Nicki Minaj's First Studio Album[edit]

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

Un-named future album release - WP:HAMMER. The article content is purely speculative ("It is unsure whether their (sic)will be other featured artists", "she also spilled the names of other beatmakers who may grace the as-yet-untitled album") plus is overly promotional ("The album will offer a universal appeal", "To make an amazing album").

Delete- obvious case of WP:HAMMER. There are a few reliable sources talking about the album, but those can be added to Nicki Minaj as news items until the album itself gets closer to reality. DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 16:49, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep/Merge- information on the album is all correctly referenced. I guess since their is no official title to the album or official track listing it should generally be merged with Nicki Minaj for now. Although the page will probably be remade once more official news is given on the album in the coming weeks. 68.161.168.214 (talk) 17:48, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Nothing to merge, blatant WP:HAMMER. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 19:05, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep- Although the album doesn't have an official tittle, everything that is important to an official album is on this page and correctly referenced. Just delete anything that is not referenced correctly and based on rumors. Theuhohreo (talk) 05:31, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - not having a confirmed title, track list, and release date means that the album is not yet notable per rules at WP. But WP is not going anywhere, so articles like this can be recreated after the album becomes a reality. DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 17:37, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Hardly any substance and an obvious case of WP:HAMMER. I like Nicki Minaj and her music but most of this is just pure speculation.Str8cash (talk) 17:45, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Nothing of substance confirmed, so the article just serves as a promotional vehicle.—Kww(talk) 18:12, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Why aren't future albums always speedy deletes? --Bejnar (talk) 17:51, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Because there have been a handful of exceptions where an article was justified. I would happily make "unreleased album or single" a speedy deletion category, but I don't think you will ever get consensus for it.—Kww(talk) 20:03, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
