Wipeout PS3

The few sources for the article (all nearly three years old) apparently describe an early version of the game Wipeout HD, which was released for the PlayStation 3 in 2008. There are no references indicating that "Wipeout PS3" is a separate product from Wipeout HD. As there is already an article for Wipeout HD, I'm nominating Wipeout PS3 for deletion. T. H.

Merge - Might be useful to keep a small section in the article detailing the early development stages of the game. GraYoshi2x►^talk 18:26, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I see no reason for merging. Most Wipeout PS3's information is either present on Wipeout HD or falls under WP:CRYSTAL. I also oppose redirecting since Wipeout PS3 appears to be a misnomer that has never been a used as a proper codename for Wipeout HD. The official announcement clearly states "WipEout for the PS3", not "Wipeout PS3"[1][2][3]. — Rankiri (talk) 23:05, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. All the sources do seem to describe the development of Wipeout HD , which is the PS3 version of Wipeout, so there is no reason for this article to exist.--TaerkastUA (talk) 11:43, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
~~Redirect~~ to Wipeout HD as it's a likely search term. --Jimbo^[online] 15:32, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is this this particular combination of a game's title and its platform is in any way more notable than any other? If it's not, according to this logic, we should have tens of thousands of similar redirects like The Sims 3 PC, Crysis PC, Fallout 3 Xbox 360, Final Fantasy NES, Final Fantasy PSP, etc. — Rankiri (talk) 16:08, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects are cheap. No point in creating them for the such above examples as you mention, but if they're already there then it's easy. --Jimbo^[online] 18:16, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

With all due respect, it's not a very sound argument. I can argue, for example, that Google returns 34,700,000 results for "The Sims 3 PC", 289,000 results for "Fallout 3 Xbox 360", and only 59,300 results for "Wipeout PS3" (cf. 732,000 for "Wipeout HD"). Do WP:RCAT and WP:NAME support your position? — Rankiri (talk) 18:26, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Keep as it reminds me of the article on Gran Turismo Mobile for psp, the game was announced in 2004 as a launch title for psp and as been in development hell ever since. it has barely been given a slated release date and if that article can last that long without being nominated for deletion, i believe this one should be as well.

Comment All this article does is describe WipEout HD during it's early development stages, and all the sources points to it as well. Unlike Gran Turismo Mobile (now Gran Turismo PSP), which seems to have been revived and has much more sources in that article, explaining the development history etc., there is no firm basis for this article to exist. All the relevant information in this article can be found in Wipeout HD.--TaerkastUA (talk) 11:20, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this useless, redundant, confusing, and misleading article. --Slac (talk) 03:42, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as too specific. Or merge if there is anything useful cited that should be covered in the Wipeout HD article.Yob Mod 09:22, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect it. Did you look at the IGN UK site? The images shows that they are from Wipeout HD (or Wipeout HD Fury), so this should be redirected from Wipeout PS3 to Wipeout HD. If you think redirecting it is not a good idea, then delete either way. JMBZ-12 (talk) 12:47, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is IGN's page for Wipeout HD. There is not a single mention of "Wipeout PS3" on it. — Rankiri (talk) 13:24, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Look hard. Read its description and it's main title that reads "WipEout Confirmed for PS3". It did'nt said anything about "Wipeout HD". The entire description was written 2 years ago. JMBZ-12 (talk) 17:59, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails Notability. --SkyWalker (talk) 08:10, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
