Live Free or Die Hard (video game)

"Nothing is known about the game" - therefore it can't be notable! Prod was contested so I am nominating it for deletion via AFD B1atv 15:30, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Keep: It's coming out. It's been ESRB rated, has a developer (Sensory Sweep Studios), a publisher (Vivendi) and has been widely reported. You'll just end up having to write the entire article again when it does come out. Nothing was known about Poker Smash for months, too. Just because it's not coming out NOW!!!!!!!! doesn't mean it's not notable. JAF1970 15:32, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, that's fine. When it does come out and/or has a confirmed release date and can otherwise be substantiated for existence, then it can have an article.  Saying that we're just going to get it back when it's notable is not so much a straw-man argument as a "duh!". -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 19:14, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - If it has been "widely reported", perhaps you could include some of those reports in the article as per WP:Sources. Having a developer and publisher doesn't make a piece of software notable - every single piece of software has a developer and publisher.  Where are the sources for this?  What makes this a notable software as opposed to any other piece of software?  B1atv 15:55, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete: It's not so much about the game as about a rumor that a game may come out with that name. If there is something notable with that title, the article would have to be rewritten completely. -Steve Sanbeg 16:08, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. No, it's not coming out now (to note the currently sole keep !vote), but the problem is that it has no confirmed date other than this year - which is soon to come to a close.  As such, I'm not !voting delete because it is not coming out now, but because 1) there is no release date (only a year), 2) only rumors exist to the existence/development of this tie-in game (see the two articles), and 3) because, to quote the article in its current state, "nothing is known about the game" beyond an ESRB rating and a year of release. Even if you deal with 2 and 3, you still have 1, and even then, that release date absolutely, positively must be substantiated. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 19:12, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete WP isn't a gaming news service, if half of what can be said about a title is "we don't know anything" then there's obviously no need for an article. As soon as tangible details appear construction of an actual article can begin. Someone another 07:00, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - stripped of speculation, there isn't really an article. -- Whpq 19:39, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
