[edit] Kush (album)

Kush (album) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Delete - prod removed by anon with no explanation. Fails WP:CRYSTAL and WP:V. The article is "sourced" by a thread on a message board and a sentence or two out of an online interview that states that the artist is thinking about using this as the album title. Otto4711 19:54, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete for now without prejudice to recreating the article once the CD comes out, unless someone can find information which states when it has been announced to come out. Artist is a member of a prominent hip hop/rap group.--Ispy1981 20:06, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment I have added official promotional poster and cites courtesy of artist's MySpace page. Please let me know if this is sufficient. MrBlondNYC 00:41, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
  • But does the promo poster with the record label's logo on it at least prove the existence of the album? MrBlondNYC 02:42, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, because there seems to be pretty widespread interest among readers for information on albums. --164.107.222.23 02:56, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
    The interest level of readers is not a determining factor in whether or not an article should be kept or deleted on wikipedia.--Crossmr 02:59, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep In response to Geniac's concerns, I understand what you're saying but it's not quite the same thing. According to AllMusic, Havoc does indeed have an upcoming single titled "I'm the Boss" for Nature Sounds (catalogue # NSD):[1] So it's not like he just slapped the record company name on a picture of himself. It does appear to be an official promo. But ignoring the info from MySpace, I believe the MTV link provided in the article plus, the AllMusic link I provided is sufficient enough proof that Havoc indeed has an upcoming album tenatively titled "Kush" with the first single being "I'm the Boss".MrBlondNYC 02:04, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
  • The allmusic link does not give an album name. It may or may not be sufficient to establish the notability of the single, but it in no way serves to establish the notability or even the existence of the album. And again, the MTV link is not about an album. It is an interview in which the name "Kush" is mentioned in passing as a possible album title. Otto4711 04:10, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Mailer Diablo 16:39, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - for now. An assemblage of rumours and speculation do not form the basis for a reliably sourced article. -- Whpq 17:23, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
