance nonetheless. -- The Writer 2.0 ^Talk 12:52, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Some of the album's details are still unknown at this time, but regarding the "very small number of exceptionally high-profile projects" standard in WP:NALBUMS for unreleased albums, a good amount of coverage currently exists - e.g., [1][2][3][4][5][6] - and the related short film produced in advance of the album's release premiered at Cannes. Gongshow ^Talk 16:12, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Per reasons above. SE KinG. ^{User page.} _Talk. 22:33, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
KEEP: There's a significant amount of coverage solidifying the article's notability, including 3 singles (2 of which have attained chart success and have received considerable Wikipedia entries) along with the film of the same name that has already been confirmed and premiered. — Cinemaniac (talk • contribs) 11:02, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm moving this comment from the talk page: Callanecc (talk • contribs) talkback (etc) template appreciated. 01:57, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep*- This is useful information and there is no reason it needs to be deleted. I personally use this page all of the time. Don't remove it! - this unsigned comment was written by 65.185.19.94.

KEEP:- I have no idea why someone would want to remove this page, its a highly notable and anticipated album coming out this summer, and some of its tracks have already been released as singles. Green-Halcyon (formerly Aunty-S) (talk) 17:21, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
