[edit] Integrity (Britney Spears album)

Integrity (Britney Spears album) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

This is just a copy and paste of Britney Spears' fifth studio album. There are all sorts of rumours about this album, and we've been quite strict here on the English Wikipedia about keeping them out. There have been several rumoured names, none of which have been backed up with sources, and I and other editors have removed such unsourced rubbish from the article many times.

(Other language Wikipedias, such as the Galician Wikipedia and the Turkish Wikipedia, have not been as diligent. I've just removed several bogus names from gl:Britney Spears, tr:Britney Spears, fi:Britney Spears, and pap:Britney Spears.)

The simple truth is that Spears has not given this album a name, yet. She is currently running a competition to allow the fans to pick a name. I suspect, given that I've already had to edit out unsourced claims that this title won, that the creation of this article is an attempt to stack that poll. After all, news organizations are already citing Britney Spears' fifth studio album as their sources for information on what is happening. (See this badly researched article by Angela Russell published by Associated Content, Inc., for example.)

When Spears picks a name, as a result of the competition or otherwise, we can rename Britney Spears' fifth studio album to whatever name it turns out to be. But that time has not arrived yet. There is and will be no requirement for this copy and paste duplicate at this title. Nor is or will there be there a requirement for a redirect. Uncle G 16:54, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Might even be speedyable. --Kurt Shaped Box 17:41, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Fails criteria in WP:MUSIC and possibly a hoax.--Edtropolis 19:29, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Delete - I will say delete because of WP:CRYSTAL, but I have to disagree with it being a hoax, Edtropolis. Look at the number of sources. --Tλε Rαnδom Eδιτor (ταlκ) 19:56, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
  • As I understand it, Uncle G is proposing to delete this particular article as a needless cut-and-paste move of Britney Spears' fifth studio album - not based on the content. --Kurt Shaped Box 20:11, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Music-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 09:57, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
