Delete. Prodded but apparently had been deleted through that process previously, thus ineligible to be prodded again. It would have made it through otherwise. This album was never released and doesn't appear it will be. There are no sources which are required by WP:NALBUMS for an unreleased album. At this point, the singles released are independent of the album itself. -- Wolfer68 (talk) 23:12, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Three years beyond the originally proposed release date, the artist is no longer with the label, not even a rumor about a potential release date. This is no Chinese Democracy, does not meet WP:NALBUMS. The information for the singles is already at the artist's page, so no need to merge. J04n(talk page) 23:49, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I'm confused--how do we know its not been released, and how does that accord with the Billboard article on it?--Epeefleche (talk) 00:01, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It looks as if you found a source that shows there was a planned release for this album. That may support a redirect then. --Wolfer68 (talk) 16:52, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any evidence from a RS that it was not released.--Epeefleche (talk) 23:39, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As the album still does not pass notability requirements per WP:NALBUMS, you provide further support for a redirect. --Wolfer68 (talk) 09:37, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Since all 3 of the singles from this apparently unreleased album entered Bilboard genre charts, I would say it passes notability. Amazon currently lists its release date as 1 Dec 2010. As J04n said, it's no Chinese Democracy; but hopefully it's no Never Say Never (Alias album) either. Contains Mild Peril (talk) 20:28, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Contains Mild Peril comments.--Epeefleche (talk) 20:45, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a source that says the album was shelved.[1] I don't know if Last FM is a reliable source, however. Since the singles never made it on an album, one cannot assume they would be on this album when or if it is released. --Wolfer68 (talk) 17:55, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral, per Wolfer comments above (thanks for finding and sharing that, Wolfer!). More info could change my vote (again).--Epeefleche (talk) 21:04, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge whatever verifiable into the author's article. - Altenmann >t 21:50, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, JForget 00:18, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. It looks like all we have to go by is that amazon.com is saying that it will be released 1 December 2010, there have been more reliable sources (Billboard) giving other release dates that were not realized. The article is still little more than a track list, and I don't know where the track list came from. I see no rationale to keep this page. J04n(talk page) 04:39, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
