Sorry I'm Late (Cher Lloyd album)

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

Album fails per WP:ALBUMS and its notability guidelines. Album has no long-standing sources that can provide its notability to stand for an article right now. No official release date, no official tracklist, no chart history and no album cover are found for the album. In fact, it's still in the process of being recorded for a possible 2014 release, following a possible 2013 release. Cher Lloyd is not notable enough alone to have the article be in use. Tracklist on the page is fake, and completely false. The album's lead single "I Wish" has failed to make any major impact on U.S. and/or UK radio or charts, with an official UK release not even set in stone. Album's page should not be created and/or un-redirected until more reliable sources and notability can be found on it. The album is in no condition to have its own album page at this time. livelikemusic ^{my talk page!} 15:29, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete; replace with redirect to Cher Lloyd. The only salvageable bit of the article is Lloyd's disclosure of the album title to Billboard, and that's already covered in the main article on Lloyd. Much of the rest of the history of the article is speculation on the tracklist. All of that is premature; Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. So, while the article history is not useful, the redirect is; that's why I say to replace the redirect after deletion, but the redirect should not be expanded to an article until the album clearly meets the notability requirements. —C.Fred (talk) 16:35, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

But can't we just use what the redirects say to add into that page? --218.186.153.21 (talk) (User:Nahnah4) (talk • contribs)

Okay, Liveikemusic. Listen. If you go back to the page, you will see someone that brought back the page. It's Not Me! I know, I am Nahnah4 but I can't login to Wikipedia for some apparent reason via this computer, but you say the track listing is fake. Sure. To make you happy, that person deleted the whole track listing. Another page, Cheek to Cheek (album), the album cover is definitely fake. Why don't you nominate that page for deletion too? Then again, another page, Stampede of the Disco Elephants, has no definite release date, no album cover too. Why don't you ALSO nominate that page for deletion too? Please. I understand that it failed to uphold the rules of WP:ALBUMS, but, as what Livelikemusic has said, it has no chart history. However, the album is not even released so how can it even have chart history? Ok, let's make a deal. When the album is near the release date, we will then bring the page back, then insert the cover, release date and track listing. Ok. Is it ok? I mean, why do you want to delete that page for? The album, we already know, the name, and it is going to be released in 2014. Then, if the page is nearer to the release date, we will then put in all the stuff, and whatever. But as you say about the lead single I Wish, I don't get you. This is about Sorry I'm late. It is an album. Why are you talking about the lead single for? It seems like you are the only Wikipedian who ever edited that page to care about all this stuff. The others seems like they just write, add in stuff with sources,then it will be as complete as good articles! Thanks.--218.186.153.21 (talk) (User:Nahnah4) (talk • contribs) —Preceding undated comment added 07:47, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Other stuff exists. Whether or not other similar articles exist is not relevant to the discussion of whether this article should be kept or deleted; this discussion needs to focus on the merits, or lack thereof, of this article. —C.Fred (talk) 15:38, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Cher Lloyd#2013: Sorry I'm Late. Fails WP:NALBUMS at this time. If it goes on to become notable, then of course it can be recreated. But in general, album articles like this, with so few reliable sources and very little information about the actual album, should be deleted or redirected. @Nahnah4: this discussion is about the Cher Lloyd album Sorry I'm Late, and other articles do not come into it, so the fact that other similar articles exist is not relevant to this discussion. –anemone projectors– 14:15, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
