Encore (Van Halen album)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This will be a high importance album when it appears. But for now, not nearly enough information yet to merit a separate album article. This page should be temporarily redirected to Van Halen, specifically Van Halen 2006-present, until album information becomes available. Doomsdayer520 (Talk|Contribs) 10:06, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Strong delete. The album title appears to be a WP:HOAX. Ponderings from Pluto, the source of this "leaked" information, states in the About section of its site: "This is a satirical blog. None of the news events here are real. At least we’re pretty sure they’re not." That aside, even assuming that Van Halen is indeed working on their next album, WP:NALBUMS states that an independent article on an upcoming album "should not be created until there is sufficient reliably sourced information about a future release." Searching online, the coverage at this time seems limited to speculation, the quantity and quality of which I don't believe meets the Chinese Democracy exception, so the article also violates WP:CRYSTAL.

 * Speedy delete given absurdly unreliable sourcing and probability of hoax. --JohnnyB256 (talk) 22:05, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as nominator - Instead of a redirect I am now in favor of total deletion thanks to the further investigation by the folks above. Doomsdayer520 (Talk|Contribs) 10:44, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
