Delete lacks notability and per WP:CRYSTAL for a future release. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:35, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom. Jezhotwells (talk) 01:02, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect - unless anyone objects I'll be bold and bump this as a redirect to the article already written about this gaming series - IL-2 Sturmovik (video game) DiverScout (talk) 09:52, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep  IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey Coming To Consoles - Kotaku, IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey Hands-On - GameSpot, IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey Preview - GameSpy, Official site, IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey First Look - IGN, IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey Preview - TeamXbox, IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey Preview - GamesRadar, IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey Preview - GameZone, Captain Blood and IL-2: Sturmovik: Birds of Prey Revealed - TeamXbox, IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey Preview - GamingExcellence and First Look – IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey - Gamersinfo Therefore this article passes Notability and Crystal. If this fails Crystal then please nominate all the upcoming games for deletion too. To the point if anyone is interested in improving the article here are the links. Thank you.--SkyWalker (talk) 14:34, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep – one need not go far to find significant coverage via reliable secondary sources. Remember that it doesn't fail WP:CRYSTAL if it's verifiable speculation. MuZemike 17:25, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep passes notability by a mile and disappears over the hill. Mystic Meg doesn't come into it since notability is not temporary, whether it's a future game or vapourware or released it's still well documented by multiple video game journalists, at least some of whom have had 'hands on' experience with it.

 * Keep&tag for improvement & expansion. Enough reliable sources cover the game to allow writing a sourced and verifiable article. MLauba (talk) 21:28, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. This game clearly exists and has been the subject of a great deal of discussion in reliable sources; that it isn't done is immaterial. There's little prediction here, but lots of commentary on unfinished work. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire - past ops) 00:39, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep meets notability standard given that the predecessor product (IL-2 Sturmovik) is class-leading, and does not break WP:CRYSTAL as there is coverage in reliable third-party sources. Cynical (talk) 16:06, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
