DeadalusX64

Non-notable future software. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. TN‑X-Man 03:44, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete — per nom, as this is basically unreferenced crystalballery. However, I am noting that this article is being put up for deletion less than one day after its creation, which means that this article has likely not had a chance to improve.

- Comment I understand your concern that it was quick nomination. However, I don't think there is much upon which to improve. The software is still in development and a beta is planned for December. This is what WP:CRYSTAL is designed to prevent: pages that list updates until something becomes notable. The topic needs to be notable first, then an article can be written. I hope this clarifies my nomination. Cheers! TN‑X-Man 12:48, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment First off, i understand the reason behind wanting to delete the article. But to it's and my defense (i created it yesterday), the project has been around since 2006. The original developer has grown increasingly busy and went MIA for a few months. Since then, community members have decided to start working on the project under a new name as to respect the original developer. As for the article, we plan on adding a compatibility list along with technical features. I wouldn't say this is a crystal ball type of situation simply because it's a working piece of software. I was playing Mario kart at roughly 90% speed earlier this morning, among other games. (SynGamer) 17:16, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- You still would need to include references from reliable sources independent of the subject to establish notability of the program (forums or non-trivial SourceForge entries are not considered reliable). Hope that helps, MuZemike (talk) 18:03, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - let's see if there's any reliable sources on the web... Nope. So unless someone can point out some good magazine coverage, this will have to go. Marasmusine (talk) 10:15, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is ridiculous Wiki Mods, this project is spoken much too often on pspupdates.com, and only because you guys can't find doesn't mean it isn't a concrete project, how dare you insult our work? Is this the constructive criticism on which you expect to reflect the founder of wikipedia? IF you delete this, I will not allow it to ever be placed on Wikipedia. Nov 8, 2008 5:48 PM (Shinydude100)

If you can point to where the project has received significant covereage from independent, reliable sources (beyond press releases) then perhaps this will establish some notability. As far as I can tell, no-one has insulted anybody. If the article is deleted, but later achieves enough notability, it's likely that someone will create a new article whether you like it or not.
