The result was Redirect to Royce da 5'9". There have been many recent (Feb/March 2018) album/song AfDs in which the nominators were advised to save everyone's time with a bold redirect to the artist's page. User:Sergecross73 has convinced me that I should have done that myself instead of nominating the AfD. (non-admin closure) ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 14:23, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Book of Ryan

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Album has been "coming soon" for at least two years. Recent user-generated chatter has the album being released in May 2018 but I can find no reliable sources for a true release date. WP:HAMMER and WP:TOOSOON apply. If the album is ever released, someone could easily create an article better than this one. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 20:40, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect for now. A number of reliable sources have reported on it, but they're mostly all echoing the same thing that an original source had said, which is basically that its the name of an upcoming album Royce da 5'9" is working on, and it's going to be a "personal" album. That's...it. It's a viable search term, and likely to be notable if/when he ever releases it considering popularity of his other work, but as is, it should really just be a sentence or two in Royce's own article.
