Watch the Throne

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

Nothing here passes notability standards at WP:NALBUMS. Their is no confirmed release date nor is their coverage from reliable sources (all apart from Pitchfork Media). Whatsmore it is built around speculation. In its current state the album is simply six sentances which say very little else apart from the recording location and two producers. A small paragraph on both artists' pages would suffice but an independent article? certainly not. -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | talk2me 04:12, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

note, i was not aware of the previous AFD discussion but a quick glance shows that users made comments such as "This will not stay short. Kanye plans to release music every Friday until Christmas. So there will be more" which are not relevant to this album. Additionally I don't believe that the previous AfD addressed the issues of not having a track listing or substancial independent coverage. -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | talk2me 04:16, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

MTV has confirmed the album as being in production, with the given title ("Watch the Throne"), but no release date is mentioned. http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1652539/20101117/jay_z.jhtml FunkyDuffy (talk) 20:00, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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

Merge into Kanye West. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. The article will merit its own article when it's released.--res Laozi speak 00:06, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into both bios. Plenty of reliable sources, but the article does not say something relevant or notable. Tbhotch^Talk ^C. 19:47, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - per the above. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 15:30, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
