Upcoming hip hop albums

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Wikipedia is not a crystall ball plain and simple. Category:Upcoming albums serves this purpose and even if an album was verified to come out, it should simply stay in its own page and not an "upcoming" article list. Spellcast 09:53, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom's statement. Wikipedia is not a collection of unverifiable speculation. -- S iva1979 Talk to me 11:04, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep. I think it should be kept because i will make sure all the albums are sourced and i will take care of all the formatting.All the albums in the list are coming out within the period of a year and this page helps out people who are only interested in finding what hip hop albums are coming out soon,not every possible album coming out between now and next year. - Real Compton G 16:07, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete WP shouldn't be for this sort of article. Lugnuts 16:49, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. There's no potential for encyclopedic info here. The category should be sufficient. Ichibani  utc 18:00, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Any upcoming album list is an advertisement, plain and simple.  All should be deleted. StudierMalMarburg 19:46, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOT - "an article on a radio station generally should not list upcoming events" can be expanded to apply here. Corpx 20:07, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Just as Wikipedia is not a game guide, it is not a music guide either.  When the album is released we can document it then using reliable sources.  (jarbarf) 03:21, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, not good for a list. Punkmorten 08:10, 14 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment-This article could be good for listing just Hip hop albums and couild be expanded however I see that Category:Upcoming albums also serves this purpose. --The-G-Unit-Boss 21:20, 15 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep - i think this would help lots of people who love hip hop (knowing when these albums are coming out), it needs some references. --bay area thrasher 23:25, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - Read WP:USEFUL; although it might be helpful it's not appropriate for an encyclopedia. Ichibani utc 02:49, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
