The result was keep. No consensus can be determined, defaulting to "keep." Also it seems to meet WP:NALBUMS because of the "significant independent coverage in reliable sources" clause. Malinaccier (talk) 00:43, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unreleased album with no coverage from third-party, reliable sources (all of the references are from unofficial, copywrite-violating YouTube videos) A major WP:NALBUMS fail. GaGaOohLaLa (talk) 18:40, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note The above user is a confirmed sockpuppet. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 22:28, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I can't find significant coverage for this album. Joe Chill (talk) 18:55, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge referenced content to the appropriate section of the artist's article. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 19:03, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete after merging the referenced content to Perry's article. There's no need to preserve a redirect from the title of an unreleased album. —C.Fred (talk) 19:50, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The only youtube sources are refering to the music videos. The other information has been gathered through a series of interiews with Perry. The songs recorded are verified by the ASCAP. ~ Themonkeyofdoom (talk) 03:37, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: the album is never released by Perry herself, it doesn't meet WP:MUSIC and WP:ALBUMS. It failed notability requirements. ApprenticeFan ^{talk contribs} 11:00, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You mean WP:NMUSIC and WP:NALBUMS, right? kiac. (talk-contrib) 13:21, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep People need to read up on WP:NALBUMS properly before using it to alarm a delete. It clearly states unreleased albums "may be notable if they have significant independent coverage in reliable sources" - now it has pretty significant coverage in both Blender here - where it is the subject of and reason for an interview (her first real exposure, yes, due to this recording), and also Billboard here - where it is included, described and covered in a sort of biography of her career so far. It is a notable moment in her career that has received coverage and holds it's own, it's existence is not merely trivial like many other unreleased or scrapped albums. kiac.

Keep per kiac's sources. It passes WP:NALBUMS as it has the independent coverage in reliable sources, as stated. talking birds 21:32, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per User: Kiac. Apparently recerived coverage in reliable sources.--Pink Bull 23:08, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
