[edit] Metroid Dread

Metroid Dread (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

I put this up due to the fact that there is no evidence that this even exists. So, go for it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Everythin' But A Good Time (talk • contribs) 19:23, December 13, 2006.

User:Everythin' But A Good Time started this AFD shortly before he was indef blocked for vandalism, but I don't know enough about Metroid Dread to invalidate the debate offhand. Canderson7 ^(talk) 20:36, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Delete - There hasn't been anything on this game in nearly a year, and the last substantiated reports said that it was cancelled...not that there was ever much substantial information on this game anyways. — BrotherFlounder (aka DiegoTehMexican) 20:48, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

The last substantiated report was from a Nintendo fan site who did not cite their sources - which is false. Two reports afterwards - one from IGN, and another from the official Nintendo magazine of Europe. This magazine's statement that it is not cancelled kills any argument that it is.

And I want a speedy close of this AfD. If the filer looked at the references, he would have seen a link from IGN confirming that it is real. - A Link to the Past (talk) 21:06, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Keep, the reason behind this request to delete is factually incorrect since Nintendo themselves revealed the existence of Metroid Dread, furthered by Nintendo reps who said it did not show up at E3, and further proven to be in existence by IGN and Nintendo magazines that claim it to still be in development. Really, the facts are in the article you're trying to delete.

On March 23, 2006, the website N-Sider reported that the IGN editor Craig Harris was asked about Metroid Dread, and his response was that it was too early to show at E3 in 2005, but that it could be shown later this year.

Last reliable report on Metroid Dread, which suggests that it is still in development. Please try reading the articles before marking them for deletion next time.--Claude 21:08, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

In fact, Speedy Close - user is a vandal who has literally done nothing to improve Wikipedia - in fact, has made a decent effort to do damage to it. - A Link to the Past (talk) 21:14, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
