[edit] OLPC XS

OLPC XS (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article was tagged for speedy but I think there is some assertion of notability. However I am not sure it meets the requirements. OLPC itself is notable but this is a product that seems not to have been produced yet and demonstrates no notability yet. I leave to the community to decide if its notable at present JodyB _{yak, yak, yak} 12:06, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - Take your pick:

1. We're not a crystal ball.
2. Entirely unreferenced.
3. Mostly original research.
4. No assertion of notability.

1. Crystal ball or not, wikipedia normally does cover announced products. Have a look at the expected future Intel processors if you doubt this. We even have a {{future product}} template and a Future_products category for them.
2. Feel free to add the references. (see wiki.laptop.org) BTW, you have quite a backlog of long-existing articles without references...
3. Uh, WTF? It's not original research at all. What flakey theory is being suggested?
4. I hereby assert that it is in fact notable. No, it's not notable like the Pope, but it's good enough for an article especially when there is no name conflict requiring disambiguation.
