Internet Explorer 10

Pure speculation. This may be just as well released earlier or later than Windows 8. Unencyclopedic. Jasper Deng (talk) 23:49, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom, completely WP:CRYSTAL and not valid yet per WP:NSOFT. Sources like [1] are just conjecture, with nothing substantive about Microsoft's intentions. This article should only be recreated when the sources can provide more than rumors. --Gyrobo (talk) 00:18, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, the subject has been formally announced and there are now multiple reliable sources discussing it. --Gyrobo (talk) 02:54, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Agree, it has been announced by Microsoft (via press); more information will be available over time. Unlike Windows 8, nothing was announced (by MS) at all. Weak keep. Silvergoat (talk∙contrib) 08:10, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Reaper Eternal (talk) 00:31, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per above; it looks like somebody created this entry just for "completeness", rather than because it actually warrants its own entry at this time. Tomalak Geret'kal (talk) 00:23, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep If IE 10 has actually been announced then quite frankly we should keep this article. It will eventually become a full article so why delete it, if we will have to recreate it again. It would seem more logical if we left it to be, and continued to expand on it as time progresses.--A9l8e7n (talk) 21:26, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Where has it been announced? See WP:Verifiability - virtually none of the page info is sourced. This would be much better placed on the main Internet Explorer article, but if and only if Microsoft announced it.Jasper Deng (talk) 23:14, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well if there are no legitimate sources to be found, it shouldn't even be on the main Internet Explorer article either--A9l8e7n (talk) 04:57, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I wouldn't delete this article. IE 10 was announced on MSDN today (12-April-2010). It was also announced and the Platform Preview 1 was demonstrated at Microsoft's Mix 2011 conference in Las Vegas (also 12-April-2010). Announcement of IE 10 Silvie rob (talk) 19:13, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The first IE 10 preview was announced on the IE blog on the 12th of April. -- WOSlinker (talk) 19:59, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The article as it stands though is pure speculation.Jasper Deng (talk) 20:11, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The software already exists - only as platform preview although for other (smaller) software that wouldn't be enough but MS is showing interest again in the WWW and thus will be release more information and software(updates). Also per two comments above: it is already referenced my MS. As A9l8e7n already said: why should be recreate this article in a few weeks? mabdul 21:44, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge Little is known about IE10. It would be more efficient if for now this article was merged into the Internet Explorer versions or History of Internet Explorer articles. The article should be recreated only after the beta version is released and people know more about it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sfoske70 (talk • contribs) 22:35, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- We actually know a lot about IE 10 from MIX11 and from the developer preview. The only thing that we know nothing about is the interface. Illegal Operation (talk) 00:30, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep- Though Microsoft has not released specifics, the software was in fact announced at the mix11 developer conference. Furthermore, the software isn't speculative vaporware as there is an IE10 download officially available via the developer internet explorer test drive site. The software has received substantial coverage including: PC Magazine, InformationWeek, San Fransisco Chronicle, and a number of tech blogs including: ZDNet, CNet, and Computer World. That being said, the article should be expanded, not deleted.Smallman12q (talk) 00:07, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Since Microsoft has announced Internet Explorer 10 at MIX11 and release a the first platform preview of Internet Explorer 10, we should keep this article. EDIT: I just notice that all the "Delete" were posted prior to IE 10 announcement. Illegal Operation (talk) 00:21, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, it is announced and having the article allows it to grow naturally adding timely info and refs. --Pmsyyz (talk) 01:25, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: It is going to be a valid article soon enough if not already, I don't see any harm in leaving it around until then. –CWenger (talk) 05:17, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This page has enough content to justify itself and it will only grow with time. Though it is small right now, all content is verifiable and officially announced by Microsoft, the developer of the software. Users can download the first platform preview today so it is a tangible product. Captain Stack (talk) 05:32, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as it is already a tangable product announced by Microsoft. --Tyw7 (☎ Contact me! • Contributions) Changing the world one edit at a time! 17:54, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - as the first preview version is released and downloadable. -Abhishikt 20:17, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
Strong keep It's been officially announced and even has a platform preview released; seems pretty obvious to me. Byakuya Truelight (talk) 20:32, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep It's been announced, preview released. I was shocked to even see that it was up for deletion. I mean, that may have had some weight before the announcement, but now? No... Bmecoli (talk) 00:21, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep does not fail WP:CRYSTAL as MS has already released a beta version, so the amount of speculation dropped drastically and the verifiable facts increased. The amount of coverage it has received should allow it to pass WP:GNG now. /ƒETCH COMMS / 02:57, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Fast-tracked keep This is just as obvious as 1+1=2. Any further discussion is nothing but counterproductive. Kxx (talk | contribs) 04:42, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
