Too much speculation/CRYSTALBALL  Purpleback pack  89  ≈≈≈≈  00:21, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - yes there is some speculation but there are also references in the article. TML (talk) 00:23, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep This is Modern Warfare 3, it's coming, there are confirmed sources, there should be an article for it even if it's a stub in the mean time. Revrant (talk) 02:56, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Does the video game really pass WP:CRYSTALHAMMER? We don't really know anything about the video game other than its name; we don't know the characters, the weapon set, or the release date.  "This is Modern Warfare 3" isn't a valid reason to keep  Purpleback  pack  89  ≈≈≈≈  03:52, 18 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:CRYSTAL, and notability hasn't been proven yet.   ArcAngel    (talk) ) 06:02, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per CRYSTALBALL. Pure speculation so far.--Yaksar (let's chat) 06:09, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. Its not notable enough, everything that we know about it is pre speculation. It hasn't even been officially revealed yet. This page should only be recreated once it gets as much media attention as Battlefield 3, with official trailers and announced dates, etc. I am a violinist ♫ talk to me here!  10:47, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Note to closer: This is the IP's only edit, it offers no reason for keeping, and it was not even formatted properly  Purpleback pack  89  ≈≈≈≈  06:57, 22 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Merge/Redirect to Call of Duty - Not enough sources covering the subject yet. Blake (Talk·Edits) 20:28, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep If it mean a normal game - ok, delete. But, this is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - successor of the one of the best games in history (revenue above 1 billion $, many millions of fans). You can make an exception. Subtropical-man (talk) 20:54, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Notability is not inherited. Blake (Talk·Edits) 19:06, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Its obvious that this game is in the making, and I don't see any particular reason why this game would be qualified for deletion, when there's a massive amount of other, less credible articles that people let stay. 88.89.42.129 (talk) 07:43, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete There is no verifiable evidence to support that the next game will be modern warfare 3, although highly likely, no official announcement has been made from activision or any of the developers. Delete. Recommend renaming article to "Call of Duty 8" until the title is confirmed, but mention the speculation of Modern Warfare 3 in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.222.208.167 (talk) 15:45, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Release year can be kept as IGN and LA Times has a release slated for 2011, but no specific month has been specified.

 * Comment: no offense, but it appears that many of the keep votes are based on invalid ILIKE arguments  Purpleback pack  89  ≈≈≈≈  05:21, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge per Blake. Minor verification, but not enough substance to justify a separate article. Viable search term. Marasmusine (talk) 08:21, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge I think that merging this material into the appropriate section of the Call of Duty main article makes sense for now. Dbrodbeck (talk) 12:59, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge Seems like the most sensible thing to do at this stage. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:34, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep There are valid references to this page, and based on the success of Modern Warfare 2, it seems inevitable there will be a sequel. Russbus64 (talk)
 * Merge though notability is not inherited, being part of a notable franchise is not insignificant. Still, merging is a fine outcome until it can be better sourced and more fully described. Wickedjacob (talk) 02:29, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep confirmed details, delete intriguing infos We should not delete the whole article. We can reconsider it. Maybe Modern Warfare 3 will emerge this year. Also, maybe we can merge this to the parent article, the Call of Duty. [Saxons]  09:21, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge to Call of Duty. While there's sources, there isn't enough information to justify a separate article. CR4ZE (talk) 12:14, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge - Yes, we know it's coming, but we don't know much more then that. Till enough info is available, I support that the article be merged with the Call of Duty article. Another Type of Zombie  talk  16:13, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep as a stub. It is a developing article. Andrei S (talk) 12:43, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge A title and a developer aren't enough for an article. Merging is the best option at the moment. Muskeato 15:43, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
