Fails WP:MUSIC, WP:CRYSTAL, in short WP:HAMMER: No verifiable information, and nothing for a long time that can't be kept in the band article. PROD declined Amalthea Talk 13:57, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, per The Hammer.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 14:09, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. As above. Unreleased, unreferenced, crystal album articles should be speedy-able too! Nouse4aname (talk) 14:16, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete per all above. Darrenhusted (talk) 15:38, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:HAMMER, why do we go through this every freaking day? Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 17:15, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete--whoa, rookie-alert: I didn't know the Hammer had his own policy. No wonder I love agreeing with him--I'm sucking up to the man. Can't wait for the album, though. Drmies (talk) 18:21, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom and above. I'd say it might be snowing.  Cliff smith  talk  20:02, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * STOP…Hammertime! — pretty much per above. MuZemike  ( talk ) 21:38, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep The subject has at least some media coverage, and it could be expanded upon on release. Too bad the author mistitled the article. - Mgm|(talk) 00:28, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Should be merged into Beastie Boys discography which is missing this information. - Mgm|(talk) 01:30, 29 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Once there is coverage it can be recreated, but I find no reliable sources backing anything in the article (as it was when nominated). In particular, the one reference it has now, an article from 23 October, says it's a "yet-to-be titled" album. -- Amalthea Talk 20:18, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Exactly. I added that reference, but it is pretty much all I could find that had any substantial reference to the album. As stated, it is untitled, has no definite release date, and no further information except that they are "currently recording it". Pages like this just become magnets for random snippets of information that are rarely sourced. Delete it now, recreate it when it can become a good article.
