[edit] Red Steel 2

Red Steel 2 (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

It's an unconfirmed sequel of a game that just came out. The WP:PROD tag I added was contested, and the tag was added a second time shortly after that. Because a contested Prod should go to AfD, I'm listing it here. Even though I added the tag in the first place, I'm neutral, as I get a surprisingly large number of Google hits for "Red Steel 2". --Conti|✉ 03:40, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. The article admits that nearly all details about the game are just speculation, and a future video game does not have the significance of something like the 2008 Summer Olympics to justify an article. Heimstern Läufer 04:00, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete It does seem like the game will happen, but we should wait until at least Ubisoft confirms it. TJ Spyke 04:07, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per above. MER-C 05:45, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete: "its existence is pure speculation". Need I say more? Zetawoof^(ζ) 06:00, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been added to the list of CVG deletions. Koweja 08:12, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete: Ubisoft hiring people for the "Red Steel project" isn't the same as confirmation of a sequel. Koweja 08:12, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete for all the above reasons Guy (Help!) 10:25, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - Wikipedia is not a Crystal Ball; recreate when or if the game does come into existance. --Anthonycfc 12:56, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete: As the article states, it is pure speculation and has no place here. If Ubisoft were to announce or even hint at it, that would be sufficient grounds for an article. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 13:22, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as per WP:CRYSTAL. It might be popular on Google, but until there's some substance to speculation, there shouldn't be an article that can provide potentially misleading information. --Scottie theNerd 13:29, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete -unconfirmed, we can't really have articles about crufty-sounding rumours. Moreschi ^Deletion! 13:31, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, WP:CRYSTAL needs reliable sources to confirm a future software like this. Terence Ong 15:58, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete: I have heard about the work ads, perhaps that particular information should be added to the red steel article but not it's own as per WP:CRYSTAL Da Big Bozz 18:06, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

DELETE, not even a merge since it is not verifiable at all.--Chicbicyclist 10:36, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete for now; article can be recreated if/when Red Steel 2 is announced (and verifiable). --Alan Au 05:52, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
• Neutral Red Steel sold incredibly well, and Ubisoft has unofficially confirmed the game [1]. This article could work as a stub with the "this article is about a future tag and may contain speculation. Alan Shatte 22:13, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
• Weak delete The game will probably be released but it isn't verifiable right now. Infomanager 22:23, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
• Weak delete but include a line or two about a possible sequel in the original Red Steel article. Gisele Hsieh 20:28, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
  • This makes sense I have edited the "Reaction" portion of the Red Steel article to include a possible sequel. Alan Shatte 21:28, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
