[edit] Aldaraia

• Keep. There are heaps of album pages like this on Wikipedia, setup so they are ready to be updated when new info becomes availble, everyone else is just being uptight because they didn't think to create it first. Johnnyw probably just rounded up a group of people he knows and got them all to say "delete" after all, he can swing the opinion in his favour since the album isnt linked in the Tool discography, W for wanker. -- Borgy (Talk) 15:50, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. Are you serious? I rounded up my Wikipedia-Lobby-Task-Force to enforce this deletion but was so secret about it that you - and only you - are able to expose this elaborate plot? And who are you anyway??? (Never seen you contribute to ANY of the articles I work on..) Less insulting more contributing, dude... very weak. --Johnnyw 13:01, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. The fact no one can see the album page is enough for me to be serious and that's cause i never contribute to any articles you wrok on and when i am contributing to Wikipedia i usually don't log in unless i need to upload a photo. I am contributing, I put up a template ready to go, to be edited as soon as new details surface, now it has to be created all over again because you want it to be done once the rumor mill has stopped turning. It takes time to build a house right and most of all to compose an album, If you get my drift. --Borgy 1:09, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. You have to make a difference between your wish to keep your work and keeping an article on Wikipedia. As you said, the article is just a placeholder, a "template ready to go". But creating an article as a placeholder is just the wrong way. But don't panic, your work does not have to be lost. =) Just copy the code to user space or to BJAODN. The article itself needs to meet the Wikipedia is not a crystal ball-criteria. So don't take it personally that the article was nominated for deletion. And by the way, I would appreciate if you accepted that I am not the mastermind behind this nomination. I am merely one of the long time and frequent contributors of the Tool article, and usually, I have only good in mind. If a band related article sums up a lot of speculation and rumors (which are not verifiable) it gives the maintainers a really hard time keeping the article up to par with our own standards. I hope you understand my POV as well.. Rest assured that I will be one of the first with helping you with your article, as soon as it qualifies. --Johnnyw 14:32, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

• This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 20:06, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Let's wait until Tool confirms that the album has a title or if Aldaraia is really the album title or not. Mike Garcia 21:00, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. The article itself explains why it should be deleted. -- Krash (Talk) 22:07, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Tool is "famous" for passing out rumours about their upcoming releases that ultimately end up not to be true. —kooo 00:19, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Until any real news turn up this is just another rumor... --Johnnyw 03:18, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. First release, then article. Obli (Talk)^? 11:41, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. This is a rumor. Wikipedia is not an encyclopedia for that which is alleged or possible, only what is. DELETE!!
• Delete. As a long-time Tool fan, I completely agree -- delete this until the details are irrefutable. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by WaxTrax! (talk • contribs).
