 * Keep. This article does not violate WP:CRYSTAL for several reasons. It says, "Individual scheduled or expected future events should only be included if the event is notable and almost certain to take place."  The release of Rehab: The Overdose is a notable studio album release (Lecrae's last studio album peaked at number 17 on the Billboard 200) and it is almost certain to happen—several sources have reported the album's release date (January 11, 2011), including Lecrae's own record label.  Additionally, the album is available for pre-order through several online music stores.  Also, Rehab: The Overdose is not an "individual [item] from a predetermined list or a systematic pattern of names".  The article isn't "Lecrae's Fifth Studio Album,"  it's a specific event almost certain to occur, as confirmed by the record label and artist themselves.  Before you choose to delete, please read the article and check the sources.  If you have any questions or problems with what I'm saying, you can add them below or contact me on my talk page.

 * Keep - Tim Mckee is right. WP:CRYSTAL prohibits vague speculation about an unknown future. If something is definitely going to happen in the near future, it is not speculation to say so. This is a viable "future album" article until Jan. 11. -- D OOMSDAYER 520  (Talk|Contribs) 22:09, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Dates are not definite until the event actually takes place.. Mo ainm  ~Talk  22:17, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
 * You got that from the WP:CRYSTAL guideline, but if you read the guideline in its entirety, you'll find that what you said is NOT a reason to delete. It's just a statement that qualifies someone's research of a near-future event that may or may not be confirmed. This one is confirmed, so the statement you quoted does not mean that it won't happen. -- D OOMSDAYER 520  (Talk|Contribs) 22:25, 16 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep - Albums of notable persons are notable per WP:NALBUMS. Tracklist, name, coverart and release date are all confirmed and sourced.  ~ [  Scott M. Howard  ] ~ [  Talk  ]:[  Contribs  ] ~  23:34, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
