Maybe give it 12 weeks, like a 1st place track? 3 months still seems kinda short, but I'd say that's a good base period.

So, can the next SotW be put up now or must we await more deliberation?

I'm still waiting for the tracks to be uploaded. I can put up a placeholder if you're really anxious though.

I'm not that anxious. I'm just anxious to put my next nom up.

Well, I submitted a placeholder anyway, using links from the upload folder on the server. It seems to work for now.

I'm afraid murder simulators cause me to do unspeakable acts, therefore for the good of the world, I refrain from playing them or listening to their music.

We have one more incident that I can recall: "Zero" from Ace Combat Zero. That led to a decision of table the nomination until the soundtrack comes out. I don't necessarily agree to applying that to all cases, but it seemed reasonable to me for ACZ because of the combination of the series being rather popular here in terms of gameplay and music (disproportionately so compared to elsewhere, which is another interesting discussion topic) a soundtrack already being announced at the time of nomination.

But David Deluxe ended up pulling that one too after the soundtrack came out, so we still have no real precedent determining when a track becomes "not too new."
