This is alleged to be a solo album from Chad Kroeger (of Nickelback). It's unsourced, and I can find no evidence that it exists. I'm putting it here because this user has created pages for all the people who supposedly collaborated on it. These are people whose only claim for notability would be this album. So I'd like this thing deleted (or myself proven wrong) with a chance for discussion before all those other folks have to go too. Glenfarclas (talk) 12:53, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Something odd is going on here. The Chad Kroeger article says a few songs for this album were recorded in late 2009. No source is given on when the album will be released or even what its true title is, or whether those songs were truly recorded. Not enough info exists to satisfy WP:FUTURE. Delete for now - article can be recreated when (if) the album appears in reality. I also share the suspicion that the article is serving as some sort of promotional gimmick.

Strong Delete. I don't know if this is some kind of hoax. At the very least, it's a WP:CRYSTAL violation, as I can find zero reliable sources to verify this album title, a release date or track listing. Does not meet WP:NALBUMS. Gongshow ^Talk 16:51, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:NALBUMS. No reliable third-party coverage found. KuyaBriBri^Talk 17:26, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I have prodded two of the three individuals the nom mentioned whose only claim to notability is association with this album (Kevin Balducci and Robby Drake). I redirected the third, Josh Hartzler, to his spouse Amy Lee. If bundling them with this AfD nomination is a better approach I would not oppose. KuyaBriBri^Talk 17:26, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Unless done very carefully, I find that bundeling AfD's tend to explode in ones face. Prodding would be my choice too, with the note that if sources would appear, they may also give notability to the contributers. Further, as I originaly PRODed this article too, Delete.

Delete - no indication this exists, and the fact that the track list suggests at least two already-successful songs from other artists and on other albums would be included makes it look even more suspect. Tony Fox (arf!) 22:07, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Something weird is going on with this. I googled "Thought Tracker," and the only thing that came up that had the slightest connection to music was this article. No third party sources, and it seems like there should be some information from whatever label it was produced on, assuming it was even produced. There is a mention on Chad Kroeger's page, still with no citation. (Assuming this is deleted, someone should make sure that's gone too.) No website on Chad Kroeger mentioned this either. Also, it contains a reference to Brandon Kroeger replacing Daniel Adair as Nickelback's drummer. Again, no coverage of this, and it would seem a rather major event to be ignored even by the bands own website, no? I think someone's pulling a fast one an all of us.

Comment: thanks for finding that on Chad Kroeger's page, I've removed it as unsourced. --Glenfarclas (talk) 06:10, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
