About a game that has yet to be fully released. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk)]] 16:49, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)


 * Keep. Game is notable in some circles, and this is a valid stub. Darksun 18:20, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's not notable, it hasn't been released, and its article is very poorly written, reading like an advert. --Improv 19:18, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * I'm going to say very weak keep, since its likely that this will be more notable eventually. &mdash; siro  &chi;  o  23:35, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a fortune teller. If/when it gets released and becomes notable, a new article can be written. Alexa hasn't heard of the game's Website, www.lost.no (probably because it has no content besides a couple links and 'coming soon' type message), and the creator's site gets "Traffic Rank for infernalstudios.com: 3,510,454".

 * Delete. Advert for unreleased product.   &mdash; Gwalla | Talk 02:59, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * keep but rewrite completely. Or mark as a non-neutral stub for now. If "there is a lot of information already available", that should be found, summarised, wikified and used to expand the article beyond stub status.
 * Delete. From Niteowlneils comments, this does not appear to be coming out of a major software studio, so it will rely on it being very good to achieve any notability, and that is by no means guaranteed. Average Earthman 10:59, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: It does not exist yet, and it's not Fallout 3 or Half Life 2 or something. I.e. it's not one of those games notable for not having been released.  When it is released and attracts hordes of fans, we'll need an article on it, but not now, not as a press release. Geogre 13:39, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)
