The result was delete. Keep arguments have failed to indicate how the album passes WP:NALBUMs, especially the part on unreleased material. There have yet to be any in-depth sources on this unreleased album, and those in the article are about the single. Should this be released it may be notable, but at this moment it isn't. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:34, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Matangi (album)

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

Too soon for creation of article on this forthcoming album. It has no confirmed release date (sources only use vague terms like "in the summer", "in the fall", or "later this year"), no confirmed tracks (there has been no confirmation that any of the individual tracks mentioned in the article will definitely be on this album) and no significant coverage (there has been a raft of brief mentions of "M.I.A. will be releasing a new album later this year" but that's about it......). Re-create when more is actually known for certain about the album -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:39, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, because although information on this album is scarce, there is reliable and properly sourced information on some of the tracks here, and it forms a reasonable resource for information on a notable album that will be expanded upon as information is released.

None of the tracks mentioned in this article are confirmed to actually be on the album AFAICS. So what we have is an article that basically says "there is an album coming out at an unknown point in the future, and it might contain these songs"..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:36, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Today, M.I.A. stated on her Twitter account that the tracklist for the album is coming out tomorrow. [1] So at least that information will be released. QuasyBoy (talk) 00:31, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the image that M.I.A. posted: [2] via TwitPic, of the tracklist. However, a few of the words are hidden. QuasyBoy (talk) 22:53, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, because though the full tracklisting hasn't been confirmed, 12 titles are known. It is well known that she is hoping for a 12/12/12 release date, even if this hasn't been confirmed.

Delete as WP:TOOSOON, only just escaping the hammer but still not suitable for an article. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 01:48, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, She tweeted that she would release the album in "DEC"(ember), there's an album title, and a track-list (somewhat). M.I.A. has always been subtle about pre-release information, so it'd be unnecessary to delete the article. SuperDopeBass (talk) 20:18, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep/Incubate album might come out later this year. So far the album has yielded a notable single and another one is on its way. Bleubeatle (talk) 02:32, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
