Lindsay Lohan's Third Album

Lindsay Lohan's Third Album (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)

No title. No release date. Sourced primarily by gossip columns, with rumors of "so-and-so is working with Lindsay Lohan on her untitled, unscheduled, third album". This thing has been promised several times (and many of the sources are promises for dates that have come and gone). Not enough meat to build an article from, and a magnet for crystal ball violations. Kww (talk) 19:43, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  balls. These articles are all inherintly speculative and overzealous creations. Blood Red Sandman ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 20:48, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply

• Delete Inherently speculative indeed. Singers in this genre tend to be the biggest rumor targets ever. Save it for the 8,000,000 fan sites (God, why?) for Lindsey. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 21:31, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as there don't seem to be reliable sources that can verify this

• Weak keep but revisit in the fall if no release has been announced. The sources listed include Fox News, People Magazine, and the subject's own webpage. That's not exactly what I'd consider unreliable sources. Obviously there's a move afoot in Wikipedia to no longer accept official websites as legitimate (I still can't figure that out), so even if you discounted Lohan's page, the Fox and People sites can't be considered unreliable. However as announced albums do have a tendency to go vaporware or be rescheduled (examples:

• Comment The first People source says, in it's entirety: Lindsay Lohan, who is already working on a new album with producer J.R. Rotem, gets warmed up for a recording session at a Los Angeles studio on Tuesday. The second source is about
  Bossy (Lindsay Lohan Song), which has its own article that isn't nominated. Fox News says: Yes, folks, it’s true: Lindsay Lohan is busy recording her third album. She’s left the auspices of Tommy Mottola and his non-starter revival of Casablanca Records, but stayed in the Universal Music Group family. Following in the hallowed footsteps of Mary Wells, the Supremes and Martha Reeves, not to mention more recently Erykah Badu, Lindsay is now on Motown. You’re snickering, but don’t: Motown once was called "The Sound of Young America." And La Lohan at 21 fits that bill. I am told that among her collaborators is Snoop Dogg, who has cut a track with Lindsay that insiders say sounds "amazing." UMG is sparing no expense on this recording, bringing in all the usual suspects like Timbaland and Pharrell to make a good record for the rehabbed and revived Lindsay. Note: No dates, tracklists, or anything meaningful. The small amount of information from those sources is already in the Lindsay Lohan article.Kww (talk) 19:05, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply

• Keep It's got sources like someone said above CloversMallRat (talk) 21:21, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge the info onto
  WP:CRYSTAL. There's no final tracklist or title or release date; all we have are people who are working on it. It doesn't merit its own page at this point. SKS2K6 (talk) 18:30, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply
