At the very least, this is edging on WP:CRYSTAL. Current only sourcing on a release date says album in 2022 (which has been misread as releasing in 2023; that date is referring to the tour) but given how late in the year we are that date feels less than certain. No recent sources have confirmed the name (American Songwriter calls it a "working title") and most of those sources are unreliable anyway. Redirect to Peter Gabriel discography; redirect is especially preferable given this could turn around at any time so it'll be good to preserve the page history in case it's needed.

 * Redirect Agree totally. I'd have been WP:BOLD and just redirected it but at least this way the redirect (if we all agree, natch) has consensus. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 10:11, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect works, or Merge. There are plenty of references there and this can be recreated when it isn't a CRYSTAL issue. Royal Autumn Crest (talk) 11:48, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. I was able to find multiple other recent references to a 2022 release date (Stereogum:, , NME: ), it seems to easily pass WP:GNG and WP:NALBUM (criteria 1). The article itself needs cleanup but there's enough content specific to this album to make me think it's not WP:CRYSTAL, which seems to mostly apply to cases where nothing but WP:OR or baseless speculation can be made. Other pages on anticipated and delayed upcoming albums exist (like Masochism (album)). I can see an argument for redirect but it seems like there's enough here to merit an article and it'd be better to clean-up the existing article. Dylnuge  (Talk • Edits) 14:28, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Peter Gabriel discography. The first AfD for this album was way back in 2014, indicating how long Gabriel has been working on it, so I am very skeptical of the "coming soon" vibe of the present article until we get a REAL release date from the record company and other reliable sources. We don't even know the ultimate title of the album, indicating further that it is far away from reality. In the meantime, the development of the album has been a big factor in Gabriel's whereabouts for the past decade, but that can be described (more briefly) as history at his main article. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 14:36, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Peter Gabriel discography for now. Still fails WP:FUTUREALBUM per nom. No news about its complete track listing, etc. SBKSPP (talk) 00:42, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Peter Gabriel discography per arguments above (WP:FUTUREALBUM). Myxomatosis57 (talk) 17:57, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
