unsoured CRYSTALgazing article Will (talk) 16:42, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as unsourced crystal-ballery. Nominator encouraged to combine similar listings like this in the future. Stifle (talk) 18:20, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep It seems these deletions requests are flawed. There are lots of references to this particular untitled project, including official press announcements. There is a big difference between not having references listed, but having them exist; and crystalballing. The nominator should do some due diligence, and do an Internet search before making massive nominations. All you have to do is a site search at Billboard, Variety and Rolling Stone. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 19:34, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Neutral There are some elements and sources but probably no quite enough so I refrain from going one side or another.-- JForget 00:09, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Adequate sources provided that demonstrate that album is in the works, specifically referenced as the group's 14th album. Alansohn 00:41, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep This is an album that was written about by Rolling Stone and has recieved a tremendous amount of coverage because it is going to actually be an album. The band has stated this by making Jacknife Lee the producer. There is no speculation. This nomination is a complete joke when it is being referenced to be completed in 2007/8.

 * Strong Keep There is a lot of precedent for articles on upcoming albums with specific press surrounding them, even if no name or release date has been yet specified. (See Radiohead's seventh studio album, Weather Underground (album), etc etc). Ario 22:47, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
 * At the time of the nomination, there were no sources on the article, and it should really not be my burden to include them. That's the reason I didn't nominate (then-untitled) In Rainbows and Chinese Democracy. Will (talk) 08:15, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * That's why there's the "the article doesn't cite its sources" tag. Ario 18:39, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, since this is an actual album that will actually see the light of day (unlike Chinese Democracy, which has a page) Doc Strange 16:33, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
