Per WP:CRYSTAL and WP:HAMMER there is not yet enough confirmed info on this album. This could have been a simple PROD but based on experience with "upcoming" albums in this genre, I bet it would be removed without comment. Also, the fact that the singles already have lives of their own is irrelevant when the album is not yet a reality. DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 16:54, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating Stadium Music (album) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) because it appears to refer to the same album under a different title. Astronaut (talk) 23:40, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good job, I didn't notice that near-duplicate article. The fact that they both exist might just indicate that any information about the new Akon album is unclear and unconfirmed. --DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 02:48, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom: There is not enough verified information about this unreleased album to justfy a stand-alone article. This should probably be covered at the artist's article until the title, track listing and release date have all been confirmed. See also Stadium Music (album). The two references at that article have different names for the artist's upcoming album: this MTV story from March 19 says it's titled Stadium, but this Singersroom story from March 20 says it's titled "Stadium Music".

• Delete - Way too soon for an album not released for many months. Also added Stadium Music (album) to this discussion. Astronaut (talk) 23:40, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, Akon himself announced release of this album in the end of 2010. --Saki ^talk 08:34, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • The guideline on music notability says: "generally, 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." Cliff smith ^talk 18:11, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete them both... I've removed a lot of unsourced info from at least one of these articles, but there really is not much left to warrant an article. - eo (talk) 12:45, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete both as article fails notability criteria for albums. TenPoundHammer's Law can be applied too, as there is not a single reliable source for the title, the tracklist and the release date. (Not against userfying before delete.) Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 17:57, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
