Next Island

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested ProD, MMORPG that isn't out of beta testing yet isn't even in beta testing yet (see edit summary for removing the ProD tag in the article's history). The supplied sources are a press release and a few blog entries - none are third-party non-trivial sources. Google turns up an official website and nothing else related, gnews and the gnews archive turns up nothing whatsoever.

Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, this can be re-added once the game goes live, and has non-trivial coverage. - 2 ... says you, says me, suggestion box 20:53, 3 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. Let's wait till it has some coverage in reliable sources. Fences and windows (talk) 23:40, 3 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Author Comment (moved from above the AfD links by 2) This MMORPG will be the first MMORPG use CryEngine2 technology which accord to a Wik entry is one of the most significant 3D technology development. Nothing has been released to the press until the recent LA Games Conference that just ended last week.  Wikipedia  is not a crystal ball, but you can assume that Star Trek (great script and director) will be a successful movie next week based on it's DNA.  Next Island's DNA will be CryEngine2 (great proven technology) and a new world within Entropia Universe (great business success by Mindark).  That is great DNA and like Star Trek - a great success for this coming 3D MMORPG.   - (Charles Dong (talk) 23:21, 3 May 2009 (UTC)) Charles  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Charles Dong (talk • contribs) 22:40, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. We can cover the new Star Trek movie because it's mentioned in detail in numerous independent, reliable sources. Until Next Island achieves the same, it doesn't meet the notability criteria. Somno (talk) 06:30, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as crystalballery. That is, unless one can find coverage via reliable secondary sources. Otherwise, it's unverifiable speculation – what Wikipedia is not. MuZemike 01:49, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
