Glad To Be Live[edit]

Contested prod, which I had proposed on the basis that Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. I have never understood the purpose of this type of article. It's normally not really about the subject at all; it's about the fact that the inchoate subject will exist. Once the thing exists, everything in article like this has to necessarily be changed from about it coming out, to about the album itself. It's really an entirely separate topic and not normally notable. If it was then the article should be named something like "Glad To Be Live release date announced" and that subject should be able to exist either as a separate article or as a subsection of the article once it comes out. But of course it can't. It makes no sense.71.247.123.9 (talk)06:36, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Appears to be a non-notable album (as you would expect considering it has yet to be released). —teb728 t c 06:50, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. With the release date uncertain, it's not even certain the CD will actually be released. Violation of crystal as stated above. -- Mgm|^(talk) 15:53, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep If It Can Be Improved. The websites announce the album to be release in late 2008. I had labeled it to be released in 2009 because it hasn't been released yet. That doesn't mean the album won't be released. Plus, links are links, just because wikipedia talks about a crystal ball doesn't make it true. Tarysky (talk) 17:37, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:BALL. Oh, but the purpose of this article is quite clear: so someone can say "FIRST!!!" Graymornings_(talk) 21:39, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
