Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic III
This article is entirely unreferenced and purely speculative. John254 21:04, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, and the article itself states that this game isn't even being planned, just something a company "wants to do" or some such. Find a press announcement about it actually being worked on, and perhaps an article could be made then. -Markeer 21:21, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. WP:NOT clearly confirms the "not a crystal ball" collective. Also, this article is sort of fan-oriented, n'est-ce pas? David Spalding Talk / Contribs 21:35, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep a uk gaming magazine printed a list of forthcoming Xbox 360 titles, including KOTOR III, i added more info and the gaming chart thing Bazel 23:46, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
 * The screen shot was actually from KOTOR II. Alec 04:25, 1 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete Surely it cannot be notable until, and unless, it exists?--Anthony.bradbury 23:48, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete if only because we might as well blank and start over. The quality of the article is relatively poor. FrozenPurpleCube 23:55, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I think that we should keep it. I agree that it doesn't have much information yet, but it should stay there so we can add more info to it as it comes out. Also, People might want to know a bit about it, such as if KOTOR III is even being talked about. Even if it doesn't say much about the plot. Yet. Aero Flame 00:01, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Take a look at this: (I didn't find/type it, it was posted on the KOTOR page).

"Hope for the series has been renewed with a statement made by Nancy MacIntyre, VP of global sales and marketing for LucasArts, who recently said that neither the KOTOR series, nor the Star Wars: Battlefront series will be left behind. [1]"
 * Keep I think we should keep it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.67.131.151 (talk • contribs) 00:14, 26 November 2006
 * Keep I have improved the page a lot. (I also, wasn't the one who added the extra bit typed in the KOTOR page). Also, I did not add the External links section, and some of the content above it. Aero Flame 00:21, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete A game that is only rumored to exist isn't notable. If and when there is an official announcement then maybe it would be worth of an article. --Micpp 00:37, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete WP is not a crystal ball. IF this game gets officially announced, then the page can be recreated. TJ Spyke 02:12, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete I believe that there is a rather clear precedent here. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball and we rarely keep articles on upcoming games/movies/books/albums unless there is a substantial amount of information already available on them.  Even if one can verify that the game is in production, there still shouldn't be an article until there is a significant amount of info about it.  --The Way 06:55, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep Take a look at this!
 * Delete all the sources state it's a rumour, nothing more. -- E ivind t@c 00:13, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete speculative at best, with no substantiated information from reliable sources.  A single quote from a PR rep who is covering his bases is no basis for an article. Fails WP:V and WP:RS in addition to all the crystal balling.-- Whpq 17:35, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Whisp e ring 20:18, 27 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete There is no real official confirmation of its existence, only teasing from executives. The quotes mentioned would fit in with the KOTOR I and KOTOR II pages. Having a separate page for the speculation adds nothing.  Alec 00:14, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom; WP:CRYSTAL. An article can be created if/when the title is officially announced by a developer or publisher. --Muchness 00:58, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Wookieepedia. -LtNOWIS 02:04, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - There aren't reliable sources for this and the title has not been announced officially. Canderous Ordo 15:35, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Markeer.--KrossTalk 02:21, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete What's the point of this article except saying it might exist. Lets wait until there is an official announcement. User:Nightjim
 * Keep Video game is likely to reach release. There are a number of reports from credible sources out there. This article needs to be tagged. Not deleted. The Filmaker 18:48, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I agree that it is very likely KOTOR III will indeed be released, however there has been no official announcement (that I am aware of), aside from the constantly reiterated comment from Nancy MacIntyre which has spawned what is still in essence just a rumor. Alec 22:36, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * How is that not an official announcement? It is not a formal announcement. But it is straight from the mouth of someone from Lucasarts. It is considered to be highly unlikely that the game will not be made and it has had an announcement of sorts. I think that's grounds for this article to be kept. The Filmaker 22:49, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * She didn't say that KOTOR III was in the works, only that they want to continue the franchise. A simple statement on the KOTOR/KOTOR II pages about the probability of a sequel is sufficient for now, since there is no information publicly known about the game. Alec 04:15, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
