A future album without a tracklisting ---T-rex 23:50, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - depending on the outcome of this vote, I would recommend someone takes a look at List of Now That's What I Call Music! albums... there are quite a few albums on that list in the same condition as this one (Now That's What I Call Music! 72 (U.K. series) and Now That's What I Call Music! 50 (South African series) for example)... - Adolphus79 (talk) 03:12, 15 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete - wouldn't this qualify under CSD:G4? - Adolphus79 (talk) 23:57, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * It may. I'm not an admin so I am unable to see the former version --T-rex 23:59, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I am an admin and I can see the former version. The article was speedily deleted on 4 April 2008 (the admin giving CSD:A1 as the reason), speedily deleted on 14 April (CSD:A3), deleted on 24 May after the first AfD, then speedily deleted on 4 July (CSD:A3). It was recreated, and nominated for speedy deletion 37 minutes later by Truthanado. Speedy deletion was declined by Metropolitan90. He gives the reason this is reasonably expected to be the next numbered album in a long-running, successful series. - Richard Cavell (talk) 00:08, 10 July 2008 (UTC)


 * After thinking about this I think I'm going to change my vote to Redirect to the main article until more information is available. Right now, there is no tracklisting or any other content available other than a release date. Maybe down the road once there's enough to make a decent article we can come back and make the article, but right now, the way it sits at the moment, there's just not enough. - Adolphus79 (talk) 14:44, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Question If that's done, can there be a lock placed on the article so it's not constantly being re-created? --Wolfer68 (talk) 17:11, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * sure, why not... create a redirect, then indef full protect it until the time comes that a worthwhile article can be written... - Adolphus79 (talk) 00:25, 11 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - I believe that the reasons for past speedy deletion ought not to prejudice this article's right to have its day at AfD. It is closer to the release date now, and the text of this article is different to the ones that have been speedied. - Richard Cavell (talk) 00:08, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. All that I'm seeing on the "official site" is "NOW 29: November 4" with no further information. Can find no further substantive information. Fails WP:CRYSTAL at this time. Deor (talk) 03:38, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Way too soon, not enough info. --Wolfer68 (talk) 04:14, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete appears to fail WP:CRYSTAL though I'm not 100% sure what all the policies and guidelines for "upcoming" things are. If music is judged in a similar vein to movies and the album has started production than I suppose it would be a keep. Jasynnash2 (talk) 10:39, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per the exception to WP:CRYSTAL: Individual scheduled or expected future events should only be included if the event is notable and almost certain to take place. Given that there have been three numbered Now volumes in the U.S. series each year since 2001, two volumes have come out this year already, and the most recent one debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 last month, I think it's safe to say that there will be a Now 29 this year and it will be notable. (In fact, all of the first 28 numbered volumes of the U.S. have hit the top 10 of the album chart.) I think it's acceptable to allow editors to write about the immediate next entry in this series, while not allowing articles about any future volumes after that. (In other words, they should have to wait for Now 29 to come out before starting Now That's What I Call Music! 30 (U.S. series).) --Metropolitan90 (talk) 14:24, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete What purpose does this article serve right now?  Delete until some actual content is available to put in the article. Man It&#39;s So Loud In Here (talk) 17:11, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Please don't delete Hey. I don't want this article being deleted. I don't care if it doesn't have a tracklist nor cover i want it to remain on wikipedia. We should get the tracklist/cover in september which is only 2 months away so please don't delete this even though it doesn't get released til november. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.118.146.54 (talk) 00:03, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Nobody is saying that the article can't be recreated, if content for it becomes available --T-rex 00:17, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Aw C'mon please don't delete I'm begging y'all I'm a big Now That's What I Call Music! fan for almost 6 years and i started my collection late 2002 and i have all 28 current volumes so i don't want the now 29 article being deleted. I'm looking forward to the cover and tracklist #1's etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.118.146.54 (talk) 22:30, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
