As I said in my redirect edit, "One Instagram post from the artist with zero reliable coverage for the album itself (I'm not convinced coverage for the singles is enough here since the album is a footnote in those articles)." Even a few hours into the next day, there still has been no new coverage of this announcement. Even Billboard, which had an article about Max just a month ago which is included here, have not published anything about this album announcement. I do not see notability here at this time, still believe the article is premature, and that a redirect to the artist's page is still the best option until more coverage comes along.

It shouldn't be deleted, it's not consistent with practice for other articles. I guarantee you if Taylor Swift announced a new studio album and all we had was posts from her on social media and no news coverage, that there wouldn't be a deletion discussion. While she certainly is no Taylor Swift, Ava has BILLIONS of streams, hundreds of millions of YouTube views, won MTV & iHeart awards, topped charts in 20 countries, certified albums platinum, etc which qualify her as a major pop artist in several countries. An artist's official announcement (with reposts by the official record label) is enough info. There really are no MAJOR pop music magazines, websites, that the general public is aware of. Not everything is a news article, like many, many other articles on Wikipedia, this refers to a specific niche which has attracted notability within a certain group, in this case the European music industry. And you have to be aware that the announcement was made yesterday afternoon. 216.106.93.194 (talk) 15:33, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That does not make this album notable. Also, see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS λ NegativeMP1 16:40, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. No significant coverage in reliable sources, and therefore not notable. Likely a case of too soon if anything. λ NegativeMP1 16:40, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Has some released music and has multiple reliable sources discussing the teasers for the upcoming album. TOOSOON is an essay that calls attention to there being a problem with there not being enough reliable sources to talk about a thing yet, but two reliable sources talking about the album are in the article, which is well-cited. It seems fine to me. Mrfoogles (talk) 17:30, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As the nomination states, there is no significant coverage in reliable sources for this album. It's just an instagram post, and the billboard article that does not mention the album is literally about the artist trolling which makes the instagram post seem even less reliable.

Did you read the cited articles? No mention of upcoming album in the billboard article. RollingStone and Uproxx just mention teases of a new album and there is no significant coverage in either. Anonrfjwhuikdzz (talk) 21:50, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or redirect back to Ava Max — it fails WP:FUTUREALBUM I think? Limmidy (talk) 02:33, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: This article, namely the album is already notable, and the other medias must be going to publish about this album soon. No reaso to be deleted like this, and also many users may not recognize this fact:

Please note that the failure to meet any of these criteria does not mean an article must be deleted;
