Chapter VIII: The Encore of a Gemstone

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

According to an interview with Toni Braxton herself here, she's temporarily retired from music. She's said she hasn't entered the studio in a while. All of the references used to create this article are not reliable sources. &mdash;  Lil_ ℧ niquℇ № 1  [talk]  16:33, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Strong Delete: I previously tried to delete this page as I believe the album project never existed. None of the sources point to it, and those that do point to an existing project do not use this name. In my mind it is an example of OR gone bad.Jeremy112233 (talk) 17:40, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment - I know nothing of Toni Braxton or her music these days, but for what its worth, several of the references in the article, like Huffington Post or Billboard are in general considered to be reliable sources. Sergecross73   msg me   18:15, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
 * You are right that some publishers are RS, but how they are used is not reliable to prove what the Wikipedia article is trying to prove. Jeremy112233 (talk) 18:22, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree regarding the Billboard and first HP one, though I feel the second one is borderline, it actually discusses new music/album. I'm not saying Keep or anything, I just wanted to add that correction to the nomination... Sergecross73   msg me   19:03, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Agreed. The major reason for deletion isn't that a Braxton album might not be imminent, but rather that the title and backstory contained in this article doesn't quite hold together. Thank you for helping in clarifying about the sources though! If a better article about a legitimate album is written, we wouldn't want these sources ignored.Jeremy112233 (talk) 19:12, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - Album fails WP:HAMMER, much of the article is not quite as confirmed as it would lead you to believe. A lot of WP:SYNTHESIS and WP:BOMBARD issues here, and when you peel that away, you're left with very few vague confirmed details about hypothetical future music, which can just be added to TB's main article.
