Jessie J's upcoming studio album

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

WP:HAMMER applies. No confirmed track list and no release date means that we have articles only under exceptional circumstances, and I can't see that any exceptional circumstances apply. For those that protest "but it's only an essay", this guidance has been incorporated in ~~WP:NSONGS~~WP:NALBUMS as well. —Kww(talk) 00:16, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. It is only an essay and it hasn't been incorporated in WP:NSONGS, which wouldn't apply here anyway as this is an article about an album. It looks like this album will probably be released early in 2013, and there is already quite a bit of coverage, but with no confirmed tracks for the album it's possible that anything recorded so far might not make it onto the album. I think the best approach here would be to merge anything verifiable and particularly relevant to the Jessie J article, and incubate this article so that it can be worked on until we have some more certainty about the album itself. --Michig (talk) 07:57, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I should go review before I make comments like that. It's there, but covered under WP:NALBUMS, which makes more sense than where it used to be: "an album should not have an independent article until its title, track listing and release date have all been publicly confirmed by the artist or their record label".—Kww(talk) 14:47, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

prefixed by "Generally". It also states "In a few special cases, an unreleased album may qualify for an article if there is sufficient verifiable and properly referenced information about it." I wouldn't suggest that the latter applies here, but it may well do at some point before we have a full tracklisting and confirmed release date, which is why I would favour incubation so that editors can continuing building it up until it's ready. --Michig (talk) 14:55, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Incubate. Album articles like this one are a bit tricky because I agree with Kww that WP:HAMMER applies, but there is also significant coverage for the upcoming release in multiple reliable sources, thereby satisfying WP:GNG. On the other (other) hand, this article doesn't appear to be one of the "few special cases" exceptions (a la Chinese Democracy) described in WP:NALBUMS. So with that in mind, incubation seems reasonable. Gongshow ^Talk 02:59, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
