Seventh studio album (Xzibit album)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

WP:NOT for crystal balling. XZibit will probably make a new album. That's all we know now. It hasn't got a title, a tracklist, a release date, names of collaborators or producers (even though it has according to the infobox supposedly been recorded in 2007-2008 already), ... All there is, are some vague plans which can be summed up in one line in the XZibit article, but don't need a separate article. Fram (talk) 07:56, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. If the rapper himself doesn't know any details, there's no point in having an article. It would be speculation. Let's wait until the album is actually named before discussing this again. - Mgm|(talk) 10:09, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong delete All information would be speculation at the moment. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball  Mattie TK  11:12, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep It's been confirmed that Xzibit is indeed working on a new album even though no release date nor tracks were confirmed. A tag saying this is an upcoming album and details can change should be added in place of the deletion tag.Jeremy706 (talk) 21:27, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - That's understood. However, our notability guidelines specifically call for substantial coverage in independent reliable sources. Anything Xzibit, their label or management has to say about a new album does not move the subject into the relm of the notable. Please review the appropriate guideline (WP:NALBUMS) and the essay that we've essentially based that on (WP:HAMMER). Note especially 10# Hammer's bit about "If the name of a future album is not yet known, the album is very likely to see its page deleted from Wikipedia. Pages of this sort usually take the naming convention '[name of artist]'s [nth] studio album'." Once there is more confirmed information about the album (title, tracks, release date) or substantial coverage, the article may certainly be recreated. Until then, reliably sourced info can go in the band's article. Thanks. - SummerPhD (talk) 22:15, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: notability not established, as per WP:CRYSTAL. JamesBurns (talk) 03:04, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
