The result was speedy keep, given that this exists. The article could probably use some work though. Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :) 00:08, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Saw: The Ride
- Saw: The Ride (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
A roller coaster not constructed yet. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball and not a promotional billboard. `'Míkka>t 17:02, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep The sources/links provided assert it's in fact coming, so it's not exactly WP:CRYSTAL, but it may need more "reliable" coverage. ←Signed:→Mr. E. Sánchez Get to know me! / Talk to me!←at≈:→ 18:35, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep This is a notable ride: as notable as, say, Colossus (Thorpe Park), Stealth (roller coaster) or Nemesis Inferno. Whether it's built yet or not is fairly irrelevant - the hype and notability is still there. Granted, this article requires a tonne of clean-up, and referencing, but it's not a candidate for deletion. TalkIslander 23:55, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep This ride is a track completed build, the only thing left to complete is the buildings, therefore it gets an article. Stop bullshitting and actually provide a good reason for deletion you moron. Citedcover (talk) 13:02, 18 October 2008 (UTC) Note: This account has been blocked for harassment of editors.

- Keep Very well publicised ride, the track's already complete and the theme is known - in fact it's based on a movie franchise. If this goes, then Colossus and Nemesis Inferno have to go too - which would be daft. The article does need refining, though. Makron1n (talk) 15:30, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- comment: The article says: the real name and details of the ride being revealed on 13 October 2008" -- and in wikipedia already ??? THis is a shameless promotion. Well, whatever. `'Míkka>t 15:45, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment why does that matter at all? Notability is not dictated by how long something has to go until it's released, or how long since it was released. Your argument doesn't stand up. A film, if notable enough, may have a Wikipedia article six months or more before release. No different here. TalkIslander 17:07, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Notability is dictated by independent sources. So far the only references are promotional stuff from interested parties. `'Míkka>t 18:35, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], to give just a small few. How's about a Google search to prove it even more. I haven't checked out all of those links carefully, but the first five at least are reliable third party sources which demonstrate notability. Heck, the first one alone is enough to demonstrate notability, following which facts can be cited from primary sources. Not to mention the fact that as a major new ride of a completely notable theme park, there is probably inherent notability here. TalkIslander 20:44, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep There are credible links about the ride, and I also found this, don't know if anyone else has found this http://www.rcdb.com/ig4162.htm Rollinman (talk) 15:59, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep This ride is actually real - why get rid of this page? People use this page daily for info on completion status etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theface102 (talk • contribs) 18:36, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
