[edit] Landore the game
Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. This game is not finished or released. Joyous | Talk 03:11, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:NOT NSLE (讨论+extra) 08:24, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. I liked this line the best: Landore is not a copyrighted idea, but it will be soon, so trying to steal the ideas will end up in a federal suit. If he doesn't want people stealing an uncopyrighted idea, why would be put it on Wikipedia? JHMM13 08:55, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

- Delete. And I've been in federal suit before- I think it looked pretty good, all told.--Sean|Black 08:59, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
- Comment Users should be aware that the phrase "Wikipedia is not a crystal ball" is misleading. The policy statements which follow it do not prohibit articles about future events, and Wikipedia contains a very large number of such articles. CalJW 10:22, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
- Quite correct. It's acceptable to have articles about future events when there's a good amount of verifiable information available. For example, Super Bowl XL or Football World Cup 2006. However, when there's very little verifiable information available, it's often better to hold off on writing an article. Carbonite | Talk 10:32, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
- Delete: Also, remember that some of us take a harder line than the "Crystal ball" statement. All that is verifiable about World Cup 2006 is that there are plans, and the plans are present tense. The future is unwritten, and articles about the future should be the same. An article about List of expected games in 2007 might have this title or another, but that article would be about the present, about the expectations now present, and not about anything in 2007.
