WP:CRYSTAL and WP:TOOSOON. Sourced entirely to an NVidia blog, and there's no guarantee that it will be named anything like this, or that major changes won't appear. Luke no 94 (tell Luke off here) 07:04, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

 * As the original author of the page (and a rookie wikipedia editor), I agree that the information is not full enough to have an article by itself. It can be merged into a subtopic of a previous generation GeForce page (either 700 or 800) Rgrasmus (talk) 14:30, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Thing is, that's not really appropriate. For starters, neither of those have been released, so talk of a "successor" is very premature. Secondly, this article is solely sourced to an NVidia blog post - not even an official roadmap on their website, or in a press release. That's not to say that you couldn't source it better, but I didn't bother looking as this is way in the future. Thirdly, if any information was to be located, then it may belong in the main GeForce article - but as it's all speculation (and, seemingly, quite wild speculation as well), then it's not really appropriate to do that either. It's also completely pointless having this userfied (it would have to stay there for at least 2 years; may as well start from scratch when it comes closer to the release date.)

 * Also, apologies if it looks like I'm being unduly harsh; I was not aware you were a lesser experienced Wikipedia editor, and hopefully this experience won't put you off making other articles. If you want any help, feel free to ask me, or any tame administrator. :) Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 15:03, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
 * No worries. It seems that someone had changed my reference article from an Engadget article to the nVidia blog. The engadget one is here. It was from a talk given by the CEO of the company. The Volta architecture is listed under the GPU Roadmap in the second image. The two main faults with this current article that I agree with are that the Volta architecture has not been announced as the formal GeForce 900 series and the 2016 release date is merely interpolated.

 * What do you think of making the page a redirect to GeForce? Rgrasmus (talk) 17:22, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
 * That source is much better, and that redirect would be perfectly valid, assuming a brief mention in that section is made. I'd leave out mention of the release date for now, though, unless there's a half-decent source with their vague estimate at one. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 19:21, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
 * It is not yet the typical 7 days, but I don't think anyone else will be contributing to the discussion and we both agree to replace the existing page with a redirect to the GeForce section (along with some minor updates to that section). What is the process for closing the discussion? I will hold off on creating the redirect until the discussion is formally closed. Rgrasmus (talk) 15:56, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
 * As you're the author of the page, if you redirect it now, I'll then shut the AfD. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 16:12, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
