PROD was contested, opening up AFD. With no press release or officially released information, all details are speculative. While it's possible for an album article to be created before its release, the claims on Turbulences are not verifiable. The entire article is being sourced from an alleged setlist posted on a user-generated wiki-style website. Both WP:CRYSTAL and WP:HAMMER apply. Fezmar9 (talk) 15:59, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If details about the secret shows and the setlist are removed, you're essentially left with the same information that's at Rise Against#Turbulences (2010–present). Why have a separate article for this? Fezmar9 (talk) 18:00, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Because then it would be a stub from which verifiable information could be added as more info about the album is released. Angryapathy (talk) 18:30, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
True, but in my experiences, unless someone is willing to take the time to re-write an article down the road, pages created in this fashion end up as dumping grounds for speculation and minor announcements. The track listing being based on an alleged set list is a prime example. It's best to wait until there is something genuinely concrete to say about the album before it's deserving of it's own article. Generally for upcoming albums, Wikipedia likes to wait until either the title, release date and full track listing have all been officially confirmed, OR one could document the writing and recording in a well-structured multi-paragraph article, such as this revision of In Rainbows created about ten months before its release.
