[edit] DOOM/DUNE

It seems to me that this article is nothing but pure speculation on the part of the author. I don't know much about the Doom or Dune video game franchises but the tone indicates that this is just rampant speculation. For years fans of college hockey have speculated on the future creation of a college hockey video game, that doesn't warrant the creation of an article. -- RPIRED 01:52, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Probably should get into Bad Jokes &c, because it's pretty funny. The article's also factually inaccurate: DOOM took place on Phobos, not an extrasolar planet. LizardWizard 01:55, Feb 11, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, speedily if possible. This is nothing more than pure speculation. Can't even call it "original research" since what few facts in this are wrong. - Lucky 6.9 02:01, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, mere speculation, nothing factual. -- Antaeus Feldspar 02:09, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• Delete -- The line "There is no such game yet, but there might be someday" clearly admits that it's only speculation. (Zzyzx11 02:47, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC))

• Delete, games are entirely unrelated, and so are the companies that hold their copyright. 212.206.63.108 10:55, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC) talk
• Delete as utter nonsense. One is a first-person shooter, while the other is a role-playing game adaptation of a literary work. It's like someone suggesting a game combining Grand Theft Auto and A Midsummer Night's Dream. 23skidoo 17:08, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • I'd prefer a combination of WWE and Pride & Prejudice: that way you could have a character named Stone Cold Jane Austen. Oh, and delete. --Calton 09:40, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Bless the Maker and His water; bless the coming and going of Him. May His passage cleanse the wiki. Iralith 19:24, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Still, the game could actually be rather run if made properly. Carrp | Talk 19:28, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete : talk about cross fertilization. To the Author - make the game, sell it, then come back and write a NPOV piece about it. Good luck. Courtland 03:21, 2005 Feb 12 (UTC)
• Delete The article actually says There is no such game yet, but there might be someday. Its rationale for the argument is The names sound similar and both stories have alot in common. This is a load of bullcrap and needs to get destroyed. Now. -- Cabhan 05:23, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Totally crazy nonsense. TomTheHand 18:37, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)
