Transition (Chipmunk album)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The name isn't even confirmed, the first single hasn't even been released, there's no track listing and there's no confirmed release date. --  Lil_ ℧ niquℇ № 1  [talk]  04:13, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete Too soon. Things like this always look like advance promotion, placed to whip up enthusiasm among the fans (or readers as the case may be - this happens with books too). There may well be other articles in the same position. They should go too. Because they haven't been caught yet doesn't mean this one gets a life. When there's a release date, title and definite track list, that seems to be the generally accepted (by Wikipedians, not promotors...) earliest time for an article. Personally, I don't see why every record by every artist deserves an article. 'Tubular Bells' and 'Dark Side of the Moon' are examples of albums that are definitely notable both on artistic and sales grounds. There are many more - but not every Tom, Dick and Lil Twitch's record. Peridon (talk) 20:36, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Incidentally, when I went to click on this discussion's link. I was expecting to find an album by Alvin and Co being debated. I hope Chipmunk doesn't suffer from people who are also expecting small squeaky voices. Peridon (talk) 20:44, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Just discovered there really is a 'Lil Twitch'. The mind boggles... Peridon (talk) 19:44, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

The name of the album "Transition" has been confirmed on several interviews and articles. The album is officaly active since it is first single "Flying High" has been released and charted at 72 in 2010. 11:53, 8 January 2011. (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.70.137 (talk)
 * That doesn't make the article notable per WP:NALBUMS. --  Lil_ ℧ niquℇ № 1  [talk]  01:34, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Even if the single has been released, albums do not inherit notability from released singles. --  Lil_ ℧ niquℇ № 1  [talk]  02:04, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Merge/Redirect to the artist or Incubate. We know the title, we know it's due for release in early 2011, and we know some details about the album. There isn't really enough for an article yet, but there are better options here than deletion.--Michig (talk) 07:05, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Incubate per above. Tb hotch Talk and  C.  07:20, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
