[edit] Duke Nukem Forever

SWGEmu was deleted for being unreleased, this should be no different. - Eiridan —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eiridan (talk • contribs) 04:58, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep SWGEmu was deleted because it had no claim to notability, being just an emulator [1]. DNF was announced by a major software company with regular updates on its progress. Clearly meets WP:V and WP:NOTABLE. Hbdragon88 07:29, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been added to the list of CVG deletions. Hbdragon88 07:34, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Agreed with the points made by Hbdragon88. Also the Team Fortress 2 and Phantom articles are much more comparible situations than SWGEmu and are currently unchallenged. Even if the project were cancelled it would still be a historically relevent and meets WP:NOTABLE. Charlie Wiederhold 07:40, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Only the single most famous example of vaporware in human history (with the sole possible exception of the Second Coming of Christ, which most of his original disciples expected to see before they died). Marblespire 07:44, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep On the basis that there was little reason to nominate this for deletion. --72.12.30.143 07:58, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep See WP:POINT. Thsi game is notable whether it ever gets released or not, so crystal ball doesn't apply. Ace of Sevens 08:37, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Marblespire. Danny Lilithborne 08:39, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per above, DNF is a obviously notable, verifiable game even if it never gets released. --SevereTireDamage 08:41, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Will be released any day now... —Viriditas | Talk 10:10, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep — Even though I'm not a gamer, I've heard of it (I guess I spend too much time around Slashdot). Mike Peel 10:20, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep The developement history alone is worthy of an article in this case. Konman72 11:15, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep: Next to The Phantom this is the best known vaporware. It is likely that a writeup on the subject will be the only way to explain this gamer humor to future generations. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 11:20, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep: The only reason the article was nominated was to make a point, a weak one at that since obviously DNF meets criteria for notability and verfication. Mitaphane _talk 11:26, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy keep, WP:POINT nomination. Weregerbil 12:23, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep One of the best known instances of vaporware ever. Also the game is suppose to still be coming out yes? Or so the company keeps saying. --zero faults ^{|sockpuppets|} 12:24, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
