Keep. If you're going to delete this page, then you should delete this one too: I Am Not a Human Being II. There are enough references and information to keep the article. Also, it is Eminem's album. If you didn't see, it is already an notable album. SrGangsta (talk) 22:14, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It's all very circumstantial and uncertain. It's too early: most of the record was not yet recorded at the time of the cited information. Even of the recorded material, artists almost always record more material than will be on the final album, and it's not uncommon for artists to junk entire recording sessions. I can summarise the facts in the article as follows:

Eminem's done some work on one or more tracks which may appear on his 8th album but we don't know what they're called or what they're about or what they sound like

50 Cent will appear either on the first single, or the second single, or possibly some other track, assuming Eminem (or his record label) doesn't change his mind

Dr Dre is involved "in some capacity", which could mean anything or nothing

No I.D. is also involved in some capacity

People have heard some recent material by Eminem, which may or may not be on the upcoming album, and made some vague comments

I think this fails the guidelines which require meaningful information about an upcoming release. --Colapeninsula (talk) 22:23, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Obvious delete Completely speculative and vague, fails WP:HAMMER. I Am Rufus • Conversation is a beautiful thing. 17:54, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NALBUMS: No title, no track listing, and no release date. Hammertime, indeed. Information about this unreleased album should remain at the artist's article for now. I do not think there is yet enough verifiable information to warrant a stand-alone article. This might be worth incubating, though. Cliff Smith 18:39, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I'm not averse to the idea that some albums might dodge the WP:HAMMER and warrant inclusion before not only release, but before an announced name. But those are the exception, and this isn't one of them. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 15:35, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article is based on this statement: “I’m kinda getting into my next record a little bit." teammathi (talk) 08:08, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge rather than delete. Likely that article will be brought back in future. FM [ talk to me | show contributions ] 15:35, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it will be brought back as "Eminem's eighth studio album" but under the actual title of the album. teammathi (talk) 18:06, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Eminem. Stuartyeates (talk) 22:15, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
