[edit] GTA V

GTA V (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Pure speculation about a video game, fails WP:CRYSTAL. Previous game only came out within the last month. TN‑X-Man 02:44, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:CRYSTAL, no info exists yet. And why the heck is it semi-protected? Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 02:47, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per above, or redirect to Grand Theft Auto (series) for the time being. -- Comandante {Talk} 02:56, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been added to the list of video game related deletions. -- Comandante {Talk} 03:07, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

• Redirect to Grand Theft Auto (series) (ideally to a section about future games), fully protect this one. I suspect we'll otherwise fall into the create/delete cycle if there isn't something there, but nowhere close enough to justify an article at this point. --MASEM 03:13, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
• Redirect - per Masem --T-rex 03:28, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
• Delete WP:CRYSTAL, too soon to call considering that Grand Theft Auto IV only came out on April 29. Wait a while, there is no deadline to Wikipedia Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 04:16, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

• Redirect GTA 4 has just been released. There is no info regarding GTA 5. --SkyWalker (talk) 07:25, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

• Delete and protect from recreation. Do not redirect, there is no reasonable place to redirect this to as the game isn't even in production yet. JBsupreme (talk) 04:57, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

• Redirect per Masem, knowing the frachises success, it'll come out eventually. MrMarkTaylor ^{What's that?/my contribs/e-mail me} 06:07, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
• Redirect per Masem. No reliable information regarding this game exists... yet. Una Laguna^Talk 06:20, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

• Delete No information regarding this game yet. Dan the Man1983 (talk) 06:51, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
• Delete and protect from re-creation as per above. --.:Alex:. 16:15, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
• Delete - WP:CRYSTAL, WP:NOR. I don't think salting is really necessary though. Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 04:45, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, but Masem had an excellent point about falling into a create/delete cycle, as this is exactly what happened with GTA IV way before the game was announced (before conception even I think) and I have no doubt in my mind that this will happen again. --.:Alex:. 16:10, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Yea, based on my experience with the guitar hero series, once there's a mention of this by a reasonable source, people are going to try to create it if it's not there. Obviously I wouldn't recommend GTA VI, PlayStation 4, or the like since there's no sourceable reliable mentions. --MASEM 23:20, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough. I'll leave it to the closing administrator's judgment. Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 04:43, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

• Delete, no redirect per WP:CRYSTAL. GTA V is going to be awesome though. Fin©™ 16:46, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
