13 Japanese Birds[edit]

Contested PROD: upcoming album with no reliable sources - sole source is a link to a forum added when the PROD tag was removed. Google search has a few appearances in listings, but certainly nothing that would count as a Reliable Source. Stormie (talk) 23:06, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Doesn't seem to be happening soon and no references --Vhoscythe^chatter 23:26, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, article fails to establish notability as per WP:MUSIC. Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 01:21, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"In general, if the musician or ensemble that recorded an album is considered notable, then officially released albums may have sufficient notability to have individual articles on Wikipedia." Dadaesque (talk) 03:39, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The album hasn't been released, though, has it? "Demos, mixtapes, bootlegs, promo-only, and unreleased albums are in general not notable" --Stormie (talk) 04:46, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I'll vote delete then.Dadaesque (talk) 07:10, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as non-notable and unverifiable. I removed the sole claimed reference source as it was to a discussion forum requiring registration, and therefore not suitable as a Wikipedia external link. Article can be recreated once album has actually been released and received non-trivial press coverage. --DAJF (talk) 08:11, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Category:Merzbow albums lists 139 albums. Among them are Dolphin Sonar (album), an article on a forthcoming album, created July 2. One might ask whether other albums by Merzbow meet Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. Fg2 (talk) 01:07, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's best done at another time in a different discussion. Here it can be considered a red herring. B.Wind (talk) 04:51, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
