[edit] General War (game)

General War (game) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Entry for a nonexistent/speculative product and sounds somewhat like advertising. Discussion page seems to be used for private communications. Craw-daddy 18:21, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Its talk page has so far only been edited 3 times by 2 people (including creation). Anthony Appleyard 18:35, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
  • True, however one part of the page is an email quote, and the discussion is about the design of the product on the page in question. Craw-daddy 18:38, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached

  • As the person who first listed this, I thought I should chime in again. The article reads more like a business proposal to me, more so than an encyclopedic entry. It all appears to be speculative. The opening line says this is the "working title" for a "proposed" game. At the end you see that "no game development has been put into General War" so this is really talking about a non-existent game, for which there's no foreseeable time frame for development. The article's discussion page, while only having a few edits, also seems to be personal communication, and starts out 'The "plan" (which is little more than a dream or a vision or maybe just a wild assed idea)'... In other words, definitely not an encyclopedic article. I think the case for deletion is pretty clear. Craw-daddy 00:42, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Er... from the page: "At the time of writing, no game development has been put into General War." So it's a game that will probably come to be in the future, but no one knows when or even if it will? Seems pretty clear case of crystal ballery. Rockstar (T/C) 06:13, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. Percy Snoodle 06:46, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. No game development at all? I can't imagine this is notable enough, at least not yet. Lemonsawdust 06:59, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, as something made up in game developers school one day.--killing sparrows 07:04, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
