Untitled album - fail WP:N for verification  CASSIOPEIA(talk) 15:40, 9 June 2018 (UTC) * Comment - For those who vote keep - those comment are backed without based on any Wikipedia policy/guidelines. If an unamed event/album on working state white white board state some "working names" are considered acceptable, then millions of unknown event / title would be permissible in Wikipedia. WP:TOOSOON.

 * Keep. Album will be out in less than a week, following the release of Kids See Ghosts. The album will be titled within the week as more information comes in (as seen with the release of Daytona too). Deleting this page would just mean recreating it maybe the next day.

 * Keep. The album will be out in less than a week, and it will surely receive a title in that time. No reason to go through the hassle of deleting it just to recreate it. Nohomersryan (talk) 19:48, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Passes WP:V and GNG. If anything, this would be redirect to Nas sans deletion, and when the title comes undo the blanking. cinco deL3X1 ◊distænt write◊  21:48, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
 * And as the nom is based around getting WP:V from WP:N, then the "not base don policy" argument in invalid as well, I cited GNG, and just re googled it. cinco deL3X1 ◊distænt write◊  01:20, 12 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment (Undecided for now) - As of today, 9 June, the most recent news articles on this album that I can find are from 22/23 April and those said the album would be released on 15 June. But that is six days from now and iTunes, Amazon Music, and Spotify do not have listings for this album as a "coming soon" item. It is time to doubt the accuracy of the release date. It is suspicious to not even have a title at this point, and a supposed blockbuster album like this has not been mentioned in the press for the past five weeks before its supposed release date. The nominator has a good point here and I would suggest deleting or redirecting the article if things don't come together in the next few days. --- <b style="color: DarkOrchid"> DOOMSDAYER 520</b> (Talk&#124;Contribs) 00:02, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
 * It isn't really in question, imo. This album is part of a series of releases that began with Daytona, Ye, and Kids See Ghosts, with one album being released each week up to this point. All of the albums have been "surprise dropped", i.e. no set-in-stone tracklist/art before release, and Daytona and Ye did not get titles before very close to release either. You can debate whether it was necessary to make a page (I wouldn't have) but killing it off with less than a week to go strikes me as a bit pointless. Nohomersryan (talk) 03:52, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Draftify . There is something in the news about an upcoming Nas album but per WP:NOTFUTURE, subjects "pre-assigned to future events or discoveries are not suitable article topics if only generic information is known". Since the album is supposedly scheduled for release in the coming week, I don't see why it shouldn't be draftified and later moved to the proper title. <u style="text-decoration:none;font:1.1em/1em Arial Black;letter-spacing:-0.09em"><u style="color:#7f2ed1">The editor <u style="color:#bfa6d8"> whose username is <u style="color:#7f2ed1">Z0 15:03, 11 June 2018 (UTC) - Edit: Keep - has been released now.

 * Keep. The album will surely be out in a few days going off of the track record of the GOOD Summer releases so far (Daytona, Ye, Kids See Ghosts). No real purpose of deleting it this close to the release as mentioned above. Ninjinian (talk) 21:53, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment - The article has already received 20,000 page views. It's obvious that readers are visiting this page from other West-related articles and looking for information. At this point, I think we should be pushing for a Speedy keep now. Nice4What (talk) 01:22, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
 * The album has received a title (Nasir) and is set to be streamed tonight. I think this AFD can be declared done now. Nohomersryan (talk) 23:04, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Just let the article snowball... --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 01:09, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Album has been commercially released with confirmed date and producer and album artwork. WereWolf (talk) 11:47, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
