LOL. It was a mouthful, but it was accurate. Since we do not have
WP:SIGCOV in those RSes, it doesn't meet GNG (but it may soon). The coverage is also quite
WP:ROUTINE.
We've had too many articles started with the premise that "the performer is notable, and has previous notable albums, so this one will be notable soon, so let's create the article". The key here is that it is not currently notable and we only create articles for subjects that are notable. Taking such an article to AfD is also a waste because no one will argue against having the article before it's actually released. The solution is to make it clear that we don't create articles for albums that will be notable soon.

Title track as single?
I'm a bit confused about the status of the title track as a promotional single rather than straight single. Several sources, including
Vulture,
Variety and
XXL have described it as a single, while
The Fader specifically describes it as the album's third single (I changed the song page to call it a single, but after seeing the notice on this article in the infobox I realised I had acted too hastily and should have referred to the talk page in the first and self-reverted). I know his site hasn't updated to describe it as a single, but it doesn't specifically say that it isn't a single.

DELETE "In Your Eyes" in sentence 2 of the article. 'In Your Eyes' was never released as a single for the album 'After Hours' by 'The Weeknd'.

@
AksAds: What are you talking about? In this
source, "In Your Eyes" will be released on March 24 as the album's third single. Pay close attention to the article first.

Collapse deluxe tracks
Should the template that lists the five deluxe tracks be collapsed by default? I say yes, since that is the standard for other album articles and having the remix tracks without being collapsed may confuse readers as to what actually constitutes the album.

@
Nice4What: That's just your opinion, if the album have a dozens of editions being listed it's probably be necessary but the album currently have one. I don't see the reason why hide the deluxe edition, two other editors
Ss112 and
Koavf would disagree with the collapse.

TheAmazingPeanuts, Yeah, sorry if that came across as combative. I think I got too distracted when I was writing and was terse. ―

Nice4What, Understandable if you've seen other albums with their track listings collapsed but in case you didn't see my ping below to a different user, this should not be the case. ―

Let's see. Pitchfork says it's a "collision of new wave, dream pop, and R&B", while Variety doesn't really say what it is, just that it's not the usual R&B stuff from The Weeknd, and it's not danceable. The Guardian says it's a varied mix, while Consequence of Sound agrees that it's eclectic and difficult to categorize. NME stays away from nailing down the genre, saying that the album is somewhere between his recent arena pop bangers and the old downtempo stuff. So I would not say it was
new wave,
dream pop and
R&B because Pitchfork said it was a "collision" of those, not those exactly, and the others don't support Pitchfork's conclusion. There is no consensus in the sources except for the majority saying it's hard to pin down the genre.

How should we handle and list the remixes present in the deluxe edition of the album and in the new After Hours (Remixes) EP? The remixes are set to be present on the physical edition of the deluxe edition of the album (with the bonus tracks set to not be included according to Universal Music Group) and there is still a version of the deluxe edition with 22 tracks available digitally. Also there is a new "Heartless" remix with Lil Uzi Vert that is non-vaporwave on the remix EP. Should we create four different listings with titles like: Original/physical deluxe, updated/complete deluxe, digital deluxe (without remixes), and After Hours (Remixes) - EP? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated because honestly the deluxe release was handled in a very messy manner. -

We can also create a section dedicated to the Remix EP at the bottom of the article like they did for the Black Panther soundtrack
here. -

Every album article of Wikipedia bases its critical reception consensus on Metacritic. The platform clearly states "generally favorable reviews" based on 20 reviews. TheAmazingPeanut claims After Hours received "critical acclaim" based on ONE source (Complex). For you to make a statement of that brevity, especially going against what Metacritic states, you need more than 1 source. Otherwise, this is misleading and false information. Completely ignoring Metacritic over one specific website like Complex (not even Billboard or RS or The Guardian) is cherry-picking.

That's great. I've removing the Complex source as it is useless space now.
