 * Delete WP:CRYSTAL. Even their sources say that they don't know when an actual album may come out or what it will look like.Kww (talk) 12:55, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment well I can tell them that - it'll look like a 120mm plastic-coated aluminium disc ;-) -- JediLofty Talk to meFollow me 13:01, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Unless they do something like in Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music and release 25 LPs. MuZemike (talk) 13:31, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete — Having been a big Smashing Pumpkins fan for the past 15 years, I'm afraid, however, that this pumpkin needs to be smashed :-) with a crystal hammer. MuZemike (talk) 13:31, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

 * comment WP:HAMMER is a wikipedia essay, as such an article cannot fail it. essays are the opinions of editors, they are not wikipedia policies. Jessi1989 (talk) 14:36, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 'Delete No sources, WP:HAMMER, etc. I'm fully aware that WP:HAMMER is not policy (heck, I wrote it), but come on, we know nothing about this album yet, just rumors. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 17:02, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * hi sorry, i wasn't inferring that this article should be kept, just that nominators shouldn't really be saying that an article fails an essay. i think afd discussion should really stick to policies and guidelines. xxx Jessi1989 (talk) 17:49, 5 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Smash this with the aformentioned WP:HAMMER. No title, no track list, no release date: pure speculation.  Cliff smith  talk  17:45, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Despite all my rage this is still just a crystal in a cage. Delete JuJube (talk) 23:50, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
