Spirit in the Dark (Lindsay Lohan album)

Unreleased albums are generally not notable. No reliable sources. SummerPhD (talk) 19:38, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

But there definately was a planning to release this album, and all songs were really considered as real, and it's nice to know about it. RuuBjAh (talk) 21:28, 30 November, 2009

 * No position yet but unreleased albums can be notable if they meet WP:GNG. This happens a lot with famous albums by famous musicians.  I'm sure the posthumous album by Michael Jackson met notability requirements pretty much from the day it was announced.  davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  22:01, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Yes, unreleased albums can be notable, but they generally are not, per WP:MUSIC. This one, however, does not have significant coverage in independent reliable sources. At the moment, it has coverage in two blogs. I might be "nice to know about", but without reliable sources, we don't know anything. - SummerPhD (talk) 22:33, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. As WP:NALBUMS states, "Generally, 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." As far as I can tell, no such confirmations exist at this time (with the title being perhaps an exception). While some sources exist which touch on the rumors/possibilities of the album, I'm not convinced there's enough in-depth coverage to come close to approaching the Chinese Democracy exception cited in WP:NALBUMS.

 * Delete, it's obvious by now that an album by this title is not going to happen. And I did a thorough survey of available sourcing re: this album before removing the bulk of the material from Lindsay Lohan, to where a previous incarnation of this article had been merged. A few songs were confirmed as having been written for the album, and a few producers had confirmed they had been or were going to work with Lohan. Maybe enough material for a sentence or three, but nowhere near the significant coverage from multiple sources required by the GNG. See also previous merge/redirect discussion from January 09 at Talk:Lindsay Lohan's third album. Nothing new of substance or any new sources have really surfaced since then.

 * Delete - no reliable sources to prove notability. Bravedog (talk) 00:49, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete unless evidence of “notability” is produced. (Draft could be kept in userspace or on some localhost of interested editor(s) until album develops “notability”.) — SlamDiego  &#8592;T 16:48, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: Just for reference, a better sourced "draft" version can be found in the history of Lindsay Lohan's third album, ie . Siawase (talk) 21:16, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
