So C. H. Greenblatt announced that he was unable to keep the Working Title of Bad Seeds, and the work is currently untitled. Should its page stay at that title until a new name is announced?

Until it's actually renamed, leave it as-is. After the rename, though, just make a page with the new name and transfer the content/wicks to the new page, then redirect the old one to the new.

(I originally thought cutlisting it, but on further consideration it's not like the usual Main->Newnamespace shift, and there's always some asshole person who doesn't get the memo about the change. tongue )

I know how to move articles once a new name is made; for instance, I just moved our article on The Hub to Discovery Family since the channel was renamed two months ago.

Just wasn't sure what to do when the new name hasn't been confirmed yet.

In this case, waiting seems good enough for me.
