AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

A pretty clear violation of WP:CRYSTAL. No reliable third-party sources present. On the  other side  Contribs 23:56, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment It also seems that this article was nominated for deletion before (the result obviously being delete). -- On the  other side  Contribs 23:57, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete.. No sources whatsoever. Non notable. Fattyjwoods  ( Push my button  ) 00:02, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete per what WP:CSD? The DominatorTalkEdits 03:34, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * As per CSD G4 as a repost of an orginally deleted page. No reliable sources that exactly explains what Xbox 3 is going to be like or a definite time that its going to come out. The sources indicated are barely rumours. Fattyjwoods  ( Push my button  ) 07:30, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I think you should change your vote to "delete" as I don't believe G4 applies here, while I don't have access to the deleted article, I don't think it was identical to this one. The DominatorTalkEdits 13:24, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep This isn't 2006 anymore, and a quick google search has brought up a number of references which I am adding to the article. --Deadly&forall;ssassin(talk) 00:03, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't think the references you've provided can be considered "reliable." In the third reference (titled "First talk of Xbox 3 emerges") the first two words are "Rumors claim..." and that's all this is right now, a rumor. It's still too early. -- On the  other side  Contribs 00:17, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete All info is in the article is based on rumors and speculation (even the sources say that they are based on rumors); also violates WP:CRYSTAL, highly unlikely anything substantive will be added for another few years anyway. -- Comandante    { Talk }  00:24, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete WP:CRYSTAL.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 00:36, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 *  Speedy Strong Delete per everyone above. Mister Senseless&trade; (Speak - Contributions) 00:47, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Nobody above gave a valid WP:CSD and neither have you. The DominatorTalkEdits 03:34, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. It's bound to get recreated sooner or later and it does no harm keeping it here and adding more as available information warrants. And about the present state of the article I suspect more has been said about the third Xbox than that, we don't have a deadline and the article can be expanded. +Hexagon1 (t) 01:23, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Completely speculative - every single source listed is simply reporting on rumors - even the name is a placeholder. An article on this topic will probably be warranted eventually, but it'll have nothing in common with this one, and will probably have a different name anyways. There is no deadline; we can (and should!) wait to write articles on upcoming topics until adequate sources are available. Zetawoof(&zeta;) 01:55, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect To a new section in Microsoft Game Studios as a possible project. MalwareSmarts (talk) 02:19, 12 April 2008 (UTC) What was I thinking! Delete per WP:CRYSTAL MalwareSmarts (talk) 02:21, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Obvious crystalballery. Claims that this does no harm are unfounded since it's both a terrible argument and untrue as placing rumors on Wikipedia as if they were fact negates the whole idea of this being an encyclopedia. JuJube (talk) 06:57, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Textbook example of WP:CRYSTAL. The Dominator<tt>TalkEdits</tt> 13:24, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Notable the minute its semi-announced, but not quite yet. Redirect back to Xbox2 sequel or whatever in that article is the best home for it. Lawrence  §  t / e  21:38, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
