Upcoming iPhone 5

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article based purely on speculation and therefore violates CRYSTAL. Apple is notoriously secretive about upcoming products; there are no reliable sources available. HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 18:07, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Pure unsubstantiated rumour. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 20:15, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I concur, when the cloud of uncertainty passes over then it would only be wright and proper to create such an article. Gabesta449 ^edits ^♦ ^chat 21:25, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The only thing that we can know for sure right now is that there will be an iPhone 5. Beyond that, all of the sources here lead to other sources which have little to no verifiability. Capcom1116 (talk) 22:27, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect - Redirect to a section on the iphone 4 page detailing speculation about an iphone 5. --Ashershow1_{talk•contribs} 23:48, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete CRYSTAL. The iPhone page could probably do with a section on the speculation that goes around the more reputable commentators on upcoming models, though. There's an awful lot of it around Apple. Douglasi (talk) 14:18, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid such a section would have the same sourcing issues as the article. Move crud around, it's still crud. HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 15:37, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This article is full of speculation and is non-encyclopedic. Besides, even if it were a decent article it should have been named "iPhone 5" rather than "Upcoming iPhone 5"; upcoming is temporary, and Wikipedia is not a news website. PCHS-NJROTC ^(Messages) 03:24, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The peculiar name is because I protected iPhone 5 as a redirect a long time ago. HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 03:57, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If IPhone 5 was salted a long time ago, then this article might qualify for a speedy deletion as recreation of previously deleted material. PCHS-NJROTC ^(Messages) 22:14, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, because I didn't delete anything, I just salted it preemptively to prevent exactly this from happening. HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 23:33, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
