Good-Ass Job

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

A first version of this article, A good ass job, was at Afd here; the author has now blanked it and introduced this, which does have one reference. But per WP:MUSIC, Until there is sufficient reliably sourced information about a future album, early information about it should be in the artist's article only, not in a separate article about the unreleased album... Album articles with little more than a track listing may be more appropriately merged into the artist's main article or discography article. Here we don't even have a track listing, or a release date. and this is not even his next album - it's the next but two: he's "prepping" Late Registration now, then comes Graduation, and then this one. (see below) Too soon for an article. JohnCD (talk) 10:22, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. "unreleased albums are in general not notable; however, they may be notable if they have significant independent coverage in reliable sources" (WP:MUSIC) - this doesn't. It has a passing mention. --Stormie (talk) 10:39, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - "he's "prepping" Late Registration now" - Late Registration came out in 2005....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:55, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That was a quote from the reference given in the article; now I look at it I see it's dated October 2005 - not exactly hot news. JohnCD (talk) 11:39, 24 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. Even if you ignore the problem that there's very little information available about this album to support its notability, the fact that it doesn't seem to have any reliable-source mentions since 2005 casts serious doubt on whether even that information is correct. I'm sure this album will be notable once announced properly - Kanye West is a very high-profile act. But right now there's nothing to say, and barely even any evidence the information here is even still correct. ~ mazca  t 12:30, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - non-notable unreleased album. Fails WP:NOTE and WP:CRYSTAL. Jезка  (talk) 12:48, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:HAMMER & WP:CRYSTAL.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 14:13, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. LuciferMorgan (talk) 14:40, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - i'm not prepping late registration now. this article shouldn't be deleted as it has a source which states kanye west will release the next studio album called a good-ass job after graduation. the source is reliable and i will continue to find reliable sources and links. (Comment by the article author Ineel2009champ (talk) moved here from the article talk page and interpreted as a "Keep" !vote.) JohnCD (talk) 14:59, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * If you do find some more sources I'd happily reconsider my vote. But an article from 2005 that, in passing, states that at that time his next-but-one album was going to be called Good-Ass Job really isn't enough to base an encyclopedia article on three years later. ~ mazca  t 15:51, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Two more links have been added, but one (Softpedia) is another interview report from 2005, the other is a blog of fans guessing what the album might have on it and what it might be called. JohnCD (talk) 10:21, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
