[edit] Untitled Nine Inch Nails album

Untitled Nine Inch Nails album (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Contested prod: WP:NOT for crystal balls. Please add all referenced material to the main Nine Inch Nails article, and only create a new article when at least the title of the album is known. Prod contested because the article does not violate WP:NOT and does not contain speculation. In my view, it violates at least the spriti of WP:NOT, and the article will become utterly useless once the album will have a name and be released, thus making this a news report / crystal ball hybrid and not a timeless encyclopedia article. All artists are regularly known to say that they are "working on a new album" (and the same goes for writers, film directors, ...): that doesn't mean that we should create articles for them. We don't know who will collaborate, what will be the title, which tracks will be on it, ... Specifically for this article, the info on the tour is unrelated, the info on the unreleased tracks of "with teeth" is probably incorrect in that we have no later info that indeed any of thees tracks will apear on this, another, or no album. There will be an album, hopefully in 2007: why not just add this to the main NIN article and be done ith it? Notice also the so far uncontested prod's Untitled Green Day album and Untitled Dream Theater album, created by the same editor. Fram 12:55, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, recreate it when there's at least a title announced. Agree with nominator, referenced speculation can go in the NIN article. --Canley 14:20, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I agree. Let's wait until an official title is confirmed. Alex 15:11, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, you see these kinds of articles all the time, and with a release date approaching, little tidbits of information are leaked or revealed about upcoming albums, and this is where this stuff belongs. Besides, like it was forementioned, it does not violate WP:NOT or contain speculation, and when the title is announced, its not gonna take 2 seconds to move that page (unless you have dial-up or something). -- Reaper X 22:49, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Agree with nom: once all the speculation is removed, there's nowhere near enough to justify a full article yet. The only official, verifiable information here is a year-old quote, a photo, and a tour schedule—none of which give any definitive information about an uncoming album. - Rynne 01:07, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I'm not categorically opposed to articles on upcoming albums; if there's a track list or significant information out there, that's fine. However, in this case the album doesn't even have a title yet. The whole article could be summed up in one sentence on the Nine Inch Nails article: "Nine Inch Nails is purported to be working on a new, as-of-yet untitled, album due out sometime in 2007" --The Way 07:26, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Agree that the information here is insubstantial, and could be summarized succinctly in the main NIN article, at least until a title or more substantial information about the album is known.  Tabanger  01:33, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
