[edit] Xbox 720

Xbox 720 (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

The Xbox 360 has been out only a little over a year. It will probably be 4-5 before any actual info about its successor comes out. Let's wait until then, instead of making random claims. Theshoestore 03:49, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. And I think you mean 'successor'. :) --Masamage 03:54, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment.There, I fixed it..oops ;)-- Theshoestore 03:59, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. There's no references saying that it's coming out in 2010 and no references saying it will even be called the Xbox 720. Until references are found, I say delete. ~a (user • talk • contribs) 04:10, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. --Unexplainedbacon 04:19, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete basically unsourced speculation. The name of the console could equally well be "Professor Hubert Q. Gates' Magical Virtual Entertrainment Contraption". Lankiveil 04:20, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep and I demand that the Encyclopedia add an article for Professor Hubert Q. Gates' Magical Virtual Entertrainment Contraption immediately. No, seriously, delete what the heck. --Haemo 05:09, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete and Protect The article has been deleted 5 times before [1]. When the next Xbox (and its name) is unveiled, it can be unprotected (assuming they use such a stupid name). TJ Spyke 05:11, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:NFT and WP:CRYSTAL. Resolute 05:31, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete and salt per above. MER-C 05:47, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete and salt. per about a half dozen criteria. Realkyhick 06:45, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Considering there is now considerable talk about the new Xbox 360 black coming out in the next few months, a new case and enhancements to the current one, I don't think Microsoft are dedicating themselves to a new machine in the near future. Completely made up. Ben W Bell talk 07:50, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete and protect per WP:CRYSTAL and WP:OR. "Possible name?". Thats not even verifiable --KZ Talk • Vandal • Contrib 10:07, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. -AMK152(Talk • Contributions • Send message) 15:09, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Unverifiable claim. -- Wenli 17:47, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Good Lord. Not even the name of the console is verifiable. The one-sentence article is speculative crystalballery. Pablothegreat85 18:17, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete; fails WP:V and WP:RS (no sources whatsoever) and also clearly violates WP:NOT a crystal ball. Crotalus horridus (TALK • CONTRIBS) 18:36, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
