The result was redirect to Assassin's Creed#Future. All agree that this doesn't merit an article (yet), the dispute is about whether to merge/redirect anything to Assassin's Creed#Future. There is no consensus about this, but because the title is mentioned in reliable sources such as [1], I can't find that core policy such as WP:V mandates deletion, and consequently I'm closing this as redirect as a variant of the "no consensus, default to keep" outcome. Editorial consensus must determine what if anything to merge from the history. Sandstein 07:14, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Violates Crystal Ball especially 5. "Speculation and rumor, even from reliable sources, are not appropriate encyclopedic content." This is all that's in the article. Just rumors. Ubisoft's E3 press conference has come and gone with no announcement. This is just a rumor that doesn't even deserve to be merged. Everyone Dies In the End (talk) 21:40, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I'm the page creator, and I'm embarrassed. Seemed like a good idea at the time, and sources were everywhere, but since then there has been nothing, so I support deletion. Trut-h-urts man (T • C) 21:44, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete per WP:CSD#G7 per above. Ansh666 01:01, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Facepalm per below. I just read CSD so I'm on autopilot I guess. Merge/Redirect per Tokyogirl, to be recreated when the game is released or becomes a prime example of vaporware. Ansh666 04:24, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Assassin's_Creed#Future. Does this deserve its own article? No, not yet. However, there are just enough mentions of this in RS to where I'd say that it would merit a mention in the "Future" section of the main AC article. Since this would be a valid enough search term, I think it would be reasonable to suggest that we merge some of the information (just a sentence or two would be enough) and redirect there.

I don't believe this merits a redirect. Also, the future section isn't appropriate and a new section called possible releases or something is a better place, but that's not important right now and can be discussed if redirect is chosen. The pressing issue is this is a rumour. Rumours don't belong on wikipedia anywhere (as per Crystal Ball). I would have afd this before but gave until E3 as it was a few days away and could get recreated. E3 conferences as come and gone and no word. I'm not saying that this game may not be true. I'm saying that there's not real evidence of it's existence. It's just a rumour. If and when Ubisoft makes a press release it can be recreated.-- Everyone Dies In the End (talk) 07:20, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete All the sources point to rumours, not actually being a press release from Ubisoft or their partners/developers/publishers. It might be worth a mention in Assassin's_Creed#Future, but for now, it seems all speculation. I wouldn't even redirect it. ^Jguy_Talk^Done 14:14, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Userfy, until the game is released (and meets WP:GNG). No need for embarrassment :-). Miniapolis 15:18, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
