I noticed this page while it was protected. Apparently it has been the subject of much edit warring. Anyway, the article claims to be about an unreleased album by Beyoncé. I actually don't doubt the claim, but the problem is, there doesn't appear to be a reliable source to verify it. It has good Google presence, but most of the sites are either references made on message boards or MP3 piracy and purchase sites, but not the sort that could be called reliable as sources of information or as retail outlets. Some of the hits are unrelated (e.g., references made to Beyonce and the site's writer speaking his or her mind). I tried to search a newspaper database and came up empty. All of that said, I believe this should be deleted. GassyGuy 01:00, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete for now as per the "Wikipedia is not a crystal ball" guideline. Also, I couldn't find anthing about the album on allmusic.--TBCΦtalk? 01:22, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, unless the information can be attributed (confirmed through the use of reliable, published sources - WP:ATT proposed core policy merger). -- saberwyn 01:47, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Not sure Possibly delete per WP:HOAX as burden of proof is on the editors of the article. i kan reed 01:56, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. If official details are released to verify that this artist is planning an album of this name, it can be recreated. Resolute 03:38, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Save if factual information can be verified. ZimmerBarnes 14:17, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete until album actually comes out, per WP:CRYSTAL, at which point an article can be created that actually contains correct information about the album. --tennisman ^{sign here!} 15:53, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment There seems to be some confusion. There's no claim that this album is ever being released. Rather, it's about a scrapped compilation album. Any information should already be sourceable, because it's unlikely that any new sources will appear now. GassyGuy 20:43, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Save Although there is confusion over this article the fact that it is well known throught the web should be just enough to keep this article. I suggest re-wording it. 134.241.194.110 19:46, 20 February 2007 (UTC) — 134.241.194.110 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
• Delete future gazing at a mere possibility of notability, and there are no possible facts at this time. --Bejnar 03:17, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
