The Middle Passage

This album is the music album equivalent of vaporware. It fails both WP:CRYSTAL and WP:MUSIC as it has yet to be released and has not been noted by any reliable third party publications. JBsupreme (talk) 06:12, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment If the album is deemed non-notable, we should convert the page into a redirect for Middle Passage. Zagalejo^^^ 06:40, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as it hasn't quite reached "Chinese Democracy"'s in-joke status. WillOakland (talk) 07:08, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Article is a mess and assumes Wikipedia is a crystal ball. Notability is not established either. Artene50 (talk) 10:21, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Album exsistance and in progress status is noted in an article for XXL magizine as you can see here,http://news.infoshop.org/article.php?story=20060409134218441. This was written in 2006, so it seems to me that the nominator did not even search for any sources of notability and just assumed that it was so.Other's have also reported on it as you can see here; http://www.sixshot.com/print.asp?id=4456, http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.3244/title.immortal-technique-takes-on-bush, http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-118942267.html, http://www.nobodysmiling.com/hiphop/news/84359.php,http://news.hotmc.com/archivi/news/200411/attesoritornoperimmortalt.924.html,Johan Rachmaninov (talk) 01:21, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Exactly. An album which has been in progress for 2+ years is not really an album. Its non-existent vaporware. JBsupreme (talk) 04:31, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Technical it does exist, but it is just in progress. But, anyway, I digress. Though honestly, I don't see the point in deleting this. Some would eventualy have to recreate it when the album is released. And if you check [[WP:CRYSTAL], it state that any any speculation must be verifable. Saying that the album is vaporware is not an argument that can be use to argue deletion and the charge of vaporware is not either.Johan Rachmaninov (talk) 05:48, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This represents what's wrong with wikipedia. People would rather delete an article than improve it. I suggest you do your reasearch before just putting an album up for deletion. 66.222.255.216 (talk) 02:16, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Just improve the article (Rrozner (talk) 20:17, 21 June 2008 (UTC))[reply]
Delete. Album doesn't exist so shouldn't have an article. The fact that he tricked a few gullible journos from writing about it doesn't change this. He could be dropped from his label tomorrow, and the album never surface.Yobmod (talk) 16:07, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete without prejudice per Yobmod. The album does not exist, hence it is not (as of yet) notable. RFerreira (talk) 17:31, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I think it is safe to say this album will never be released --T-rex 16:06, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - without prejudice per WP:CRYSTAL and WP:MUSIC with full support to recreate if something real materializes.--Finalnight (talk) 17:02, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
