3rd sonic boom six album

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Three articles about supposedly upcoming albums by Sonic Boom Six - but unconfirmed and without release dates. Fail WP:NALBUMS. Ros0709 (talk) 21:56, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Also:


 * Also note that City Of Theives (album) redirects to 3rd sonic boom six album.

 * Delete with a crystal hammer. If anything can be confirmed, merge into band article until a) the album is released, b) it has a name, and c) notability is established.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  21:59, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:HAMMER. (As happy as I am to see WP:HAMMER cited daily, it would still be nice to see at least one day go by without a WP:HAMMER-related deletion discussion...) Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 22:02, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete, per The Hammer.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 22:12, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: In my view, the article relates to a future album, which has not been titled . As such, I believe it fails our notability guidelines WP:NALBUMS and WP:CRYSTAL.  If something comes of it that isn't speculation, I would say include it in the encyclopedia. Also, I can't find anything on google (which I admit is difficult, given that City of Thieves is a popular topic used by other books, and perhaps I'm searching for it wrongly), but I can't find any other RS yet.

'City Of Theives' is the title for the 3rd Sonic Boom Six album. It is to be released in Feb 2009.

'Play On: Arcade Perfected & Rare and Rejected' is the name of the rarities and remix album. It is to be released 'soon' - information taken from www.sonicboomsix.co.uk —Preceding unsigned comment added by Calummckenna (talk • contribs) 22:23, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

I have said where the information came from, from a post via the bands bass player on their official forums. I quote: "The provisional title is 'City of Thieves'." Also, as they are a pretty small band, they own their own record label, and the fact that this information was only divulged on Oct 20, 2008 @ 10:16 PM, I very much doubt that there would be information on google.

All I have done is relayed information that the band have released. Calummckenna (talk) 22:39, 21 October 2008 (UTC) There has been proof FROM THE BAND on the bands official website about these releases. If there is any more problems, I suggest that you contact one of the band members yourself, preferably Barney, who's contact information I am not willing to post here but can be found on their official website. That is www.sonicboomsix.co.uk —Preceding unsigned comment added by Calummckenna (talk • contribs) 22:17, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Calummckenna. Things can change from time to time, and just because a band wants to release something, it doesn't mean they will.  I would say it would violate WP:SELFPUB, as it represents the only reliable source out there on the article. In my view, if the release was notable, we'd have some coverage of it in the press, as releases are typically reported in the media, but even still, we're facing difficulties with WP:CRYSTAL.  These are my two cents, I'm open to hearing any additional comments you may have. Fraud  talk to me  22:27, 21 October 2008 (UTC)


 * STOP… Hammertime! — on top of WP:CRYSTALHAMMER, band may be trying to promote itself through Wikipedia. Also, a conflict of interest is present. MuZemike  ( talk ) 17:44, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The page titled 'rarities and remix' can be deleted, as the page titled 'Play On: Arcade Perfected & Rare and Rejected' has been made to replace it. I don't see anything wrong about that page, it has a release date, album artwork, a record label and a tracklisting. This album has been announced on the bands official website, and official myspace page.
 * The pages titled '3rd Sonic Boom Six album' and 'City of Theives (album)' could be deleted, as there is not too much information about this future release yet.


 * As for the band self promoting the albums...I have nothing to do with the band, I'm just a fan, and if by releasing information via Wikipedia is classed as 'self promotion' then you're clearly wrong.Calummckenna (talk) 20:19, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
