Delete - WP is NOT NEWS, and especially not non-news. Seems to be a neat story about well-cited Crystal Ball speculation that nothing is going to happen. Kind of puts the NO into NOKIA, I guess... Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:51, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I'm going to restate what I said on the first nomination: WP:CRYSTAL says, "Wikipedia is not a collection of product announcements and rumors. While Wikipedia includes up-to-date knowledge about newly revealed products, short articles that consist only of product announcement information are not appropriate. Until such time that more encyclopedic knowledge about the product can be verified, product announcements should be merged to a larger topic (such as an article about the creator(s), a series of products, or a previous product) if applicable. Speculation and rumor, even from reliable sources, are not appropriate encyclopedic content." Despite sources, this article really is speculation and rumour because Nokia has not formally made any comment about the product, despite significant time passing since the first rumours. Additionally, "more encyclopedic knowledge" is not yet available. Millermk (talk) 06:36, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I agree with Millermk's argument that Wikipedia is not a WP:CRYSTALBALL. It's possible there may soon be sources confirming that the subject exists and is notable but rumors are not good enough. Msnicki (talk) 19:13, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

do not delete this was an actual project by Nokia that was intended to replace their s40 and s60, low to mid range smart/feature phones, this project did actually exist and Qt developers on the talk.maemo.org did confirm its existence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.24.101.72 (talk) 01:31, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that the project existed does not justify it's inclusion in Wikipedia. Millermk (talk) 06:32, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Millermk's right. WP:Existence ≠ Notability provides helpful guidance. Msnicki (talk) 17:34, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
