Talk:Memoirs... Remix Edition

Reversion
The reason i reverted this album is that without a confirmed release date, cover or even confirmed title (no official source e.g. retailer or mariah herself or another credible source). Without this there is serious issues with this article. (Lil-unique1 (talk) 23:41, 19 December 2009 (UTC))

Hi,

I was just following what seems to be an established custom on Wikipedia: upcoming albums of famous artists can have articles if there is references information about them. See Still Standing (Monica album), the release of which has been postponed for more than a year, and there is no confirmed track list yet, only song titles. There are more in the Category:Upcoming albums. Why should this be an exception? It is an eagerly awaited album and Mariah has been talking about it for months. Not having a confirmed title never seemed to be a problem; right now the category includes Aerosmith's fifteenth studio album and Untitled English Album (Anna Vissi), neither of them have covers or release dates or even confirmed song titles. (This article's title should be probably changed, though; the most that can be found in the sources is that it'll probably have the word Memoirs in it.) – Alensha   talk  00:17, 20 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually album's with no confirmed title are in major breach of rules so are albums without a release date. Monica's album is acceptable because it has a confirmed titled and has recieved a lot of coverage including its own reality tv series. The problem with Memoirs Remixed is that it has a lot of speculation. It is realiant upon a fansite and rap-up. Although the latter is notable and credible, Mariah Daily Journal is a fansite and therefore not reliable under wikipedia rules for citations. Basing a whole page on just two sources of information is a little bit crazy. This is why i left the remix album info on the main memoirs page as it was sufficant enough for notability on the main album's page. The problem is that at the moment there is little media awareness or third party sources to confirm the information. Mariah has yet to say to a credible source we're working on a remix album. Just because other album's haven't followed rules does not mean we should make exceptions.(Lil-unique1 (talk) 01:06, 20 December 2009 (UTC))

Well, basically everyone who's working on the album has talked about it, but if it's indeed a WP rule that we should have no articles on untitled albums, I don't mind if you revert it to a redirect. I didn't know about that rule. But it's really only a matter of a few weeks before we'll know more about this album :) – Alensha   talk  01:38, 20 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Don't get me wrong i am an MC fan myself so i am excited about the release and i really do hope all of the info is true. But without a confirmed name and pure reliance on Rap-Up as the only credible source we are pushing the boundries of WP:crystal and other wikipedia rule pages. I will go ahead and revert the page until we have more details and more sources. (if a name is confirmed we can re-open the page) Lil-unique1 (talk) 02:27, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
