[edit] Slummin' in Paradise

This appear to be another hoax article about an upcoming album. A Google search for "Mandy Moore" "Slummin in Paradise" results in only 27 unique hits - many of which appear to contain content copied directly from Wikipedia's Mandy Moore article or speculative blog posts. A new album from a popular singer, due to be released in "early to mid 2006" (i.e. any time now) would certainly have more in the way of reliable online references by this point. Looks like this one has sat here unnoticed for six months or so... Kurt Shaped Box 21:59, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete as apparent hoax. Search turns up references this is actually her fourth album, not her fifth, and a single "Hey" as being the sole release from the album so far. No indication anywhere of this being her final album, save for WP mirrors. I'm also curious that several sites refer to her signed with Sire Records, but the Sire site doesn't show her there.

  • Delete WP:NOT a crystal ball. --DaveG12345 17:12, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom, and delete Hey! (article for a song from this "album" that I've just marked for deletion) for the same reasons (also, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hey!). Extraordinary Machine 01:18, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
Keep Hey is an actual single downloadable and all.Parys 04:53, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
