Disputed WP:PROD - Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, we don't deal in rumours. Nancy talk  16:01, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. No prejudice against recreation once a reliable source (that is, in this case, not a rumour mill) can be found. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 17:01, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Have you seen the rolling stones magazine link on the talk page? α§ʈάt̪íňέ-210 discovered elements ∞ what am I? 20:28, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * That source states plainly that it is reporting a rumour, thereby making it unacceptable here. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 23:12, 16 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. This article goes above and beyond the "beta/demo" and "before the game has come out" cases; we don't even know if it's actually in production ("rumored to be"?). Elm-39 - T/C 17:02, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Poor Sources, and Wikipedia doesn't deal with rumours --Numyht (talk) 18:10, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Please explain why the template futuregame and others are used. α§ʈάt̪íňέ-210 discovered elements ∞ what am I? 20:26, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Future games template is for game that will happen porviding that they can be sourced. This however isnt. --Numyht (talk) 12:00, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - The rumors are unavoidable, but there's no need for a game page until there's a much more reliable source to confirm this is in the works. (It's also rumored under a different name as well).  A protected redirect to Guitar Hero would be reasonably advisable. --M ASEM  (t) 19:04, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, crystal ball. MuZemike 19:31, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:CRYSTAL T-95 (talk) 20:16, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Very strong keep Has sources and is going to come out. See my contest of the speedy on the talk page. α§ʈάt̪íňέ-210 discovered elements ∞ what am I? 20:25, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Every source I can find prefaces with "reportedly" or "rumour has it", which does not qualify as reliable IMO. No prejudice at all against recreation when there is an actual announcement.  Grandmartin11 (talk) 23:31, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:Crystal - we don't have articles based on rumours. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess) | (talk to me) | (What I've done)  20:53, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
