This article falls under WP:Too soon as the album hasn't been released yet. Bbarmadillo (talk) 17:56, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep. It's out in 5 weeks and will obviously be notable enough for inclusion. While it's a little early, there's already too much detail to include in the band article, and deletion now would be pointless. --Michig (talk) 07:52, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I will only remind about WP:CRYSTAL. -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 08:36, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
 * which is concerned with speculation about future events that might not happen. Given the album has a release date in the near future, with tracklisting and artwork confirmed, WP:CRYSTAL isn't a good argument for deletion. --Michig (talk) 09:40, 22 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep Why delete it only to recreate it later? It's beyond stupid. 170.40.160.25 (talk) 12:35, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep given the fixed release date, its guaranteed notability given the band's popularity, and the fact that the first single has been released from it already. Per the comments above, deleting it now would only mean more work in a few weeks time, and wouldn't improve the encyclopedia. The corresponding essay for WP:Planned films suggests that films can be notable once principal photography has begun. As recording is presumably now complete on the album, which has an announced track listing and release date, I'd say the same principle applies here. Mortee (talk) 18:41, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Regardless of whether it falls under 'Too Soon'it is standard practise to create articles based around releases before their official release date. As others have said, it would only be recreated in a few weeks, so what's the point? Drmotley (talk) 12:34, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
