The result was Keep. As Ten Pound Hammer noted, "[blank]'s nth album" usually means crystal balling, but it seems there's info here to keep. GlassCobra 09:40, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ace of Base's fifth studio album[edit]

Unreleased album (crystal ballism) with little or no media coverage. Fails WP:MUSIC#Albums and songs: Unreleased albums are not notable unless there has been substantial coverage in reliable sources. —Hello, Control ^{Hello, Tony} 01:39, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete "(artist's) Nth studio album" is usually a sign that there's not enough reliable info out there yet, and this proves no exception. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 01:42, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - If the article had no useful information I would see why it had been nominated, but there is. Also, it is expected the band will be announcing more information via their website any day now. The only real reason I can see for deleting it is that it doesn't have a name yet. So what? AcerBen (talk) 20:02, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

But it isn't speculation, it's confirmed information from the band themselves. AcerBen (talk) 12:34, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - All the information put there is true and verifiable. In the MySpace reference about the website aceofbasereturns.com it clearly says that the band approves this source as official, at least until their new website is up on May this year. CrushNush (talk) 14:51, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, no outside sources have seen fit to write about this album, so it isn't notable yet. It might pass WP:V, but fails everything else. AnteaterZot (talk) 09:14, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
~~Keep~~ - Merge - WP:CRYSTAL is being misinterpreted here. Absolutely nothing in the article is speculative in nature; everything is simply a restatement of information found in sources. —Torc. ^(Talk.) 05:50, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Discounting WP:CRYSTAL for the moment, what about the fact that there's been no media coverage of the album to satisfy notability concerns? All of the information is from primary sources and fan websites. —Hello, Control ^{Hello, Tony} 10:20, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment Why does it need media coverage to be real? This band is releasing an album after 6 years of absence in Europe and 10 years worldwide, how do you expect that when the band is at best remembered as a 90s hit maker? CrushNush 22:53, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - Comment It doesn't need media coverage to be real—it needs media coverage to be notable. —Hello, Control ^{Hello, Tony} 23:56, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      - Reply - You're right. Vote is now to merge. I still do not support deletion though. —Torc. ^(Talk.) 00:07, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
