The Mirror (album)[edit]

Fails Wikipedia:Music#Albums_and_songs: Unreleased ("not (or not yet) made available for distribution"[wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn]) albums are not notable unless there has been substantial coverage in reliable sources. Mdsummermsw (talk) 22:11, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:CRYSTAL; no verifiable info exists on the album yet save for the fact it's been pushed back. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 22:20, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Asides from the reliable source where Ja Rule is quoted describing this album, the article even links to a review. Catchpole (talk) .22:22, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete:The album was scheduled to be released in 2006 but it has been 2 years and there is still no album.I dont think it will be dropping any time soon plus the article for this album is 4 lines long and not worthy of page.So i think it should be deleted immediatly

Keep - It has information on it by several WP:RSes like MTV, sohh and more... --Flesh-n-Bone 15:04, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The only source in the article is the sohh piece which is a summary of a Rolling Stone article with some editorial comments added in. What it describes as an interview with sohh is actually sohh quoting Rolling Stone quoting the artist. The only source in the article, then, is not a reliable source. There is no MTV cite in the article. In any event, that the artist worked on an album and discussed it with Rolling Stone does not amount to "substantial coverage". - Mdsummermsw (talk) 13:45, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I think this article should be kept because it has two singles, Uh-Ohhh! and Body, that have charted on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Live and Die 4 Hip Hop (talk) 01:16, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - If/when this album is released, that will be a valid argument. Until then, this article needs substantial coverage in reliable sources. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 13:45, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - There's already a reliable source plus a lot more available that I can't be bothered to add for this article, Sandwich. Flesh-n-Bone 18:47, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The album has one source. It requires more reliable information (yes, many hip hop fans could say sohh is reliable - I'm saying more than two to allow for useful details) as to make it worthy of its own article. For now, and considering the article is basically currently just a quote - this can be merged into Ja Rule's article (under it's relevant section that already exists, 'The Mirror (2008)') until more information is available. For a notable artist with an impending album, it shouldn't be much trouble to wait like this until there are more reliable sources. -- Harish - 19:13, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - There just isn't enough information for an article. There is only one source and it doesn't even have a release date. --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho? The head honcho, swift fist like Camacho 02:15, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep - There are THREE sources in the article: one citation and two reviews. That's substantial independent coverage even if the album release date has been pushed back. —Torc. ^(Talk.) 22:01, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
