 * Keep It's an article about a soon-to-be released album, come the fuck on guys. Deleting this would be beyond stupid. 24.1.114.220 (talk) 23:09, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
 * WP isn't here to be a band's free promotion. If you're going to abuse it as such, at least get the timing right. Andy Dingley (talk) 23:32, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
 * This isn't free promotion you complete fucking retard. Album pages are virtually always created before release, this is no different. I have no idea why'd you want to delete it. Makes no goddamn sense whatsoever. It only makes Wikipedia less useful. 24.1.114.220 (talk) 17:50, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Describing those who disagree with you as "complete fucking retards" is hardly going to advance your case. Andy Dingley (talk) 19:14, 23 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep This album hasn't come out yet and there's no information really available on it. Keep it, don't be Wikipedia snobs.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mtk180 (talk • contribs) 00:09, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment: For what its worth, the artist did confirm the album and its completion. Is that enough to warrant keeping the article at this time? Perhaps not but I get the feeling we are going to be back at square one come November when it is supposed to be released. I also found some other sources here and here. -- The Writer 2.0 Talk 00:21, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
 * No, because that would be a primary source. What an album article needs is reviews, by independent reviewers. Touring the album (and reviews of the tour) or airplay would work too. It's just too easy though to make your own album and offer it for sale - like self-publishing a book. It doesn't become notable until other people start to take heed of it. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:25, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Songs on the album have gotten airplay though. The song "Bonfire" premiered on the NYC hip-hop radio station Hot 97.  As well, the song was in the top 60 on iTunes shortly after release for purchase, and it is still within the top 50 of hip-hop songs. Keep Dfnj123 (talk) 09:53, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Release-day chart positions are too variable (and easily bought) to count for much, but if it's selling noticeably over a week, and you can reference this, then that's the sort of notability that would count. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:31, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete from article space, and userfy until (or possibly just before) release, when hopefully there may be some information not based on press releases and other promotional material for it. Pesky  ( talk  …stalk!) 03:48, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
