[edit] Alien 5 (rumoured movie)

This article is on a rumoured 5th installment of the acclaimed series, as astute editors may be able to tell from the title. The article was speedily deleted by an administrator who felt it failed to comply with the policy Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. The article's principal editor appealed the question at Wikipedia:Deletion review, where most felt that whether or not the NOT policy was infringed is a matter for the wisdom of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, not the discretion of a single administrator, however thoughtful. And so here we are, ladies and gentlemen. Your thoughts, please. —Encephalon 18:51, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. This kind of information is suitable for an Alien fan site, but not for a Wikipedia article. --TheKoG (talk|contribs) 18:54, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete, non-notable (really!) and per NOT. Besides, this rumor is referenced in the article on Alien, and that's all we need. The rest is fancruft. Slowmover 18:58, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Wikipedia is not a crystal ball.--Jersey Devil 19:15, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, WP:NOT a crystal ball. Game over, man!  RasputinAXP  c 19:29, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NOT crystalball clause. No evidence this movie is even in development hell... only exists in the minds of the fanboys.--Isotope23 20:57, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete It's the only way to be sure. --Mmx1 21:06, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Ripley's believe it or not: in this case, not. Just zis Guy you know? 22:36, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete how many times does it have to be said? We're not an 8-ball either. ;) Danny Lilithborne 01:30, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete The article contains this telling sentence, "...a new Alien movie cannot be ruled out." The inability to prove a negative is hardly a strong claim on which to build an article. Xoloz 03:51, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - per RasputinAXP and everyone else who took the good lines before I got here... MikeWazowski 04:58, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: If someone was spending notable amounts of money on a movie project, that would be one thin, but rumoured? Peter Grey 06:09, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete until the movie is in production (or a verified copy of the shooting script escapes onto the Web) -- Simon Cursitor 07:06, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep. Media coverage seems to be significant and can be of use to readers.--Xorox 12:07, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
