[edit] Lindsay Lohan's Third Album

Lindsay Lohan's Third Album (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

No title. No release date. Sourced primarily by gossip columns, with rumors of "so-and-so is working with Lindsay Lohan on her untitled, unscheduled, third album". This thing has been promised several times (and many of the sources are promises for dates that have come and gone). Not enough meat to build an article from, and a magnet for crystal ball violations. Kww (talk) 19:43, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. Belongs on her fan site; no secondary sources.Renee (talk) 19:59, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
• Delete as with all speculative articles about "x artists's nth studio album". caknuck _° is back from his wikisiesta 20:47, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
• Delete What a load of balls. These articles are all inherintly speculative and overzealous creations. Blood Red Sandman ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 20:48, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
• Delete Inherently speculative indeed. Singers in this genre tend to be the biggest rumor targets ever. Save it for the 8,000,000 fan sites (God, why?) for Lindsey. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 21:31, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
• Delete - Violation of WP:CRYSTAL. Check back when it hits the shelves. TN‑X-Man 22:05, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

• • Comment The problem with Dido's forthcoming album has been fixed. Kww (talk) 22:45, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

• Delete as there don't seem to be reliable sources that can verify this crystal ball gazing. Bfigura ^(talk) 00:04, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
• Weak keep but revisit in the fall if no release has been announced. The sources listed include Fox News, People Magazine, and the subject's own webpage. That's not exactly what I'd consider unreliable sources. Obviously there's a move afoot in Wikipedia to no longer accept official websites as legitimate (I still can't figure that out), so even if you discounted Lohan's page, the Fox and People sites can't be considered unreliable. However as announced albums do have a tendency to go vaporware or be rescheduled (examples: Laurie Anderson's new album was announced for 2008 but has been pushed back to 2009 and Enya reportedly was working on a new album for release at Christmas 2008 -- and this was announced in reputable news sources, I might add -- and it never happened), I do recommend that if no title or official release date is announced by the end of the summer, then this could be relisted. For now it does no harm to keep it here as the sources are sufficient to indicate this isn't a hoax and therefore there is no WP:BLP issue. 23skidoo (talk) 18:46, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

• Comment The first People source says, in it's entirety: Lindsay Lohan, who is already working on a new album with producer J.R. Rotem, gets warmed up for a recording session at a Los Angeles studio on Tuesday. The second source is about Bossy (Lindsay Lohan Song), which has its own article that isn't nominated. Fox News says: Yes, folks, it’s true: Lindsay Lohan is busy recording her third album. She’s left the auspices of Tommy Mottola and his non-starter revival of Casablanca Records, but stayed in the Universal Music Group family. Following in the hallowed footsteps of Mary Wells, the Supremes and Martha Reeves, not to mention more recently Erykah Badu, Lindsay is now on Motown. You’re snickering, but don’t: Motown once was called "The Sound of Young America." And La Lohan at 21 fits that bill. I am told that among her collaborators is Snoop Dogg, who has cut a track with Lindsay that insiders say sounds "amazing." UMG is sparing no expense on this recording, bringing in all the usual suspects like Timbaland and Pharrell to make a good record for the rehabbed and revived Lindsay. Note: No dates, tracklists, or anything meaningful. The small amount of information from those sources is already in the Lindsay Lohan article.Kww (talk) 19:05, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

• Delete per every single Wikipedia rule. SWik78 (talk • contribs) 17:37, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
• Keep It's got sources like someone said above CloversMallRat (talk) 21:21, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
• Merge the info onto Lindsay Lohan and delete the page. The sources are legitimate, but the album has too many flaky details that violate WP:CRYSTAL. There's no final tracklist or title or release date; all we have are people who are working on it. It doesn't merit its own page at this point. SKS2K6 (talk) 18:30, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
