Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Xbox 360 slim

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete. Consensus below is that sources are not yet sufficient for an article. If it is actually released coverage, either as a section in the Xbox article as a stand-alone subject, will be appropriate. Eluchil404 (talk) 07:57, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Based on rumors. —Mike Allen 03:32, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep because of CNet reference and this (blacklisted) one: http: //www.examiner .com/x-28759-Atlanta-Video-Game-News-Examiner~y2010m3d19-Noted-console-modder-analyzes-rumored-Xbox-360-Slim-motherboard Tisane (talk) 04:06, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Xbox 360, not necessary for a separate article, even if it did exist. 76.66.194.4 (talk) 04:21, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The sole reference doesn't provide details or confirm the existence of the system ("nothing has been confirmed by Microsoft") and is chiefly a wishlist. The name "Xbox 360 slim" is itself based on speculation. Ponydepression (talk) 05:49, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. WP:CBALL. The existence, or even intent of existence, of the product cannot be verified and the article referenced even says as much. Kamasutra (talk) 07:21, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. WP:CRYSTAL. The supposed maker of the product repudiates the rumors^[1]. — Rankiri (talk) 14:22, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, back in August 2009. Tisane (talk) 15:50, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do any newer sources contradict that claim? — Rankiri (talk) 15:56, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Microsoft does not comment on rumors or speculation." Go ahead and delete, but watch and see if this doesn't come out sometime around Christmas 2010. If I'm wrong on this, then hopefully I'll have better luck with the ten-million pool. Tisane (talk) 16:12, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Leaning not bogus" and "[e]ven if the photos are legit" is still extremely speculative. Besides, even if the product comes out later this year, I doubt that we'll want to keep the information separately from the parent article. PS3 Slim redirects to PS3. It's very likely that Xbox 360 slim will be used as a redirect to Xbox 360 as well. — Rankiri (talk) 16:44, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Full of rumors - Microsoft declined to comment, which leaves it even more shaky. --Teancum (talk) 12:27, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete if it is a rumor, but redirect if it is a real thing. If it were to be announced, and had enough information, we would make an article. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 15:34, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as with above and redirect if it is confirmed. -Harrypmgaga (talk) 00:30, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- is it so hard to understand WP:CRYSTAL? ukexpat (talk) 14:55, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think you understand it. It is only "crystal ball"ing if you have no proof. There are some sources for this. It just seems like even the sources are speculating though. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 15:31, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I do understand it, thank you. Speculation is not "proof", it's, well, speculation, which is crystal balling. QED. – ukexpat (talk) 21:59, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
