System Shock 3

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

PRODded with the rationale: The phrases "a rumored game", "very little information is avalible [sic]" say it all, really; WP:CRYSTAL.. However, the article was previously deleted via prod; re-prodding is invalid, so to AfD we go. Nonetheless, I agree with the prodder's reasoning, and will add that a Google search turns up a lot of hits, but mostly unreliable sources or very trivial mentions of the rumor. Some sources describe BioShock as essentially a System Shock 3 (to the extent that it is a spiritual successor), but that designation is by no means official, and is meant in a different context from a direct sequel, so a redirect would be confusingly inappropriate. Can anyone find any reliable sources to substantiate the development of an actual System Shock 3? If not, delete per lack of reliable sources and the fact that Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. — TKD::Talk 16:38, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. With the release of BioShock, anything talking about System Shock 3 is tripping balls. TheLetterM 17:18, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * REDIRECT to BioShock as a name used by some press and enthusiasts. 132.205.44.5 22:15, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete - Virtually no new info beyond the rumor reported on various sites over a year ago.--Drat (Talk) 13:26, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and protect - until actually verifiable info comes in (which probably won't happen), this article is a waste of server space and blatently violates WP:CRYSTAL. On top of that, BioShock is almost a System Shock 3 anyway (anyone who's read the article or finished the game and played a SS title will understand), but it wouldn't make sense to redirect SS3 to BioShock (officially it's a SPIRITUAL successor). --L337 kybldmstr 05:46, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
