User:TenPoundHammer/TenPoundHammer's Law

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page in a nutshell: Don't create a page on an upcoming album if you don't know what the album will be called.

TenPoundHammer's Law: If the name of a future album is not yet known, the album is very likely to see its page deleted from Wikipedia. In other words, any page that takes the form "[name of artist]'s [nth] studio album" or such will most likely end up gone. There are occasional exceptions to this law, as sometimes a future album will contain enough verifiable information for a decent article even if the title is not known. But if all you can do is look into a crystal ball or base your information off rumors posted to message boards, then it's best not to create a page on the album until it's released (or within a couple weeks of release).
