WP:CRISTAL applies here. D.Lazard (talk) 14:05, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Albums and songs-related deletion discussions. D.Lazard (talk) 14:05, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. WP:CRYSTAL does not apply; it has a release date, cover art, track listing and there's no speculation. It is a notable album by a prominent artist with enough sources already. It will only grow and we're only two months out from release. (D.Lazard appears to have come across this article because I added a hatnote to an article they edit, Subtraction, as Subtract redirects there, and the album is pronounced "subtract". Unless Subtract is made into a disambiguation article, this article should definitely be linked from where it redirects because it's how you say the album's title.)

 * Strong keep agreed with the above. — Status  ( talk  ·  contribs ) 14:14, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep - improper use of CRYSTAL. It's not used as a blanket reason to prevent future album articles from existing. There's already 3 high level reliable sources in the article citing all of the content. That's not what a CRYSTAL violation is. Sergecross73   msg me  14:18, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep - no the hell it does not apply. Did you even read the sources provided? mediafanatic17   talk  14:24, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep already has coverage in Rolling Stone and Billboard. I suppose we could draft the article until released; I'm almost certain there will be coverage about it. The artist is a major international singer. Short of something tragic happening, there will be coverage about it. Oaktree b (talk) 14:53, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep as all of the above. Certainly not WP:CRYSTAL. Peterpie123rww (talk) 15:14, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep: I do understand any possible concern about having an article about an upcoming album that was only recently announced, but as there is already coverage in established sources like Rolling Stone and Billboard, I do not see a strong case for deletion. I could maybe see an argument for drafting the article, but this is pretty much guaranteed to get coverage based on the artist. Aoba47 (talk) 15:22, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Speedy/SNOW keep - Consensus already that the use of WP:CRYSTAL as a rationale here does not apply. - "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (work / talk) 16:17, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Strong keep the rollout pretty much only started today and will only grow bigger from here with possible single releases and promotion, as other users already pointed out. The album is only 2 months away and is already equipped with release date, cover and track listing. Lk95 (talk) 18:01, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Strong keep it already has multiple reliable sources and a confirmed track list, release date, and cover, I don’t really understand how WP:CRYSTAL applies given the amount of info available already. CAMERAwMUSTACHE (talk) 18:47, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep: per above. Spiderpig662 (talk) 20:45, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep: I question how you came to this conclusion that it applies. Even though it does not, you're not going to convince anyone by merely saying "This applies to this article!" and not elaborating. Fernsong (talk) 03:55, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
