Deletion of Web 3.0 (2nd nomination)

Comment: The nom mentions several AfDs but following the links here the last one was over 2 years ago, and obviously the topic's level of notability has changed.  Going through the common AfD arguments, there's no question of notability based on the news coverage, there's no question about lack of sources given the 18 footnotes (as of my typing this), and there's no inherent OR argument considering the heavy use of quotations and the upfront references to the speculative nature of the topic.  Beyond that I would imagine the most likely argument would be that wikipedia |is not a crystal ball but that's simply a directive to article editors to solely focus on the news coverage and to avoid guesswork about the future direction of the web.  This article could be improved, but that could be said for every article on Wikipedia.  In it's current form, this article is acceptable by wikipedia's guidelines

Comment: As far as I can see, this is a |neologism in search of a referent, just like the equally vacuous Web 2.0 was.  Apparently when anyone goes into a spasm of vacuous musings about the Future of the Internet, they upgrade it by one whole integer; nobody ever told us what Web 1.9 or Web 2.1 was all about.  If this is kept, expect to see Web 4.0 very soon
