[edit] Mephiles the Hedgehog

Contested prod. Subject of article is a minor character in an unreleased game. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Geoffrey Spear 17:40, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

I know that, but this is updated information. What's wrong with making an article for a new character? It will most likely be updated when more tangible news is released. - MMSX

• Delete as crystal ball. Fan-1967 17:59, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as unverified non-notable. Even when the game comes out, these two sentences should be on its page. Karol 18:00, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Very true. Nontheless, the article will most likely be updated very soon, thanks to the new info about this game being released.... - MMSX

• Comment That's the second time you've said "most likely". Wikipedia is not for things that "most likely" will happen. Please read Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. -- Fan-1967 18:16, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Even if this information comes out, put in on the game's page. No need to make new pages for two sentences in this case. Karol 18:29, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Again: new info is coming in soon. Let me rephrase what I said earilier to fit what you said: the page WILL BE updated as new info is released ( which is inevitable ).

• Delete, recreate if/when there is verifiable information showing that the new character exists and is notable. NawlinWiki 18:59, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
• delete, add info to a relevant article when it's available -Steve Sanbeg 19:16, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Alright, I understand; I don't want to take up precious wikipedia space anyway. However, is there a way to record this information for when this article is remade when new info IS released ( atleast save the link to Sonic-Cult )? - MMSX

• Yes. It's called a hard disk. Delete Danny Lilithborne 19:35, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Hey, don't bite the newbies- I'm sure he just wants to contribute :o). Anyway, this character for an upcoming game doesn't meet the criteria for an article and fails WP:NOT. --Wafulz 19:49, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - fails [[WP:NOT], and fails WP:V -- Whpq 19:53, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

ALRIGHT, I GET IT!!!! - MMSX

• • Delete We know this character exists, but this name isn't official, and this site doesn't justify it being official. -Sukecchi 20:04, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

• Alright, how do you delete a sub-section like this? - MMSX

• Note: This debate has been added to the list of CVG deletions. PresN 20:00, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - MMSX, if you want to delete it, put {{db-owner}} on the article. An admin will delete it shortly thereafter and close this discussion, and you can resubmit your information when it becomes verifiable and notable. Srose (talk) 20:21, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

• Thank you...sorry. - MMSX
