The result was Draftify. I don't usually like draftifying unless someone has expressed an interest in working on said draft, but given the general clamor here there's little choice. Vanamonde (Talk) 16:51, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The official account of OnePlus on the social media platform Weibo, has posted the following (translated to English): "OnePlus' new generation of flagship product, future performance leader OnePlus 11 will be released soon! OnePlus 11 will challenge many impossibilities in the industry, so stay tuned." Follow this link for the post: [1] The teaser was released in the keynote address during the ninth anniversary celebration of OnePlus in China on 17 December 2022. The same has been posted by the same account here: [2]. Since these posts are made from the official OnePlus account, this teaser is very much official and I would vote to NOT delete this article.

Also, the official OnePlus website now has a dedicated page for the launch of OnePlus 11: [3]; where it confirms the launch date of the device to be 7 February 2023. AkshayAnand^Talk! 15:31, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

AkshayAnand, it's not a rule but it is polite to mention that you are the creator of this article. It helps others here to understand your stake in the AFD. Thanks, Lamona (talk) 18:11, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Verge, CNet, and ZD Net have now all posted stories about the announcement this morning. Skynxnex (talk) 15:35, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Draftify Announcements come from the lips of the manufacturer and are not reliable. The same applies to the many articles such an announcement spawns. Reviews are what is lacking. WP:TOOSOON means hold your horses on this effort in the form of a WP:DRAFT.

Keep What qualifies as an official announcement? Would that not make Wikipedia the mouthpiece of a manufacturer? If it's "reviews are what is lacking" do we not create pages for upcoming products until after their release? Even a cursory Google search finds many notable sources talking today about this upcoming phone, and not in a speculative rumor capacity. Criticalus (talk) 22:03, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Draftify I agree with nom that this is WP:CRYSTAL. Journals and sites pick up these announcements with little or no independent analysis. It's their click bait and it quickly fades if the technology doesn't find a market. This should wait until the tech product has been around long enough to have serious reviews.

Delete It might as well be vaporware at this point, beyond software announcements, there is nothing to use as a program, we can perhaps revisit in 6 months if it goes anywhere as a piece of software. Oaktree b (talk) 19:31, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify Agree does not yet warrant an article, but will almost certainly in the not so far future. Seacactus 13 (talk) 01:15, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify: the phone was officially teased, but I don't see it being notable until release. LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contribs)} 05:01, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I nominated this afd when this phone hasn’t been announced yet. But, this phone was announced yesterday.[4] How can I do? Hajoon0102 💬 01:29, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is a product announcement that takes its info directly from what the company has provided. The article also says: "While the release date has already been confirmed, we still await the pricing." So still no independent reviews, just reiterating the company's announcement. Also, the product has not yet been released. Lamona (talk) 14:30, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify WP:CRYSTAL and WP:TOOSOON applies I believe. Equine-man (talk) 08:51, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
