[edit] Franz Ferdinand's third album

Franz Ferdinand's third album (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article is pure speculation; there's not even a title, a confirmed release date etc. All it is based upon are snippets from interviews, or performances of unreleased songs live. Many of the article's bullet points - something not encouraged in the manual of style - state that members of the band 'implied' or that fans 'have speculated'. This is not useful or accurate material for an article; a definate release date, confirmed tracklisting or title are at least required, I would expect, for a pre-release article on an album Pretty Green 11:55, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. WP:CRYSTAL. --Evb-wiki 12:15, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Definitely going to come out, they've already done pretty significant work. Trim out the excess interview stuff, though. Also, the "possible tracks" smacks of OR a bit. GlassCobra 17:28, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
• Keep This is the way I always find out about a new album by my favorite bands. We'd have to delete around a hundred articles if you delete this one. Also, we can move it once there's a title, and any problems we have (like the bullet points) are easy to change. Keep. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Laynethebangs (talk • contribs) 19:54, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
• Keep While it's true that much if not most of the article is speculation, that Franz Ferdinand is in fact working on a new album is pretty much certain. The article's existence is acceptable under the criteria of WP:CRYSTAL, so citing that policy is nonsense here: at best, it is an argument to cut the article down.

• Keep Alex Kapranos has made it clear this album is being made, with constant updates on MySpace and more and more new songs playing live. Therefore this article should be kept, many fans of the band may want to keep updated with the album and quite a lot come to Wikipedia to see what's new. Keep.
