Thirty Seconds to Mars fifth studio album

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:HAMMER. Sources largely mention the album in passing at best. Too little verifiable info yet. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 17:15, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect per failing WP:HAMMER. (No name, seemingly no track list yet, etc.) Spin out once it passes HAMMER. (The coverage that will ensue from the announcement of its name and tracklist will almost certainly be enough to pass the WP:GNG with an album of this caliber.)

 * Redirect to Thirty Seconds to Mars per WP:HAMMER - this stops another user recreating the article (which delete and drafting won't), then when the album is released, we can restore the content at that point as it'll be preserved in the history.

 * Delete. Redundant as already covered to the same level in the band article. --Michig (talk) 10:09, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
 * The problem with that is that since this is an eagerly awaited album already covered in sources, the odds are that somebody will think "hey, that article about new album's disappeared? Where's it gone?" and recreate it again. That just means either we have to G4 it (and potentially salt) or negotiate a history merge when the album is finally released. That sounds like a lot of work. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  10:21, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
 * We can easily protect it after deletion if that's really a concern. --Michig (talk) 10:53, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I mean, usually any time something is a viable search term, we prefer to redirect. The title certainly seems like a plausible thing for someone to search for... Sergecross73   msg me  14:44, 24 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Redirect per WP:HAMMER. No release date, title, and track list; we should wait more verifiable information before creating an article about the album.--Earthh (talk) 11:27, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect: Way too early for an article yet. I think it's better to redirect for now until we know the name of the album and more importantly get the coverage from reviewers and see how it does well on charts. ULTRA-DARKNESS  :) 2 CHAT  18:36, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
