[edit] Pardon My Blues

Pardon My Blues (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

WP:CRYSTAL; speculative article over an album that is not due out for several months yet. Next to no information available, and certainly nothing that warrants its own article. Google results for any more reliable sources are very sparse; and irregardless, I don't see enough content for an article on this. Also note that the article has "March or April 2008" as a release date, while the infobox says "June 2008", all pointing towards there really being nowhere near enough information available to warrant an article on this subject as of yet. There's more reliably sourced information on this album on the artist's page (Wolf Parade) than on this page, so no merging would be required. No objection to recreation at a later date when there is enough detail available to create an article on the album. AllynJ (talk | contribs) 13:12, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Weak delete - I'm tempted to say rename to "Wolf Parade's Second Album" or merge and redirect, but there just isn't enough. The citation in the article looks outdated given this more recent article. The Wiki article even says the name is "speculative". —Torc. (Talk.) 02:11, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - The citation posted by —Torc. is from an October 2007 interview at the Iceland Airwaves festival. Later, in a December 2007 interview, Dan Boeckner reported on the new album that "we have two more days of tracking overdubs, and then we’re done. We mix in January and it should be out in March or April." The album is a definite; however, the title is less known (Boeckner refered to their new album as Pardon My Blues in this article), so a rename to "Wolf Parade's Second Album" might be better. If you delete this page, it'll just be re-made in a couple months with the official release of the album. The "June 2008" date in the info box needs to be updated to April '08.

    • I have no problem with it being recreated once there are sufficient non-trivial, third party sources available and/or it is officially released - I'm not denying it. It may also be near-definite but there are next to no sources available right now and so isn't really suitable for an article of its own. AllynJ (talk | contribs) 21:31, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
    • Hmm, not doubting you, but where did you get the date on the Iceland article? I can't find it. Anyway, I think the rename is a minimum. The information about the album can be merged to the main artist's article until the album title and release date are set. The current WP:MUSIC guideline does require a scheduled release date as minimum for an independent album article, and there just isn't enough verifiable content to justify having this as a separate article. —Torc.

      • Just to clarify, the interview is actually from October 2006 when Wolf Parade played the Iceland Airwaves festival [1], though I'm not sure why this website is just now posting this online. All of the comments he makes don't add up if it were current material - For example Boeckner refers to his "fiancée"; however, he actually got married in July '07. I'll vote to merge since technically it doesn't belong here yet.(Fulmerg (talk) 03:08, 7 March 2008 (UTC))
