Diamonds (Lil Peep and iLoveMakonnen album)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:NALBUM, on account of not having been released and having almost no details available about it, and if one of its makers is to be believed, will now never be released. I've been following this for a while – a collaborative hip hop album that was put on ice indefinitely after Lil Peep died. There is coverage of iLoveMakonnen speaking in 2019 after Lil Peep's death, talking about how he was continuing to work on the album, , , but those were WP:PRIMARY promotional interviews around the release of the lead single from the planned album, and don't really say anything more than that he was continuing to work on the record – no details of other songs or anything. The two songs that are talked about in any detail, "Sunlight on Your Skin" and "I've Been Waiting", already have their own articles. And now according to a recent Instagram chat with iLoveMakonnen, the album will never be released. Of course, decisions and circumstances can change, but as of now, the release of this album appears unlikely, so this is WP:CRYSTALBALL and there is almost no reliable information about it, and we shouldn't be keeping stub articles indefinitely based on a possible release one day in the future. If it does eventually see the light of day, the article can be easily recreated, because there's almost nothing here worth keeping – a few days ago a new editor added a track listing, but this is unsourced OR and are the editor's only edits to Wikipedia so far. This collaborative album is already mentioned in the articles for both artists. So there's nothing to merge, and as both artists are notable, no redirect target per WP:XY.

 * Delete – Fails WP:NALBUM and appears to be nothing special, despite tragic circumstances, etc. Web sources make passing mentions of expected album while talking about/with artist, but naturally have nothing much to say about album directly. Article itself should never have been made; now's not too soon to kill it. &mdash; JohnFromPinckney (talk) 20:37, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
