Rihanna's untitled eighth studio album

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Per WP:NALBUMS, 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. Also, notability is not inherited, just because it's a Rihanna album does not automatically make it notable. -War wizard90 (talk) 06:09, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Rihanna discography until there is a title, track list, and release date (per WP:NALBUMS, as mentioned by nominator). Softlavender (talk) 06:44, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. This should really be speedily deleted per #G5 because it was created by a sockpuppet of MariaJaydHicky. No need for a redirect as the name Rihanna will bring up her page in the search results. Binksternet (talk) 08:07, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep as the article is undergoing edits slowly but surely it's coming together Ashantisantos (talk) 10:43, 6 March 2015 (UTC) — Ashantisantos (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Redirect - per WP:NALBUMS, WP:HAMMER. Sergecross73   msg me  11:54, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Procedural note. Even with the AfD ongoing, has moved the article to Draft:Rihanna's untitled eighth studio album. —C.Fred (talk) 17:16, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Whitney Ford appears to be a Duck Sock of MariaJaydHicky as well. -War wizard90 (talk) 21:52, 6 March 2015 (UTC)


 * In my defense I'm on my phone and it didn't show up until after I moved it to the draft; should I have done it or not I'm so, so, so, sorry if I did the wrong thing  Whitney   Ford   17:32, 6 March 2015 (UTC) — Whitney Ford (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Procedural keep as the article as been moved to draftspace. --ToonLucas22 (talk) 21:05, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Note: For what it's worth, there's also a competing draft on the same topic at Draft:R8 (album). -- Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 22:21, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment Given that this article was created in block evasion, and given that there is already a competing draft (which looks a lot better than this one anyway), I say we just delete it and move on, no need to keep. We should probably look at blocking several obvious sock editors on this article though. -War wizard90 (talk) 00:33, 7 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment. Well obviously the first order of the day is to file one or two SPIs, if that hasn't been done already. Then after they are closed can figure out what to do with the competing drafts. No one is going to find the AfD to !vote on this further now that the title is a redlink. Softlavender (talk) 02:48, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
