[edit] StarCraft II

This game has not been announced, so the article is pure speculation. jacoplane 14:41, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, WP:NOT a crystal ball. Alphax ^τεχ 14:45, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, clearly crystal ball, but this brings up a question I have. Recently I have seen a lot of {{future game}} and {{future album}} tags on articles. It's been worrying me that these are clearly violating WP:NOT by their very existence. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? (I ask here because I figure the people reading AfD's are the most likely to care about such issues.) --Deville (Talk) 14:56, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

• Well if the game or album has been officially announced, and there is verifiable information, I dont see a problem with such articles. Rampant speculation like in this article is different IMO though. jacoplane 15:03, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

• Agreed, if there is verifiable information, I can see the use of such a tag. Perhaps I should say more and state that most of the pages I've seen with this tag are totally crystal-balled out. Maybe I should restate my original comment and say that this tag tends to strongly encourage violations of crystal ballism. --Deville (Talk) 18:15, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

• In this particular case Starcraft: Ghost is the title in development (though what's going to happen with it is up in the air at the moment). Starcraft 2, as separate from Starcraft: Ghost, is wishful thinking on the part of some fans. Kiti 00:03, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as per above. Chairman S. ^Talk 22:13, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with or redirect to StarCraft or perhaps StarCraft Secret Missions. But, to be honest, most of the information is copied from other articles, so only a little needs to be moved. Kimera757 02:32, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: As much as I want StarCraft 2, this article has not a shred of fact in it. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 23:47, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete there is no evidence that this game is being planned or in production. --Polkapunk 18:17, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
