The Singles Collection (Britney Spears album)
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article should be deleted because it has no sources. Not only that, but the article clearly states it is from a fansite, and it is a rumored album. No reason to have the article if it isn't confirmed. Not only that, but everyone you claims it is real, can not even back it up with a reliable source. ---Shadow (talk) 04:12, 21 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment it is a very popular rumour with thousands of google hits. Note that there is a singles collection for 2007 as well as this article on the possible 2009 album. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:04, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Doesn't change the fact that there is no source to back it up. ---Shadow (talk) 16:12, 21 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Question where is the first nomination? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:33, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. The 2nd nom is weird indeed. Hekerui (talk) 00:35, 22 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Question There are now reliable sources such as LiveJournal and even Sony BMG ITSELF confirming that it exists and will be released! So why do you delete those reliable and real sources and paste on the deletion nomination, claiming no-one has found a reliable source? Sorry, but last time I read WIKIPEDIA FOR DUMMIES, it stated that Sony BMG was a reliable source. The Rogue Leader (talk) 11:30, 23 July, 2009 (UTC)

P.S. Please don't be insulted, I wasn't calling you a dummy.
 * LiveJournal is not a reliable source, and the site you linked to (Britney Bash, which is also NOT a reliable source) claims they added it, yet the site doesn't even link as proof, nor do you. ---Shadow (talk) 02:18, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, makes sense. How about this: Continue with deletion plans, and if Sony BMG directly announces its release, a senior editor will re-add the page? The Rogue Leader (talk) 14:20, 23 July, 2009 (UTC)


 * That's what I'm pushing for. Unless a record label or Britney's website confirms it, there is no reason for this page to be here. ---Shadow (talk) 10:44, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * But even if it is not official, but reliable sources start to cover the rumour, then we could have an article on the rumour or notable hoax! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:11, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think there is need for a page on the rumour. On the Britney Spears page it could mention a 'Rumoured 2nd Greatest Hits Album' and also maybe on the Britney Spears discography page it could be mentioned at the intro saying something like this: "A rumour has spread that a 2nd greatest hits album will be released in October 2009". There is no harm in deleting it because there is no comfirmation, And like I said before the rumoured album could be mentioned on the Britney Spears page. If it turns out that it excisted, then we can just re-add it! Pages about upcoming albums such as A New Chapter (Rogue Traders album), Light & Darkness & Celebration (Madonna album) have all been confirmed. This hasn't. Like I've said before, there is no harm in deleting it. In fact, that'll resolve the argument and whatever the future holds, then there'll be no complication. If we keep the page, things WILL get complicated, confusing & nasty when Sony announces either that the rumours are true or that there going to kill the idiot who started the rumour.

 * Delete - as per above. As soon as the record label confirms it, it'll be an article with good legs to stand on! PanydThe muffin is not subtle 20:51, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, fails notability per WP:MUSIC. Even if it was released, it doesn't automatically make the album notable.   Esradekan Gibb    "Klat" 13:46, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - per WP:CRYSTAL, at list until officially confirmed. Rlendog (talk) 19:14, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. "The Singles Collection is a rumoured greatest hits album…" If that doesn't scream crystal balling, I don't know what does. —  Σ  xplicit 22:41, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
