[edit] Mondo Cane (album)

Mondo Cane (album) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Unreleased album (crystal ballism) with little or no media coverage. Fails WP:MUSIC#Albums. Prod removed under the (mistaken) assumption that an album by a notable artist is automatically notable. —Hello, Control Hello, Tony 12:54, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep WP:MUSIC says "In general, if the musician or ensemble that recorded an album is considered notable, then officially released albums may have sufficient notability to have individual articles on Wikipedia. Individual articles on albums should include independent coverage. Articles and information about albums with confirmed release dates in the near future must be confirmed by reliable sources and should use the {{future-album}} tag."
We have most of that I think. I'll find some more sources if you like, what specifically should I look for? Pwrong (talk) 15:26, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment In the one reference given, the album in question receives a proportionately small amount of coverage (compared to the entire interview). In fact, it reads to me that he plans on calling the project Mondo Cane but is unsure if he'll use it for the album title as well ("I'm not quite sure what I'm going to call the album, but that's the name of the project and I think I'm going to stick with it."). To show notability there needs to be significant (non-trivial) coverage in independent sources. While the interview given as a references helps establish verifiability, it's not enough for notability. —Hello, Control Hello, Tony 16:40, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Mike Patton is a well-known musician. The crystal ball claim is misleading. WP:CRYSTAL states ""Wikipedia is not a collection of unverifiable speculation." The information in this article is verifiable. Catchpole (talk) 17:07, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment Mike Patton said in an interview that he's recording an album of covers of '50s and '60s Italian pop songs. That does not mean the album will see release (the crystal ball part) and it does not mean the album has gotten significant coverage (the WP:MUSIC part). At this point in time there is neither enough verifiable information nor independent coverage for the album to have its own article. A brief mention in Mike Patton, sure, but not its own article. When the album comes out or it garners more media attention, the article can easily be re-created. —Hello, Control Hello, Tony 17:40, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
