The result was '''delete'''. Notability is conferred by multiple, secondary, independent sources - it is not inherited from the fact that it is part of a series per [[WP:INHERIT]], which invalidates about half the points made within this discussion. Those favouring retention have failed to adequately address the concerns of those favouring deletion. Per [[WP:DGFA|analysis following the deletion guidelines for administrators]], I assess that consensus here is to delete.

*Who exactly are you talking to? [[User:Haipa Doragon|Haipa Doragon]] ([[User talk:Haipa Doragon|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Haipa Doragon|contributions]]) 21:22, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
*<s>'''Strong Keep'''. Confirmed in Miyamoto interview yesterday night. The gaming press (Gamespot, IGN) have already started covering it. '''<span style="background:Blue;color:FireBrick"> [[User:Marlith|<
**'''Merge'''. The game does indeed exist, but the appearance of many primary sources and a lack of concrete information make me uneasy with the existence of this article. '''<span style="background:Blue;color:FireBrick"> [[User:Marlith|<span style="color:Orange;">Marlith</span>]][[User talk:Marlith|<span style="color:Orange;"> (Talk)</span>]] </span>''' 15:48, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
*'''Weak keep''': The article needs work, but is a legitimately confirmed entry in a major video game series whose existance and development was explicitly revealed. The article needs to be completely rewritten, with more sources than just IGN, and possibly a rename, but I think it should stay. If this is not feasible, I propose merging into its own section at [[List of The Legend of Zelda games]]. [[User:ShadowUltra|ShadowUltra]] ([[User talk:ShadowUltra|talk]]) 20:39, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
*:'''Response''' However, eventually, this will need to have its own article. I would agree that the article itself needs major work to become a verifiable stub. We should consider moving this page to a more appropiate name. '''<span style="background:Blue;color:FireBrick"> [[User:Marlith|<
**I've updated the article to make it a little more presentable. [[User:ShadowUltra|ShadowUltra]] ([[User talk:ShadowUltra|talk]]) 19:08, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
***I've just added the official artwork of the game released by Nintendo. I'd say, at this point, we have enough information to confirm a solid existance of the title and that it deserves its own page, albeit under a different name (I propose [[The Legend of Zelda (Wii)]], as that is the title on the concept artwork, though will obviously not be the final title).

* '''Weak keep'''. It's clearly notable and what we have is a decent referenced stub that can only grow. I don't buy the argument that this won't change until next year; developers and publishers give out teaser information in interviews all the time as part of the normal hyping process. Then again, this could probably be located in the series page and serve the same purpose without much harm, but we'll just end up recreating this page later (possibly without the benefit of its history information). <span style="font-size: 10px">— [[User:Brighterorange|<span style="padding : 0px 1px 1px 1px; border : 1px solid #FFE7B0; background: #FFFFFF ; color: #FF9600">brighterorange</span>]] ([[User_talk:Brighterorange|talk]])</span> 23:30, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
* '''Comment''' Ive had this discussion under the exact same circumstances regarding [[Dragon Quest X]] initially i felt a merge into the main series article was appropriate but concensus pointed out to me that the article would be re created anyway if it were deleted shortly. The main fact of not deleting this article is that the game is confirmed and even though no additional details exist beyond that it 'exists' is seemingly enough for the internet to establish its notability. Secondary sources pick these up like crazy establishing notability basically because the topic is sought out information and popular. Which is why the page is likely to be re created anyway if it were to be deleted. Additionally Movies that are not in principal photography ([[WP:NFF]]) generally warrent deletion based on simplified wiki guidlines, however; a more popular movie will again establish notability with secondary sources. I think unless this movie guidline spreads to video games as well theres no justification to delete the article. If I am missing anything crucial here like a policy im unaware of please inform me, thanks [[User:Ottawa4ever|Ottawa4ever]] ([[User talk:Ottawa4ever|talk]]) 01:20, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
* Merge into Zelda (series) until there is a title and a release date/window. [[User:Wikipedian06|Wikipedian06]] ([[User talk:Wikipedian06|talk]]) 08:18, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' - one can't build an article on press releases and speculation. [[User:Marasmusine|Marasmusine]] ([[User talk:Marasmusine|talk]]) 09:56, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
*'''Comment''' - What, exactly, is the rationale for deletion here? I can't find one. [[User:DitzyNizzy|<span style="color:purple">DitzyNizzy (aka Jess)</span>]]|[[User_talk:DitzyNizzy|<span style="color:purple">(talk to me)</span>]]|[[Special:Contributions/DitzyNizzy|<span style="color:purple">(What I've done)</span>]] 14:12, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
* '''Keep'''. There's no rationale for deleting the page. The game has been confirmed by Miyamoto, and official artwork has been made. Keep the page for now, when the game has been given a title, merge all relevant information into the new article. [[User:ScienceApe|ScienceApe]] ([[User talk:ScienceApe|talk]]) 19:15, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
**The rationale for deleting the page is due to the lack of [[WP:RS|reliable sources]]; the only real-world content present at the moment to establish [[WP:N|notability]] is a few news articles and some baseless speculation, all of which make this a [[WP:STUB|stub]] and can be comfortably merged into [[The Legend of Zelda (series)]]. The mere fact that the game has been confirmed doesn't necessarily justify an article for it. [[User:Haipa Doragon|Haipa Doragon]] ([[User talk:Haipa Doragon|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Haipa Doragon|contributions]]) 19:57, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
***Both Gamespot and IGN have confirmed the game from Miyamoto, creator of the Legend of Zelda series. Both are reliable sources. [[User:ScienceApe|ScienceApe]] ([[User talk:ScienceApe|talk]]) 21:38, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
****I know that; aside from all these confirmed details about the game, though, which are all regurgitations of [[WP:PSTS|primary sources]] such as the details provided to journalists by Miyamoto, there's little [[WP:IS|independent sourcing]] to show real-world significance. Unless these secondary sources which are currently cited actually provide any independent insight onto the topic being covered, they show little such real-world significance. [[User:Haipa Doragon|Haipa Doragon]] ([[User talk:Haipa Doragon|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Haipa Doragon|contributions]]) 22:17, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
*****Gamespot and IGN are independent, and reliable. The game has been confirmed for development. That is all that is necessary for an article, the confirmed game is notable. [[User:ScienceApe|ScienceApe]] ([[User talk:ScienceApe|talk]]) 04:45, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
*'''Redirect''' for now into a relevant sub-section of [[The Legend of Zelda (series)]]. Note that this is just for the time being, and I'm sure in the near future this tentative game will have its own article. [[User:Master&Expert|'''<span style="color:Blue">Master&</span>'''<span style="color:#00FFFF">Expert</span>]] ([[User talk:Master&Expert|<span style="color:purple">Talk</span>]]) 23:42, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' – (edit conflict) This has already been mentioned in the [[The Legend of Zelda (series)#Games|''Zelda'' series]] article, so merging or redirection would not make sense. Otherwise, unlike the other games announced at E3, all the sources tell us is that Nintendo is making another Zelda game and that Shigeru Miyamoto has confirmed it. The rest of the content presented is only speculative or is based on Miyamoto's speculations about the direction of the game. [[WP:CRYSTAL|Wikipedia is not a crystal ball]]. Once more information comes, such as a name, a more definite release date, and more concrete non-speculative details about the game, then it could be spun out of the Zelda series article. [[User talk:MuZemike|MuZemike]] 23:46, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
*'''Merge''' into [[The Legend of Zelda (series)]]. Currently, there's nothing in [[Untitled Zelda Project|the article]] that isn't covered adequately in the [[The Legend of Zelda (series)|main]] one. The information isn't covered to an extent or depth that warrants a new article. Merging with [[The Legend of Zelda (series)]] will allow editors to adequately update information as time goes on, eventually expanding it into its own article. Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Future_event|purpose]] isn't to hold an ever-increasing amount of [[Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_crystal_ball|placeholders]] ~ [[User:Amorymeltzer|Amory]] ([[User talk:Amorymeltzer|talk]]) 04:40, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' - It's a new Zelda game and a page for the game will be created in short order anyway. And if it's really coming in 2010, as Miyamoto has said, Nintendo will be announcing a lot more very soon. Possibly at TGS in the fall. [[User talk:KingJFS|KingJFS]] 18:07, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
**Whether or not you think it has potential for expansion ''in the future'' is irrelevant; [[WP:CRYSTAL]], we should be dealing with what is available at present, and there's currently no indication at present that such information ''will'' come in the near future. It's coming in 2010, so the significant real-world coverage will likely come by then, ''at which point'' there will likely be a justification for an article. We don't keep article on an arbitrary basis that sources may one day turn up for them. [[User:Haipa Doragon|Haipa Doragon]] ([[User talk:Haipa Doragon|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Haipa Doragon|contributions]]) 18:53, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
***[[WP:CRYSTAL]] doesn't apply in this case because the game doesn't actually have to ever come out, it just has to be confirmed, and be notable. See the articles on [[Super Mario 128]], [[Starfox 2]], and [[Duke Nukem Forever]]. None of these games were ever released, but they are notable regardless. If the game were canceled at this very moment, the fact that a Zelda Wii game was going to come out is interesting enough to warrant an article especially with official artwork depicting Link with a new character. I agree that there isn't a lot of information right now, but the amount of information currently available is enough for an article. [[User:ScienceApe|ScienceApe]] ([[User talk:ScienceApe|talk]]) 04:45, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
****There's a difference between this article and those: they are all covered in significant detail by [[WP:PSTS|secondary sources]]. All we have for this article are an interview or two and a few confirmed details from E3, and there is no indication that the article will develop anywhere beyond a [[WP:STUB|stub]] any time soon. To put it into perspective, if there's no chance, with the sources that currently exist, that the article will develop to [[WP:FA]] or [[WP:GA]] quality, Wikipedia probably shouldn't have an article on it. Certainly, with all the sources so far equating to a stub and no indication that the article can develop beyond that, there is little justification for this to be separate from the series article. [[User:Haipa Doragon|Haipa Doragon]] ([[User talk:Haipa Doragon|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Haipa Doragon|contributions]]) 12:17, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
*****Again, I think there's enough information for an article. There are several sources cited right now. I don't believe the argument "the article has to develop into [[WP:FA]] quality" is criteria for wikipedia to have an article on it. As I mentioned before, even if no other information is ever released, the fact that this game was going to come out, and there's artwork to prove its existence and statements made by Miyamoto, is interesting and notable enough to warrant an article. See, [[Van Buren (Fallout 3)]] which was never finished or released. There's very little information on the title other than a rather brief plot of what the game was supposed to be about. There's only one secondary source (the other source cited has no information on Van Buren really), but the source is reliable. The article is still notable since the topic is interesting and notable. [[User:ScienceApe|ScienceApe]] ([[User talk:ScienceApe|talk]]) 15:06, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
******As I have stated, no amount of confirmations, statements, released artwork, or other information on Nintendo's part makes a subject notable. It needs ''[[WP:PSTS|secondary sources]]'' which "rely for their facts and opinions on primary sources, often to make analytic, synthetic, interpretive, explanatory, or evaluative claims." This article cites no such claims, and therefore fails to show [[WP:N|notability]]. [[User:Haipa Doragon|Haipa Doragon]] ([[User talk:Haipa Doragon|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Haipa Doragon|contributions]]) 15:57, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
*******No, the subject is already notable. The confirmations, statements, released artwork, and other information is what makes an article. A new Zelda game is notable regardless of your arguments. I have already pointed out the secondary sources. They are not primary sources as you seem to insist on claiming. Gamespot and IGN are independently verifiable. [[User:ScienceApe|ScienceApe]] ([[User talk:ScienceApe|talk]]) 19:33, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
********Let me cite [[WP:PSTS]] again; "Our policy: Wikipedia articles usually rely on material from secondary sources. Articles may include analytic, synthetic, interpretive, explanatory, or evaluative claims only if they have been published by a reliable secondary source." I see absolutely no such material cited in the article in question, and only regurgitations by secondary sources of content originally provided by primary sources. As WP:PSTS says, "Primary sources are sources very close to an event. For example, an account of a traffic accident written by a witness is a primary source of information about the accident." This is exactly what the secondary sources used in this article are doing; it is the independent insight on a subject that makes secondary sources useful for sourcing an article, not their mere ability to take information provided by Nintendo, Miyamoto, etc. and write it up in their own words. In essence, Wikipedia articles shouldn't just state what their subject is but how it is significant, and this one fails to do so. [[User:Haipa Doragon|Haipa Doragon]] ([[User talk:Haipa Doragon|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Haipa Doragon|contributions]]) 19:54, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
*********http://wii.ign.com/articles/992/992063p1.html Verifiable secondary source. You're just paddling up against a lot of evidence and sources here. [[User:ScienceApe|ScienceApe]] ([[User talk:ScienceApe|talk]]) 20:02, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
**********I'm still not seeing how this qualifies as "Significant coverage" per the [[WP:GNG]]. The presence of a bit of independent speculation in a couple of reputed, reliable sources still, as is evident by this article's size, does not constitute ''significant'' coverage. Frankly, if all the article can do to assert its subject's real-world context is cite a couple of speculative titbits from IGN and GameSpot, then it's not doing a whole lot to show its subject's significance. [[User:Haipa Doragon|Haipa Doragon]] ([[User talk:Haipa Doragon|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Haipa Doragon|contributions]]) 20:34, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
***********That wasn't your argument. Your argument was, "Our policy: Wikipedia articles usually rely on material from secondary sources. Articles may include analytic, synthetic, interpretive, explanatory, or evaluative claims only if they have been published by a reliable secondary source." The source I cited provides interpretive, analytic, and evaluative claims, and it is reliable and credible. Your argument was that you didn't see examples of such material cited in the article in question. I have just provided such examples, so the argument you have brought up has been refuted. The signficant coverage criteria was already explained to you. As has been pointed out several times, numerous sites have covered this game including, but not limited to Gamespot, IGN, Kotaku, Gamingtarget, gonintendo, and n-europe. [[User:ScienceApe|ScienceApe]] ([[User talk:ScienceApe|talk]]) 01:07, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
************The only real-world context this article shows is a brief sentence or two along the lines of "This has led some to speculate that the female character...". How exactly does this qualify as ''significant'' real-world coverage? If the only thing secondary sources can extract out of the subject at present is a bit of arbitrary speculation, there's little basis on which real-world context can be shown. [[User:Haipa Doragon|Haipa Doragon]] ([[User talk:Haipa Doragon|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Haipa Doragon|contributions]]) 12:36, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
*************I believe there is sufficient information and coverage for an article. Numerous websites have covered this game as I have pointed out, and there is enough information for an article. Your points have been refuted, you are just jumping from argument to argument at this point. You argued on the merit of [[WP:CRYSTAL]], and I refuted that argument. You asked for secondary sources, I pointed them out to you. You argued that, "Our policy: Wikipedia articles usually rely on material from secondary sources. Articles may include analytic, synthetic, interpretive, explanatory, or evaluative claims only if they have been published by a reliable secondary source.", and I provided such a source. [[User:ScienceApe|ScienceApe]] ([[User talk:ScienceApe|talk]]) 15:58, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
**************You haven't cited numerous sites, you've cited one, in which the only independent coverage and insight into the game is some vague speculation. "numerous sites have covered this game including, but not limited to Gamespot, IGN, Kotaku, Gamingtarget, gonintendo, and n-europe" does nothing to prove your case, as you have not directly cited what you are referring to. [[User:Haipa Doragon|Haipa Doragon]] ([[User talk:Haipa Doragon|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Haipa Doragon|contributions]]) 17:49, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
***************I didn't say I cited them, I said I pointed them out to you. Your argument was, "Our policy: Wikipedia articles usually rely on material from secondary sources. Articles may include analytic, synthetic, interpretive, explanatory, or evaluative claims only if they have been published by a reliable secondary source." and I provided a source that addresses that issue. If you want to classify the IGN's thoughts as "vague speculation" that's your choice, but it fits the criteria you were asking for whether you like it or not. Actually, numerous videogame websites covering the game DOES justify an article as they are secondary sources. The article cites these sources where appropriate. Read the article, then check the source cited yourself. That's how you verify citations. [[User:ScienceApe|ScienceApe]] ([[User talk:ScienceApe|talk]]) 02:13, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
(undent) I know quite well all of this. My entire point is that the only independent, cited coverage of the game so far that provides the "analytic, synthetic, interpretive, explanatory, or evaluative claims" is the IGN source with its speculation; this is the core of what constitutes notability. [[User:Haipa Doragon|Haipa Doragon]] ([[User talk:Haipa Doragon|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Haipa Doragon|contributions]]) 13:20, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
*'''Merge''' with [[The Legend of Zelda (series)]], there is some important info in this article that should be kept. But I don't think we know enough about the game yet to merit it's own article. If we do keep it though I don't think this is the best title, it's not "untitled" we just don't know the title yet. Most Zelda fans call it "Zelda Wii". [[User:Bucs|BUC]] ([[User talk:Bucs|talk]]) 07:57, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' There is no info on the game other than it exists, 1 piece of concept art, and that it MAY use Wii MotionPlus (if MotionPlus sells enough copies). '''<span style="border: 2px Maroon solid;background:#4682B4;font-family: Monotype Corsiva">[[User:TJ Spyke|<span style="color:Maroon;">TJ</span>]] [[User talk:TJ Spyke|<span style="color:Maroon;">Spyke</span>]]</span>''' 21:31, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
**Negative. There are ample sources cited in the article that indicates that the game very much does exist, and is in development. [[User:ScienceApe|ScienceApe]] ([[User talk:ScienceApe|talk]]) 01:07, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

****You're right. I misread. But as for the user's point, I do believe there is enough information on this game to warrant an article. The article is properly cited with reliable secondary sources. [[User:ScienceApe|ScienceApe]] ([[User talk:ScienceApe|talk]]) 15:58, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' without prejudice, fails [[WP:N]] and [[WP:CRYSTAL]]. -- [[User:Jelly Soup|Jelly Soup]] ([[User talk:Jelly Soup|talk]]) 01:35, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
**This argument was already covered. Please read the arguments made above.
***I've read both arguments and I saw nothing to solidly suggest that this article isn't a violation of [[WP:CRYSTAL]]. -- [[User:Jelly Soup|Jelly Soup]] ([[User talk:Jelly Soup|talk]]) 21:13, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
****It's not a violation of [[WP:CRYSTAL]] because the game doesn't have to ever come out. If the game was canceled right now, the fact that there was going to be a new Zelda game for the Wii is notable. [[Super Mario 128]] never came out, but it's still a notable topic that deserves an article. [[User:ScienceApe|ScienceApe]] ([[User talk:ScienceApe|talk]]) 02:13, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
*****Super Mario 128 has significant coverage in [[WP:PSTS|secondary sources]] (to say nothing of the primary ones), something this article lacks entirely. There is no indication that the article will be expanded (via sources) any time soon. In fact, I'd dare say the subject currently fails [[WP:N]]. -- [[User:Jelly Soup|Jelly Soup]] ([[User talk:Jelly Soup|talk]]) 15:40, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
******Not really. Not anymore than this article TBH. Just brief vague statements by Miyamoto, and not much else. See, [[Van Buren (Fallout 3)]] which was never finished or released. There's very little information on the title other than a rather brief plot of what the game was supposed to be about. There's only one secondary source (the other source cited has no information on Van Buren really), but the source is reliable. The article is still notable since the topic is interesting and notable. [[User:ScienceApe|ScienceApe]] ([[User talk:ScienceApe|talk]]) 22:16, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
*******A topic being interesting and allegedly notable does not make a given topic notable per [[WP:N]] in the least, mainly because, as others have told you a few different times already, ''notability is not inherited''. Regardless of how few sources Super Mario 128 has, it still has enough to pass the notability guidelines, this article does not. -- [[User:Jelly Soup|Jelly Soup]] ([[User talk:Jelly Soup|talk]]) 23:49, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
********That wasn't your argument. Your argument was that this is a violation of [[WP:CRYSTAL]], so I addressed that concern. The game is not a violation because the game never has to come out. It's already notable enough to deserve an article. Notability was established by the coverage the game has received in independent, reliable sources that are already cited in the article. So yes, this article has enough to pass notability guidelines even if the game were canceled now. [[User:ScienceApe|ScienceApe]] ([[User talk:ScienceApe|talk]]) 15:42, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
*********I was replying to your argument (why do you keep trying to turn things around?). Notability is established by primary and secondary sources. One of the the two primary sources is nothing but conjecture and there are no secondary sources, therefore this article fails the notability guidelines (I have amended my !vote to reflect this). It fails [[WP:CRYSTAL]] due to the fact that, without being able to pass [[WP:N]], the nature of the game is speculative at best. -- [[User:Jelly Soup|Jelly Soup]] ([[User talk:Jelly Soup|talk]]) 16:53, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
**********No, you abandoned your original argument and jumped to another that has already been discussed at length. Notability has already been established by a wide variety of sources. You also missed the point where I said speculation or conjecture is allowed if it is made by a reliable source, and isn't original research by wikipedia users. "Our policy: Wikipedia articles usually rely on material from secondary sources. Articles may include analytic, synthetic, interpretive, explanatory, or evaluative claims only if they have been published by a reliable secondary source." so yes the speculation is allowed if it is made by a reliable source like IGN. [[User:ScienceApe|ScienceApe]] ([[User talk:ScienceApe|talk]]) 19:45, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
***********Notability is only exhibited by IGN so far, as all other sources present nothing other than repetition of primary-source content and therefore constitute [[WP:PSTS|primary sources]] themselves. A brief statement saying "IGN has speculated that so-and-so might be so-and-so" is far from enough to establish ''significant'' real-world coverage. [[User:Haipa Doragon|Haipa Doragon]] ([[User talk:Haipa Doragon|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Haipa Doragon|contributions]]) 20:11, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
************I'm glad you finally concede notability has been exhibited in a reliable source like IGN. The other sources are not primary sources no matter how many times you repeat it. They aren't. A primary source would be Nintendo's website or Miyamoto's website. Not Gamespot, not go nintendo, not gamingtarget, etc. [[User:ScienceApe|ScienceApe]] ([[User talk:ScienceApe|talk]]) 22:22, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
*************I've been stating ''all along'' that IGN is the ''only'' secondary source provided; all others are "very close to an event" as per [[WP:PSTS]] as they all present content such as confirmed details, etc. as provided from primary sources such as Miyamoto, and not the "analytic, synthetic, interpretive, explanatory, or evaluative claims" necessary to constitute secondary sources. It is not merely ''being'' on a site such as IGN, GameSpot, etc. which makes a news article constitute a secondary source, but the ''content'' it contains, and very little has been shown to exist so far that could show real-world significance.

**************Even if what you are saying is true, Jelly Soup has just said a Primary source is needed anyway. So therefore, this article contains both secondary and primary sources, both of which are necessary for an article. If you believe the amount of information present is simply insufficient, I would recommend that you change your entire argument so that your objection to this article is only on that merit, and no other since we have covered the rest, and this article is not in violation of any notability criteria other than what you perceive as insufficient information.

***************Yes, primary sources are necessary, but they do pretty much nothing to establish notability; when the only shown real-world significance of a topic is a bit of speculation as exhibited by IGN, that does little to satisfy the "significant coverage" criteria of the [[WP:GNG|GNG]].

****************You already said that. What I told you to do was to change your rationale for deletion since you conceded that both Primary and Secondary sources do in fact exist. If you classify the analytical points made by the secondary source as "speculation", then I must point out that you are being disingenuous to readers to wikipedia policy as speculation is indeed allowed if made by credible sources.

*****************My rationale is based around the fact that the only secondary information provided is the speculation from IGN, which is insufficient to constitute "significant coverage" as per the [[WP:GNG|GNG]]. I'm quite aware of the existence of the primary sources, which are irrelevant to [[WP:N|notability]], and this secondary source, and it is my rationale that the speculative article by IGN alone does not show sufficient real-world significance.

(undent) What, is he referring to the IGN speculation? If so, then, yes, he is mistaken, as that one does constitute a secondary source.

This article, http://wii.ign.com/articles/992/992063p1.html, covers that concern. And again, you are mischaracterizing the citations as primary sources when they aren't.

********No, no we simply don't.

It is not merely being IGN, GameSpot, etc. that constitutes a secondary source, but the content it contains, and the only source shown to contain the necessary independent insight so far is IGN with some arbitrary speculation.

At this point, though, all we can say about the game is that Miyamoto confirmed the project's existence, it's being developed for the Wii, and it's targeted for 2010, and that's not enough to justify a separate article.
