Scorpion (Drake album)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Way too soon. Although the page will eventually need to be created in the future, we know nothing about the album other than the name and its executive producer. I think it's best to just leave it as a redirect to Drake discography for the time being, until we are able to get more information on the album.  BAP reme  ( T / C ) 22:34, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Redirect - album fails WP:NALBUM, no significant coverage beyond its announcement. Hayman30 (talk) 04:59, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The nomination, and this stance, is a massive failure of WP:BEFORE. Sergecross73   msg me  13:30, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep - Someone was pretty lazy with the article creation, but the deletion nomination is equally lazy. It's already plenty of coverage in reliable sources. Don't waste time and effort fighting a redirect with this, focus expanding the article.

 * Keep – Drake is a very well known artist and this album is significant even before it comes out. JE98 (talk) 16:36, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep I was leaning towards delete, but Sergecross73's evidence is enough to keep the article. Also the album is coming in June. The article is quite messy and void of content but nothing that can't be fixed by someone willing to work on it.  → Call me  Razr Nation 06:27, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
