[edit] Untitled Metallica album

Delete -- While yes It is almost certain that they will release a 10th album, when is unknown and it will not be called "Untitled"; this is comeplete crystal balling. (copied the opposed prod text. Personally, every band can have an untitled + some number.` —— Eagle (ask me for help) 01:22, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - as the orginial proder and my comments quoted above.--Gay Cdn (talk) (email) (Contr.) 02:13, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - unverifiable crystal balllery. MER-C 13:09, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - unsourced, crystal ball. BTLizard 13:47, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Please note that sources have since been added. Uncle G 21:11, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Britney Spears' fifth studio album is a valid entry, as is this one. When an artist announces they are recording their next album on their website, the producer of said album discusses production, and said band introduces two new songs on their tour, it's no longer speculation. This is deletionism run rampant. Anthony Hit me up... 13:57, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
  • I draw your attention to Britney Spears' fifth studio album#References. Where are your references that confirm the assertions that you have just made? Uncle G 17:20, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
    • I have added relevant cites to the release date, how many songs have been writen, who is producing, and the debut date of "The Other New Song". Anthony Hit me up... 20:38, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
      • Edit - I have removed the angry rhetoric, and I apologize to Uncle G... I keep forgetting my self-imposed rule not to edit Wikipedia when I'm in a bad mood. I should've included the cites when I made the article in the first place. Mea culpa. Anthony Hit me up... 14:01, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
        • No worries. Uncle G 21:11, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
      • Why resort to name calling and accusations? It's very unnecessary. PJM 01:58, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep – articles on upcoming albums are nothing new; Metallica has a large enough fanbase to ensure that this page will be updated frequently as details of the album emerge (such as the proper title). --Alcuin 14:48, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
  • The point at issue is whether there is any verifiable information to support an article now. Notice the emphasis in our Wikipedia is not a crystal ball policy on verifiability. The article discusses two songs, presumably on the grounds that the are on this album. Where are the references so that readers can verify this? Please cite sources. Uncle G 17:20, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per above. Sources in article make it meet the crystal ball test. --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:01, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Look at Category:2007 albums, there are already 37 such articles. It's the wonder of Wikipedia, don't fight it! Wasted Time R 11:45, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
