Delete per above: I agree with you there, it is also written in a way that isn't suitable for Wikipedia Jamo62 (talk) 10:00, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Soft Delete Google TV Beta - There are at least two issues with this article, notability and encyclopedic tone. It should be noted that the author has created this page both in article space and in draft space. This may be due either to ignorance or in order to game the system so that the article cannot be moved into draft space. However, that did not prevent the article from being nominated for deletion. As to notability, a review of the sources shows that only the Lifehacker article may be possibly be considered secondary. If it is considered secondary, there is one independent reliable secondary source, and it does not pass general notability. This does not mean that other sources do or do not exist.

Number	Reference	Remarks	Independent	Significant	Reliable	Secondary
1	Lifehacker.com	Description of the hoax	Yes	Yes	Probably	Maybe
2	Lifehacker.com	Same as 1	Yes	Yes		Maybe
3	Lifehacker.com	Same as 1	Yes	Yes		Maybe
4	Techcrunch.com	Identification as a hoax	Yes	No	Yes	No
5	Gizmodo.com	Coverage of the possible hoax	Yes	No	Yes	No
6	Gizmodo.com	Coverage as a hoax	Yes	No	Yes	No

The other issue is that the tone of the article is completely unencyclopedic. This also does not mean that another article cannot be written. This article fails on both notability and tone, and should be deleted. The draft should be tagged as needing to be blown up and started over, with nothing surviving the stubbing down except the title. An article would be a good idea, but not this one.

Delete: Not encyclopedic at all. And while we are at it, the editor seems to have created the Infinitesolutions article as well, which I think should also be deleted. Alpha Piscis Austrini (talk) 11:19, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
