The Cookbook
This page and all of its redirects. It smells like some kind of advert, and is clearly not notable in any way: the album has not even been released yet! Falcon 05:07, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I retract my nomination, as the album seems to exist and the article has been cleaned up. I vote keep.  Falcon 18:35, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep - I just made those redirects to prevent confusion with the cookbook article (I didn't create the actual album article itself). And an album that hasn't been released yet does NOT mean it's not notable!!! Have a look on other albums' articles which haven't been released yet, like Hypnotize by System of a Down, to be released in more than 3 months time!!! How are they "adverts"? Actually this album has already been leaked to the Internet already, next time at least use a search engine to search for it to see if anyone else think's it's notable or not. secfan 05:09, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Ummm..now Wikimedia has a lot of server power to spare these days meaning the search results pages are back which makes finding obscure articles easily. I don't think all those redirects would help much. --Krystyn Dominik 06:10, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * The search feature doesn't work all of the time, and try searching "cookbook", you won't find the album there at all... that's why I also had to put a disambiguation link on the top of the Cookbook article itself. secfan 06:21, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirects like that are very helpful, apart from searches they also aid linking. Anyway redirects are deleted automatically when a page is, you don't need to mention them in the nomination. Kappa 09:20, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Bitch Slap (..delete) - Not encyclopedic. --24.186.249.15 05:12, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * How can it be not encyclopedic, it's just a description of what the album is... and it's just a stub anyway... secfan 05:14, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - It is officially the upcoming album (official name and release date are confirmed by Amazon.com) of a popular American hip hip musician, Missy Elliott. The song "Lose Control" is being played a lot in radio and television stations. There are gazillions of music albums articles in Wikipedia. This should be included in Wikipedia. Strong keep vote from me. --Krystyn Dominik 06:03, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep 64.12.116.137 06:06, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. Albums do seem to get a fair bit of coverage by Wikipedia, and if we have an article for the upcoming Spider-Man 3, why not an upcoming album?  CanadianCaesar 08:53, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep No cheesier than Amici Forever Wikipedia is full of this stuff. --Wetman 08:59, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep notable and verifiable, if possibly cheesy, album. Kappa 09:20, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - just be thankful that we don't yet allow every song to be its own article. -Eisnel 10:00, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep; perfectly legitimate contribution if a little dull. james gibbon  13:43, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. Notable album by notable artist. Capitalistroadster 16:03, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep notable album. DS1953 18:33, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep the record comes out week-after-next, and the lead single hit the Top 40 already (although I am a little peeved that there's only two Timbaland-produced tracks on the LP). --FuriousFreddy 19:06, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep for obvious reasons. Silly deletion nomination. Volatile 29 June 2005 03:28 (UTC)
 * Super Keep! Many albums are listed before release! Super Orange! 4 July 2005 02:13 (UTC)
