Speculative fork of Mitsubishi X-2 Shinshin, and creator admits they doesn't know who the manufacturer will be. Far too soon for such an article. BilCat (talk) 19:28, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. WP:TOOSOON. F-3, if it launches, probably will be quite different from the X-2. However, at the moment F-3 is only speculation - it hasn't been funded, and Japan is debating between buying American fighters (or various modifications to American fighters - e.g. a F-22 with F-35 avionics - [1][2]) and starting a domestic (probably at Mitsubishi, and probably F-3 considering F-1 and F-2, but maybe they will be original?) program. There are speculative pieces on a possible F-3 program, but that's all that they are. Once Japan actually funds or commits to fund a program (which will be years prior to the jet taking air - 5-15 years probably) - then it will probably appropriate to start an article. At the moment we have Possible talk on what a possible F-3 program might look like if it actually starts. Icewhiz (talk) 19:50, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Redirect. Some info on future developments could be covered at Mitsubishi X-2 Shinshin. This is far too speculative to be a stand-alone article now. -Fnlayson (talk) 20:41, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Hello everyone. I'm the creator of the F-3 article and I agree with the concerns that it may be still too early for the F-3 to have its own article. I was surprised myself when the draft of the F-3 was accepted as an article because I never submitted it as at the time I was still looking for any information for the article. A user by the name "AntanO" did the article submission for me. However, I believe the article still has potential and can be useful in the future when more information is found. I still have some information to contribute but unfortunately my biggest problem at the moment is time. I'm in college and I can only edit whenever I have enough time available for me. Most of the information that I want to contribute come from the Japanese Ministry of Defense and ATLA website [3][4], however, since they're in Japanese it would take time to translate the text to English so I can read them. As a contributor, I'm still learning new things in Wikipedia and I will still continue to improve this article however I can to meet Wikipedia's standards. I appreciate the concerns that were put forth and with it I promise to do better in the future. I edit things that come to mind (talk) 21:48, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I edit things that come to mind, I will copy the content from the article to a subpage of my sandbox. You will be able to use the content in a few the future when the article is created. - ZLEA _T\^C 22:26, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Hello, everyone. I've changed my mind and would like to delete the article instead of keeping it. I did some more research and found out that so far Mitsubishi is only supplying the XF-9 engine to the F-3. It also appears that the F-3 has not been listed in Japan's 2019 Defense Budget. I still believe there is potential for this topic so instead I will request for the article to be moved to my userpage (under the userfication process) after it gets deleted so I can further improve it when more information is available. I am also open to any sort of help and assistance (advice's, collaboration, etc.) as I'm still relatively new to all this and would greatly appreciate and benefit from these new experiences.

Delete In agreement with eveyone else that this is WP:TOOSOON. Most of the article is about the Mitsubishi X-2 Shinshin, the tender proposals are still out, contracts have not been let, and even the title of the article is speculative as it is only speculated that Mitsubishi would lead the project as the primary contributor to the X-2's development, and we've heard that story many times before.
