Unnamed album with no confirmed release date. Delete per WP:NALBUM and WP:HAMMER. I42 (talk) 18:47, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

• Merge to Nelly. There isn't a lot of significant coverage of this forthcoming album in reliable sources, but there's enough to confirm that recording is in progress and that many of the statements in the article are correct, and I don't see the logic in deleting this rather than merging to the artist article, at least until there is more coverage, when a separate article may be justified.--Michig (talk) 07:40, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
• Delete - I agree with Michig that the album will probably soon be a reality and this article will have to be re-created, but the sources are not reliable and WP:CRYSTAL and WP:HAMMER are relevant guidelines. DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 18:53, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

WP:HAMMER isn't a guideline. This MTV article confirms that the album is in progress. There isn't a lot that can be reliably sourced but what there is (probably only a couple of sentences) should be included in the Nelly article.--Michig (talk) 19:26, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Just to clarify, I said "guideline" meaning that it can be used as guidance in this discussion; rather than "rule" which must be observed at all times, I guess. DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 19:39, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

It's an essay reflecting an editor's opinion rather than a guideline like, say WP:MUSIC or a policy like WP:NOT (which includes WP:CRYSTAL), and it's often wrong as it over-generalizes. --Michig (talk) 19:56, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Delete - even with the official confirmation of some album by Nelly is imminent, there is no evidence of the name being Nelly's Sixth Studio Album. Thus at best this so-called "title" will be a redirect... and an unused, potentially confusing one once the official name is announced. Add the appropriate information to the Nelly article, but delete this in all due speed. 147.70.242.54 (talk) 17:37, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

• Merge with Nelly for now. There's no rush; once more information becomes available, this should be re-created with the actual title of the album as the article name. Torchiest (talk | contribs) 16:40, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Delete This is WP:CRYSTAL balling. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 02:29, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
