Battalion online
Non-notable unreleased game. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Contested prod. I had tagged it as db-web, a new subsection of CSD A7, but now I don't think that an MMORPG falls under that category. -- Merope Talk 20:03, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: the fact of a game being not yet released is not a sufficient criterion for deletion. For many precedents, see uses of future game. Lack of a fixed release date, lack of verifiability from reliable sources, and, most importantly, lack of notability per WP:SOFTWARE (which is not a ratified guideline, but has a lot of support), are stronger reasons to delete, in my opinion. However, no vote from me. — Kaustuv Chaudhuri 06:27, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * In cases where the game is not produced by an established company and the release (or even completion) of the game is uncertain, I believe that articles about them do fall under crystal ball-ism, which is sufficient in this case. All the game has to recommend itself is a forum with 25 registered users and a handful of posts.  I should have made that clearer in my deletion reason. -- Merope Talk 12:40, 5 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. Non-established company, small forum, vague release date. The game may never appear. Reinstate if it becomes real.  Article is very short and uninformative, hardly more than a pointer to the game's web site.  EdJohnston 03:31, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
