The result was   Withdrawn by nominator. Even though the AfD expired there has not been any closing admin action on it. Seeing as the nominator has since withdrawn the nomination I am inclined to mark it as such. That being said, since the album now has a name and this article redirects to it, I don't think it would be controversial to delete the redirect after a certain point, though I'm not sure if it should be done now as some might legitimately type in this article title at this point.

Mika's second studio album

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

This album is not yet confirmed by the artist, fails WP:HAMMER and no sources found. ApprenticeFan talk  contribs 01:20, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete (or merge) un sourced but still future album. JJL (talk) 01:26, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep but move back to Mika's second studio album as no title has been confirmed. However, the album has been covered in multiple reliable sources—I've added several citations. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 05:25, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The title, introduced with this edit, might be vandalism, actually, bordering on a BLP violation. Maybe the article should be moved ASAP. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 05:37, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

 * I know that it's problematic to move an article while an AfD is already underway, but I am sufficiently concerned about this unsourced title that I have gone ahead and moved it. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 16:46, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete and recreate when the album is released. Gosox5555 (talk) 20:50, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete and recreate as mentioned by Gosox5555 --Mpdelbuono (talk) 20:12, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Album's release date is reported in reliable sources (BBC for one), so this does not appear to be a WP:CRYSTAL problem. Per the basic principle of eventualism, deleting and recreating an article in a few months, especially where relaible, in-depth sources exist now, seems to be a poor way to handle things, seems to be about jumping thru hoops just to jump thru them.  --Jayron32. talk . say no to drama  21:54, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I'm in agreement with Jayron32. Even since his message, more reliable sources have been added including interviews with Mika himself discussing the record. Plus, myself and Freshpop have made the article look more presentable. Dark Horse King (talk) 16:42, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep As stated previously by Jayron32, it would be a confounded decision to delete this article for it only to be recreated with the same information in a month’s time. This is especially considering the respectable amount of reliable sources referenced. Freshpop (talk) 18:17, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * WP:NALBUMS says that "generally, an album should not have an independent article until its title, track listing and release date have all been publicly confirmed by the artist or their record label." What's here is well-referenced, no contest there, but since the track list is incomplete and the title is yet to be known, a merge into the artist's article pending the title and complete track list seems appropriate to me.

 * The title of the album, We Are Golden, has been announced on Mika's official site. Dark Horse King (talk) 15:30, 14 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Withdrawn as right now, the official title of Mika's second studio album is now announced. ApprenticeFan  talk  contribs 01:54, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
