18 Months (album)18 Months – I moved the page to this title, but someone reverted it just because of the stupid rule on my talk page. I did the right thing, and I am angry because of this user!!! Please revert that move. Thank you! Bob Mono (talk) 16:09, 31 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose. 18 Months is very general title and I guess there is something called 18 Months (book, song, even album) that has no article on Wikipedia. I think that (album) is needed. — Tomica (talk) 17:33, 31 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • Support See WP:PRECISE. A "guess" that there's "something" else with the same name is a poor reason for adding unnecessary disambiguation. Unless and until another notable topic with the same name is created, this move is entirely appropriate. --BDD (talk) 17:55, 31 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • Support only article with this name. Unreal7 (talk) 23:27, 31 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • Support, at the moment this is the only article of this name. The target article 18 Months redirects to Calvin Harris anyway. So it makes sense. — Lil_niquℇ 1 [talk] 22:55, 1 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose. "18 months" is such a commonly used time reference that it does not fit the title of any article not about the time period. 18 months should be converted to a disambiguation page. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:05, 2 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • Yes, what else would you put on that page? 18? Month? Come on. --BDD (talk) 15:46, 2 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • You can't oppose something being without brackets if there's nothing else with the same name. Unreal7 (talk) 10:31, 4 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • Support - no other notable subject is titled "18 months". If there is a title loosely related, {{about}}. —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 13:44, 4 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Deleted edit

And why was it deleted this time? -.- -- $pongeP@ppy (talk) 22:10, 1 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

It was not deleted. It was redirected to Calvin Harris. Per WP:NMUSIC it says An album requires its own notability, and that notability is not inherited and requires independent evidence. That an album is an officially released recording by a notable musician or ensemble is not by itself reason for a standalone article. Conversely, an album does not need to be by a notable artist to require a standalone article if it meets the General notability guideline. Album articles with little more than a track listing may be more appropriately merged into the artist's main article or discography article, space permitting.. This album has nothing but a date and title. all the singles (bar maybe one) have their own page. Therefore the album does not yet qualify for a seperate page. — Lil_niquℇ 1 [talk] 22:57, 1 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
What do you mean with "nothing but a date and title"? It had over more than 10 confirmed tracks. -- $pongeP@ppy (talk) 23:01, 1 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
The "confirmed" ten songs are not confirmed. The only one's 100% confirmed are the five singles. A whole page is not required to say that there are five confirmed songs on the album. Equally even if there is ten confirmed tracks that still doesn't make an album notable. Can you not see where the guidelines say lbum articles with little more than a track listing may be more appropriately merged into the artist's main article or discography article? — Lil_niquℇ 1 [talk] 23:26, 1 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
Well, if 18 Months gets deleted, then why don't you delete this rubbish?... -.- -- $pongeP@ppy (talk) 14:36, 2 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
Take Me Home has lots of verified and useful information, including an album cover. 18 Months doesn't even have a track listing. We just know the names of five songs and then that there's a song featuring Rihanna. Just because your not a fan of One Direction doesn't mean you should be offensive towards them. — Lil_niquℇ 1 [talk] 14:41, 2 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
They've ruined everybody's life in my school... -.- There's still no point in deleting an article which is gonna be released next month, has 6 confirmed songs, and even the featured guest artists. -- $pongeP@ppy (talk) 14:44, 2 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
LOL at the shade for OneDirection. Its called redirecting not deleting. The page could be recreated once the album is complete. — Lil_niquℇ 1 [talk] 16:02, 2 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

release date edit

Having some clarification issues with this page, as the release date in the blurb of the article states it will be released by "Fly Eye Records on the 29th of October 2012" whilst the quick info panel states it will be released on the 26th of October. Which one is right, because this looks really unprofessional. Styk0n (talk) 11:44, 25 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Please add Italian Interlink (it:18 Months) Mixcraft (talk) 15:29, 27 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Done It appears the migration to Wikidata has not hit this page yet, so this is minor. —KuyaBriBriTalk 16:05, 27 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

We Found Love edit

Harris broke the record for the most top ten singles from an album with 8 but only 7 have been released which must mean we found love counts so it should be add right?--Onlythetruthisappropriate (talk) 11:54, 30 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

"We Found Love" was technically a single from Talk That Talk, and not considered as a single from 18 Months. It's kinda weird, but for the sake of the record being broken, they counted "We Found Love" there. Helicopter Llama 21:38, 30 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Edit request on 20 September 2013 edit

I would like to edit the release history and add New Zealand to the list of countries of where and when it was released. In New Zealand, it was released on 26 October 2012 by Sony Music on CD/Digital download with both standard and deluxe versions. It should fit in with Germany and the Netherlands. 122.59.30.87 (talk) 05:36, 20 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

You can edit the page if you create an account, and then become autoconfirmed. Or, if you want another editor to make this edit, please provide a reliable source. RudolfRed (talk) 00:12, 22 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Certification edit

Is nothing going to included about the British certification? Even if the BPI have forgotten to include anything about it, we all know the album has sold a good few hundred thousand copies. Unreal7 (talk) 18:58, 28 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Not until the certification is officially confirmed by the BPI. Stating that an album or song earned a certain certification solely based on sales violates WP:SYNTH. SN▲PSN▲P 00:16, 29 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

I wonder where the cover photo was taken.

Why did Calvin name it "18 Months"? edit

This is something that needs to be mentioned at the beginning of the article. I already searched online, but found nothing. My closest guess is that the songs were recorded throughout 18 months. Whoever finds the reason is asked to add it to the article. Elominius (talk) 21:35, 5 August 2023 (UTC) - last modified 21:37, 5 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
