• Delete per nom. I might also add that the author of the article, Hugo94, has a short and storied history of vandalism. --jonny-mt^(t)_(c)Tell me what you think! 13:15, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete almost certainly a hoax, if not then certainly a crystal - Dumelow (talk) 14:13, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, very likely to be a hoax. 96T (talk) 14:40, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This debate has been added to the list of video game deletions. Koweja (talk) 14:41, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as hoax/fan-fic/crystal-balling. GTA 5 will probably exist at some point, but this is not it. - Koweja (talk) 14:41, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - as per this. The article has absolutely zilch in terms of verifiability and the presentation is quite bad. Rudget _talk 17:36, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. WP:CRYSTAL, obviously. Malinaccier (talk • contribs) 22:26, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Why was this not speedily deleted in the first place? It most definitely fits the criteria --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 23:34, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• The claim to notability (that it is a game developed by Rockstar) excludes it from most CSD criteria. G3 (vandalism) can be used for blatantly obvious or recurring hoaxes, but it's unclear whether an admin would delete this page based on such a nomination. --jonny-mt^(t)_(c)Tell me what you think! 01:49, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. Shouldn't we wait for Grand Theft Auto IV to come out before an article is created for GTA5? Doc Strange (talk) 14:25, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy deleting, this has no source; the above are assuming crystal balling, whereas this is merely a hoax. --Golbez (talk) 23:14, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
