Game has been canceled. If game gets resurrected, then the article can live again, too. ~QuasiAbstract (talk/contrib) 21:55, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep for now. Cancelled games still fit the criteria for inclusion, provided that they are notable enough; see Category:Cancelled video games, for example. --Ixfd64 (talk) 22:01, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
  • It still is important to have this knowledge of this gameMarioman12 (talk) 22:28, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment Needs substantial cleanup and expansion. I am unsure of the basis of notability for this game. Failed MMOs are a dime a dozen. Is it merely notable for being marvel-related (arguably the most extensive western comics universe)?
  • Keep article up. Just because its just been cancelled does not mean that it doesnt supply useful information. There are tones of cancelled wikipedia game articles - why is this one different?Damien Russell (talk) 00:50, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete as a failed case of crystal ball gazing. --Gavin Collins (talk) 10:41, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep it was obviously in development, and well anticipated (not crystal balling). People will still likely look to the article, either to see why it was cancelled or for release information and be informed that it was. xenocidic (talk) 16:47, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, not an example of a notable cancelled game. Andre (talk) 01:30, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - it was a notable project, well covered in news sources, as was the cancellation. Being canceled doesn't automatically deny notability. Time might change that, but at the moment it seems to be a valid topic. Bilby (talk) 02:01, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - I came to the encyclopedia looking for information on the project, only to see that it was being considered for deletion. 68.164.168.242 (talk) 07:12, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - This is significant because of the importance and controversy between the participants. Smeggysmeg (talk) 18:12, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - That it was canceled is important information for people seeking to learn about the game, especially since it was canned so recently. Excise (talk) 20:46, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per comments above Q T C 06:17, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Even though it has been cancelled, it is still a notable (if failed) project81.77.70.222 (talk) 11:44, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep An article's lifetime and the lifetime of a game's release do not have to be the same. Establishes notability. — brighterorange (talk) 13:28, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per Ixfd64, this is one instance where a canceled game can still be notable. RFerreira (talk) 18:55, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
