Songs of Experience (U2 album)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Album has not been released nor does it have a confirmed release date. It is in progress with very little news and is nearly a year away from released (based on the latest comments from the band and their photographer). U2 is also notorious for talking about in progress albums and not completing them on time, so this seems to be WP:CRYSTAL. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk &bull; contributions) 02:04, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect to U2. Right now there isn't entirely enough out there to justify an album. There are announcements that it will release, but not really much else. What has been said is pretty well covered in the main article, so I think that for now this can redirect there. When more information comes out (track listings, confirmation of recording, etc) we can always restore this and flesh out the article. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  06:21, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Shoot, thought that was the same album title. Still, we could probably rationalize a very brief one sentence line in this section. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  05:47, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete The number of times that the band provided incorrect information about their previous album should be enough to dissuade any writer from publishing nonsense like this. This is not a reliable source. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:42, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. Pretty clear WP:CRYSTAL case. Latest supposed release date is nearly a year away. Who knows, perhaps they will eventually release another album, and perhaps it will be under this name--anything is possible. Even assuming all that, I don't see that there is anything particularly useful about it in the U2 article that we should be sending readers to it. Yes, I know they are an established band and all that, but WP:NOTPROMOTION, WP:NOTADVERTISING. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 20:15, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, and there is no deadline to create this article. If and when the album is released, we can recreate this properly. Vanamonde93 (talk) 06:29, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
