Finally I think we have enough info for this album to have its own page. The song list needs a source as well as any other speculation this article is grounds for deletion under wikipeida's guidelines. I am trying to figure out what record company is going to release the album. They used Elektra Records before but they were bought out by Warner Music Group under the Atlantic Reocrds Group subsidiary. --zrulli 18:56, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

How do we change the article name to Ursa Major. I saw Stephan Jenkins today (April 16, 2008) speak today at Penn State and he said that the new album would be called Ursa Major and that the B-sides album for their material would be called Ursa Minor. I'm pretty sure he was serious. 68.38.125.137 (talk) 03:57, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

It seems to have been done... I wonder, is there (was there ever?) a citeable source for the claim that the album's title was to be The Hideous Strength? If so we should put this information into the article, and otherwise, we should delete the redirect. Or maybe, if it's all unverifiable rumours, delete the whole article until there's something encyclopedic to write? Anyway, I've unlisted it from WP:RM. Some references wouild be nice!

Hmmm... except that in WP:RM the listing was The Hideous Strength -> Ursa Major (Third Eye Blind album) but in the talk page notice it was to Ursa Major (album), and the article had been moved according to WP:RM. I've moved it again, there's no need for the band name in the disambiguator, and created a disambig page as we now have three articles to disambiguate. Hope the name is accurate...

[edit] Sources

Before I move for deletion per WP:AfD some time in the near future, can anyone cite some reliable sources to take this out of WP:CRYSTAL range? Erechtheus (talk) 21:51, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

I tried putting a speech from Stephan Jenkins on Wednesday 16 April 2008 at Penn State University as a source for the name of this album and that it is scheduled to come out in the Fall of 2008. That was taken out down. I was at that speech. I can't find any news articles talking specifically about what he said, but here's a news article about the event.

The reason that doesn't work as a source is WP:RS. It sounds like perfect territory for wikinews, but that's a different project. Erechtheus (talk) 02:50, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

The official Third Eye Blind facebook page refers to the album as Ursa Minor now as well. I'm not sure if this is a credible source, but here is the link: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Third-Eye-Blind/34254940936 Nightswatch (talk) 05:33, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
