Love and War (album)[edit]

Fails WP:MUSIC. Requires substantial coverage in reliable, third-party sources. None provided, none found. (Sources given are a press release and a blog.) Mdsummermsw (talk) 12:43, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

http://www.blackbookmag.com/article/the-devil-and-daniel-merriweather. Besides which, the "significant independent coverage in reliable sources" criteria only applies to "Demos, mixtapes, bootlegs, promo-only, and unreleased albums", which this is not; it is a future relase album.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Weak delete as failing WP:CRYSTAL. The reference given above is cursory at best, and there appears to be little to no information in the article or that can be made part of the article which passes WP:V, which is suggested by WP:MUSIC ("Individual articles on albums should include independent coverage"). —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 03:49, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete article. Possibly the album can be mentioned on the artist's article. However, there is no confirmed release date (somewhere around spring is not a confirmed release date), as well as significant independent coverage. Wikipedia:MUSIC#Albums states: "Until there is sufficient reliably sourced information about a future album, early information about it should be in the artist's article only, not in a separate article about the unreleased album." Out of 3 references provided, #1 mentions the album (though not an exact release date), #2 is a PR press release from the record company, #3 doesn't mention the album at all. That's not "significant coverage". Also, the list of included tracks has not been confirmed.--Lester 04:17, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Daniel Merriweather. This is his only album (and it's not even out yet), so I see no need for a separate article. Bondegezou (talk) 15:14, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
