re Deletion of Infinity (computer game)
Hi Spacemonkeynz. I deleted Infinity (computer game) because I assessed it as being eligible under the Criteria for speedy deletion. Actually I re-deleted it, since it had been deleted once before, but was subsequently recreated.

To expand upon the edit summary I gave explaining the deletion, the article was about a "small independent" computer game which was still under development- that is, about a product which does not yet exist. Since wikipedia can't predict the future (aka "wikipedia not a crystal ball"), it's generally not appropriate to have articles speculating on what might or might not eventuate.

Secondly, even if the game was released, that doesn't mean it's automatically notable enough for a mention here. There must be thousands of games released every day, but to be notable enough to be included here a game really needs to satisfy notability guidelines and demonstrate that there are enough verifiable, reliable and multiple independent references to it. Please review in particular WP:WEB and WP:PROG.

If and when the game is released, and it can be shown to be notable enough per those guidelines with those independent references, and furthermore doesn't amount to mere promotion and advertising spam, that would be the time to try creating an article on it. No guarantees of course that it will be considered notable enough at that time.

Hope this explains things, regards --cjllw |  TALK  23:34, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
