Sonic Generations

 * – ( View AfD View log )
 * Edit: Also, listing

WP:BALL. See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games for a more elaborate rationale. Basically, enough here is speculation, including the name, to warrant listing. All that is known is there will be a game celebrating Sonic's 20th Anniversary. So the appropriate section on Sonic the Hedgehog (series) can hold such information.  « ₣M₣ »  03:26, 15 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - There is no announcement of a game titled as this. It's purely WP:OR, assigning an untitled trailer to recently registered website domain or trademark or something. Sergecross73   msg me   03:09, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - Sonic (2011 video game) - This article is about the same trailer, assigning another title to it that is purely WP:OR. It should be deleted on the same grounds. Sergecross73   msg me   03:12, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete both as per WP:CRYSTAL and WP:HAMMER, with no prejudice to recreation as and when significant coverage in reliable sources appears. Catfish Jim   &#38; the soapdish  14:44, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It was even worse when I first came across the article. An editor tried to use a forum post from a fansite, that contained a picture of "Sonic 20th Anniversary Wii-Mote holder" as proof of a Wii version of the game. So many things wrong with that.

I have deleted Sonic (2011 video game) per WP:CSD as it is virtually the exact same article as Sonic Generations sans the image. –MuZemike 22:56, 16 April 2011 (UTC)  « ₣M₣ »  20:23, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Strong, overriding keep IGN is now covering this. The article is a stub. http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/116/1162323p1.html 86.148.51.62 (talk) 16:34, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the source. The article stays; however, as you said, it needs expanding. - w ANINOKOZ  ♪♫♪ 16:48, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep As supported by this link - http://blogs.sega.com/usa/2011/04/18/celebrate-20-years-of-sonic-with-sonic-generations/ 81.135.63.55 (talk) 17:41, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - I originally voted to delete both articles, but now more information about the game has been officially revealed, including the actual title, this particular article shouldn't be deleted. - w ANINOKOZ  ♪♫♪ 18:08, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Now that the game's been officially announced and supporting information has surfaced, there's absolutely no reason why the article should be considered for deletion. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 18:20, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - Just enough to be a split article. It would be best to gather more sources and try and make some more content, just to validate that it needs its own article. Blake (Talk·Edits) 19:03, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - No point deleting it since it has been confirmed to exist, and more information has been confirmed to be coming in the next few weeks/months. Evilgidgit (talk) 19:19, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep It's a real game seen here as reported by IGN, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tV1Osnkr5Nc&feature=feedu ScienceApe (talk) 19:43, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
