[edit] Korn Kovers

This album has been rumored and "confirmed" since January 2005 but nothing has happened with it at all. It seems to have enough buzz about it to be somewhat notable, but it's too speculative. Perhaps a mention in the Korn article but not a full article. Metros232 03:46, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Ditto Sdphost
• Keep The Korn article is long enough. And if you say that there is active buzz then this is notable. The main thing this article needs is some citations of where all this info is coming from. (note these cites were added after this comment was made) jbolden1517^Talk 05:10, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep – but only if the article is cleaned up and sourced soon – Gurch 08:07, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
• Comment There are sources [1] [2] [3][4]. But notice the date on all of them? End of 2004, early 2005. This is a side-project that never came through. At best, it deserves something like "There has been a long rumored cover album entitled "Korn Kovers" but this album has yet to be recorded or released as of May 2006" in the Korn article (it's not so big that it can't include one sentence more) then add the citation(s) to confirm this rumor.

I've changed the article to reflect your belief the project is dead and included the references. Like I said above. This album is notable (given the coverage/buzz) even if it never comes to life. It never has to be released to be an article. jbolden1517^Talk 21:55, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete and merge with Korn lacks citations and proof of enough notability to merit its own article.--Strothra 16:35, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Since everyone is quoting wind I should note there is an entire category for not released albums [5] jbolden1517^Talk 01:36, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

I think there's a differance between unreleased albums and this though, as it seems to be purely conjecture at this point. I mean, the only current sources are over a year old, and one of them, I read, cites Brian Welch - who hasn't been in the band since Feb. 2005. If it ever was on, I'd say it's off now, not only because the band hasn't said anything in the space between now and when the sources were posted, but because Brian Welch left on top of that. A mention along the lines of 'In 2004 the band were planning a cover album, but no information has been release since' in the Korn article would suffice, in my opinion. Dead 10:40, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
