[edit] Madonna's forthcoming studio album

Madonna's forthcoming studio album (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)– ([[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2008 January 22#{{anchorencode:[[Madonna's forthcoming studio album}}|View log]])
  • Keep This is not a rumor. This album has been confirmed and it will be released on April 29, 2008. Wikipedia is a great source of information on material such as this, and it will be inconsistent and unfair to delete this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.76.96.15 (talk) 14:58, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep It's not as if this album is a rumor! It is coming very soon - article will show album's development Poetics uk (talk) 03:49, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - This article just seems like a rumour mill and it should be recreated when the release date is confirmed along with a title. Surfer-boy94 (talk) 01:01, 01 February 2008 (UTC)
  • I would say Keep for now and do a cleanup. Speculation and rumors should definitely be removed, but there are very, very few artists who can generate as much buzz about an upcoming album as this one (i.e. I believe it is notable enough). There seems to be a few good sources here and quite a number of news articles, although I would suspect much of this could be cut for now until an official announcement is made by either Madonna's official website and/or the site of her record label. Less dependence on Madonna fansites is badly needed. - eo (talk) 01:07, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Agree with eo to Keep but get rid of all info without authoratative source. JKW111 (talk) 01:42, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep It is a confirmed album coming in the near future (within two months) and deserves to have an article. The rumours could be shortened, but definitely keep confirmed information. Geoking66talk 02:58, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
  • KEEP* The article is named FORTHCOMING album ! After the release: clean up! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.172.247.82 (talk) 12:01, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. There are plenty of articles on Wikipedia about albums slated to be released in the near future.—DMWN (talk) 20:35, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
  • KEEP! Madonna is the most important artist in the world and many people wanna read informations about her next album. also, why delete??? thats not necessary! in addition the video for the first single is shooting now! the album coming in the next 10-12 weeks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.185.230.27 (talk) 23:38, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep: There are several reliable sources in the article. Europe22 (talk) 23:42, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete: No name, no official release date... Unlike Janet and Mariah's new albums... Thankyoubaby (talk) 06:24, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep: Is this for real? The album comes out on April 29, 2008. Janet and Mariah had pages before a title was known, they were known as "forthcoming albums". This is a total waste of time. Of course the page should stay. 68.82.82.248 (talk) 08:27, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • KEEP* Madonna has stated that she is working on a new album at the cartoon movie premiere so keep the article. If your upset with vandalism and what not then suggest that the article be locked from edits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.140.0.3 (talk) 15:49, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • DELETE Fails WP:NOT#CRYSTAL about as badly as is possible. If the album ever gets done, the article will have to be deleted. If not, it will be false. Maybe there's a point to this kind of speculation; if there is, that place is Madonna's own article. No matter what, the NAME of this article is hopelessly problematic. It cannot be allowed to exist under this name. Mangoe (talk) 23:45, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep its a very interesting article, even the speculation is interesting to read i think —Preceding unsigned comment added by Craigtemplate (talk • contribs) 11:10, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
  • KEEP of course! look at the many confirmed references...!!! the delete discussion is totally stupid, sorry! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.185.204.30 (talk) 11:57, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

KEEEEEEEEEEEP ! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.185.204.30 (talk) 17:46, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep All involved artists approved the facts.
  • KEEP! She has done the shooting for the video for the 1st single, and in about 2 months-maximum-the album is going to be released. Alecsdaniel 05:54 7 february 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep All involved artists approved the facts. --Red-Blue-White (talk) 10:32, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
