Put it to a vote - does a debut album that has not even been released meet notability requirements? Kellymoat (talk) 15:46, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ - but my vote is hardly unexpected since I am the one that nominated it. I am actually ok with a redirect to the artist (assuming the artist meets notability requirements). But I am simply not sure how a debut album could possibly meet notability requirements prior to it's release. Kellymoat (talk) 20:26, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate vote from nominator; the nomination is considered as your vote, however, feel free to comment all you'd like. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 16:00, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The album has been confirmed and upcoming soon. Xboxmanwar (talk) 17:40, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It was "confirmed". How does that make it notable? Kellymoat (talk) 20:26, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It includes a notable single. Xboxmanwar (talk) 20:40, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

But I didn't nominate the single (which was released 6 months ago) for deletion or redirection. Notability is not inherited. Albums must meet their individual criteria. (sorry, I don't have the links to the rules) Kellymoat (talk) 20:53, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Other album articles were created before it was released, examples are Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight, Trapsoul and Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin'. Check their history for proof. Xboxmanwar (talk) 21:41, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

First, you said your piece, now sit back and let others vote. Because I am finished with it and won't respond to you again. Otherwise, it will just be me and you going back and forth on a subject that we will never agree on. Secondly, about other articles - using the "but everyone else is doing it" excuse is never a good defense. Kellymoat (talk) 22:13, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This shouldn't be a surprise since I created the page, but there is a lot of credible sources out there that allows this to be a notable article, and the album comes out in less than two weeks, so what is the point of removing something that is credible and coming soon?

Keep - Agreeing with JayPe. JustDoItFettyg (talk) 23:27, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete WP:TOOSOON - doesn't meet WP:NALBUMS yet. David Gerard (talk) 14:43, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - It will be released in 10 days. D.R.A.M. is successful artist and the album gonna be released by a major label. Now try to nominate Starboy for deletion and see how people gonna react. --Eurofan88 (talk) 21:06, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - per Eurofan88. Also, per WP:NALBUM, "an album should not have an independent article until its title, track listing and release date have all been publicly confirmed by the artist or their record label". The title, track listing, and release date have all been confirmed; therefore the article can exist. —SomeoneNamedDerek (talk) 04:01, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - let it snowball. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 14:57, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above reasons. Aoba47 (talk) 20:29, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Article is sourced, and almost certain to chart next week due to "Broccoli" being in the top 10 of the Hot 100, and D.R.A.M. already being on the Billboard 200 with his EP. It was released today, as well. Ss 112 23:57, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Album is released and getting significant coverage and reviews from legitimate outlets. Joliv (talk) 04:04, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
