[edit] Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent

No name yet exists for this video game. This is just fan speculation. An article was already started at Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell 4 anyway. Both of which may fall under crystal ball. Since posting on AFD, it has been confirmed [1]. I performed a move/delete of Splinter Cell 4 to this page. Change vote to Speedy keep. K1Bond007 18:08, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, WP:NOT a crystal ball  RasputinAXP  _{talk contribs} 22:56, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Its the official title of the Splinter Cell 4 now. Obviously the SC4 article needs to be moved here. Thunderbrand 21:51, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. If this goes, so should 2006. Matt Yeager 01:01, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
• Shouldn't Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell 4 bemoved to Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell 4: Double Agent instead of here? - Mgm|^(talk) 10:44, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

It's just called Tom Clany's Splinter Cell: Double Agent. It doesn't use the number 4. Thunderbrand 13:18, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete until the game is released the article is nothing more than a placeholder and speculation. Still have possibility of becoming vaporware. Peyna 13:46, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The name has been confirmed, and the Splinter Cell 4 article has already been moved there. Mushroom 18:25, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete The page is nothing but fan speculation as Ubisoft hasn't officially disclosed complete details of the game. Wiki doesn't need to become a GameFaqs board. TotalTommyTerror 15:31, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Why don't we delete 2008 Summer Olympics then? Isn't that speculation? We have even 2020 Summer Olympics. The game has an official site that is linked from the Ubisoft site and an official name (now confirmed). If we deleted this article we would have to recreate it in a few months. Mushroom 15:49, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Because on the game's page the information there is completely fan-speculation. It's just what people have been conjuring up on fan forums as opposed to say, The Olympic Committee releasing details on an upcoming event. If Ubisoft had released any more official information on the game then I'd vote for a keep. TotalTommyTerror 19:59, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
      • Then we could just keep it and remove any non-official information. The article already references [2] which is official. And the Game Informer preview linked below can be used as a source. It can be improved, there's no need to delete it. Mushroom 10:21, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. All information contained on the page is offical, most of which coming from press cuttings based on interviews with Ubisoft staff. The latest edition of Game Informer containing a preview of Double Agent is good evidence of this, along with the latest single player trailer for Double Agent. Scan of Game Informer, [3]. Latest game trailer, [4]--Factorylad 22:13, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The article clearly states that it may contain "information of a speculative nature". This includes the title of the game, as well as plot details, etc... The game has been officially announced so there is no reason to delete the article at this time. SnakeSoldier 16:03 , 16 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep additional slippery slope comparison. if we delete this, why not delete Book of Revelations because that is speculation. plus, the game, called Splinter Cell: Double Agent was on the front page of one of the recent Game Informers. --Phil 01:09, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Name recently reveiled, appeared in various magazines. 70.224.93.190 03:49, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
