Halcyon Days (Ellie Goulding album)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article on a reissued version of Halcyon (album) will not be out for another month, having been split off from said article a few days ago. Out of all of the references in the article, this is the only one in a reliable source that even mentions "Halcyon Days" (other than a posting on the artist's official website). Everything else is either about Halcyon, the new song "Burn", or are iTunes listings for the album.

I attempted to merge with the original article 3 times but I've been reverted, once by an IP, again by a new editor whose only edits have been to this page, and a third time by Status who claims he has only reverted me because my merge (rather my revert of the splitting off) was contested. I've already successfully reintegrated the content of the split off article into the original. This reissue has nowhere near the coverage of Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded (a recently main page featured article) or Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection which for some reason also has its own individual page (it looks like a good merge candidate too).

This article is bloated for just being an introduction, a paragraph about its original version, something about the new single, and a tracklist, and is best served as part of the original album article. — Ryulong ( 琉竜 ) 18:48, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Halcyon (album) and protect from being edited until September 2, 2013. The date is specific, a week after the album's release, as that is when we will know information about its charting. (As the creator of) Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded originally only became possible because it charted separately apart from the main album. Of course, articles are more than charting positions, but that's a good start. This article is WP:TOOSOON. — Statυs  ( talk,  contribs ) 18:52, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree, it sounds like the best solution for now. WikiRedactor (talk) 18:57, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I also agree, redirecting sounds like the best solution for now. I apologize for having done a few of those reverts. I did not mean to personally attack anyone. It is just that the situation was not made very clear at the time as to why the efforts of a few other editors were completely erased, who, I am sure, aimed for the same goals of perfection and accuracy. I assure you that my only goal is accuracy, and I have edited other Wikipedia pages besides these Halcyon ones, as well as other pages on other Wikis (which of course have other rules and regulations, but the point being that I am not trying to provide false information or ruin pages). It is not polite to blame other editors who ultimately share the same goal and wish to see the pages to be perfect with accurate information. Blue490246 (talk) 12:51, 28 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Redirect - per everything said up until this point. It's just a reissue of a prior album. Sergecross73   msg me   22:34, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
