Conjecture. Apple has registered the xrOS trademark with no indication that it will be a VR operating system. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 03:40, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. xrOS isn't a thing currently, and there is nothing notable to say about it. Companies have trademarked all sorts of things to use in the future - until they exist, it doesn't belong on Wikipedia.

Keep per SIGCOV having been met and therefore GNG Jack4576 (talk) 06:19, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

xrOS will be the operating system created by Apple for its virtual reality system is plainly false. If the operating system will be called xrOS and that has been established in a reputable publication such as The Verge, then the article can be recreated. This is a three sentence stub regardless. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 06:55, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Hi everyone, I am the user that created the article.

I've just edited a little bit the article itself, in order to delete for now my sentence of the OS belonging to the virtual reality area. I took off even a the relative category.

If it may helps, let me know... LucaLindholm (talk) 08:32, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It does not. The article is inherently not notable. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 14:27, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify or keep. Borderline WP:TOOSOON, but this article's time will probably come extremely quickly, since Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference is approaching, and whatever OS Apple ends up running on its AR devices will certainly be notable. The rumors have been confirmed by a few RS by now [1]. Notability is admittedly still iffy, but unless the rumors turn out to be false, we'll probably end up just re-creating this article very shortly after its deletion. --Tserton (talk) 15:46, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify and salt to keep work to the draft page. TOOSOON, as (I suspect) it'll surely pass N once announced. SWinxy (talk) 19:57, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

~~Draftify~~ struck, see below until June 5 (WWDC announcement). The name "xrOS" was confirmed by Bloomberg based on internal sources rather than trademarks[2][3][4], but this is WP:CRYSTAL. We don't have articles on future products unless the development process itself meets the GNG. Almost never the case, and isn't the case here. DFlhb (talk) 18:54, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Striking purely due to the current date. By the time the "relist" expires, it'll be Saturday. xrOS will be announced Monday. Keep, pointless to draftify for only two days and potentially clutter WP:RMT afterwards. I've brought the article into solid shape with good sources; there's no resemblance with what was nominated. Do any other delete/draftify voters favour closing this as rendered pointless? DFlhb (talk) 12:16, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Article is speculative and therefore too early to exist. No substantial GNG can be met for something that wasn’t even announced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TandyTRS80 (talk • contribs) 15:12, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
