All sources are rumor sites. Wikipedia does not make articles on rumors, per WP:CRYSTAL. —Locke Cole • t • c 16:49, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: If deleted, the inbound redirect Canon EOS Mark II (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) should also be deleted. —Locke Cole • t • c 16:53, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: It is not uncommon for information about camera's to be leaked to the media before the camera is released. This is the case for the Canon EOS R2. The article should stay in Wikipedia. Blockhouse321 (talk) 20:30, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Blockhouse321: You... you didn't read WP:CRYSTAL, did you? Specifically, 5. Wikipedia is not a collection of product announcements and rumors. Although Wikipedia includes up-to-date knowledge about newly revealed products, short articles that consist of only product announcement information are not appropriate. Until such time that more encyclopedic knowledge about the product can be verified, product announcements should be merged to a larger topic (such as an article about the creator(s), a series of products, or a previous product) if applicable.. —Locke Cole • t • c 20:52, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, It is not uncommon for information about camera's to be leaked to the media before the camera is released. This is the case for the Canon EOS R2. The fact that the practice is common doesn't mean that examples of the practice are of encyclopedic value. Mere rumours and leaks don't hack it.

Delete as suggested by Hoary. Probably WP:TOOSOON. KartikeyaS343 (talk) 07:09, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete product may be become notable in future but is not as of now. GargAvinash (talk) 18:25, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. A clear case of WP:TOOSOON.4meter4 (talk) 00:42, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
