Decades (album)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article is a hoax from the blogosphere, no reliable sources or even quotes from parties involved. Some elements of truth, which at this stage are only rumours, embellished with outright untruths and POV. Worst part of hoax is album name (and therefore article title) is totally made up.

Delete Would dearly love this to be true, but appears to be no substantial evidence that this exists. yorkshiresky (talk) 12:17, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Not a hoax, good faith from sources supplied; that other people have added to it isnt my fault. Shonuff The Shogun of Harlem (talk) 12:27, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Even if Shonuff The Shogun of Harlem created this article in good faith "from sources supplied", if those sources were hoaxes or for any other reason unreliable then the article is not acceptable. I am not sure what "sources supplied" means, but I have looked at the article in the form it had after Shonuff The Shogun of Harlem had created it, and before anyone else had edited it. There were two "references", both of which were links to web pages which do not even mention "Decades". JamesBWatson (talk) 15:25, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This source confirms much of the information in the article. Derild 49 21 ☼ 14:34, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately the source does not confirm "much of the information in the article", not even that there exists an album with the title "Decades". The article makes no mention at all of the title "Decades", which appears only in a user's blog post to the page.

Redirect to Human League article or Delete - the sources are questionable. All links point to articles that clearly state "rumoured" or "speculation" and "titles subject to change". The supposed official Human League website contains no information at all, it's just a splash-page. This is too soon, no real confirmation here. violates WP:NALBUMS, WP:CRYSTAL. - eo (talk) 11:49, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Its genuine, and both the album and single will be released in 3 weeks so thn people will know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Human League fann (talk • contribs) 12:05, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Note: Human League fann has made no edits outside this topic.

Being genuine isn't enough if it's not notable. If the album and single are released in 3 weeks then we will be able to see whether they are notable enough for an article, and if so an article can be written. In the meanwhile we cannot have an article on the grounds that "it is going to be notable someday". JamesBWatson (talk) 15:40, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete None of the sources given in the article even mentions "Decades" except, as mentioned above, a blog post attached to one of them. Neither the sources cited nor anything else I have been able to find is a reliable source that confirms the existence of a Human League album called "Decades". It seems to me that the nominator is probably right in saying that this is "rumours, embellished with outright untruths", but even if it is all true it is certainly not notable, as no reliable sources exist.
