This game should not have been deleted....it was never canceled and it was confirmed to be a real title by Yoshio Sakamoto in an interview.....the game could be considered to be vaporware but it is definitely a real title.
Yoshio Sakamoto's quote from kotaku.com: "The day may come when Dread hits the stores"
Metroid Dread
I agree that it should have been deleted. That title was born from some misread text on a screen in Metroid Prime or something, and doesn't confirm anything.
" It was in development in 2005.....they halted development but it is still being hinted at like in this example....it may be vaporware but its still a game that has potential to be released based on what Mr. Sakamoto is saying. "Nothing of the game has been shown publicly at all. All we have is hearsay on Sakamoto's part. Not confirmation one way or another. What would the game page say? "A Metroid game that got stalled, then maybe cancelled, except not, and might be released at some point in the future, maybe...maybe not?" Yeah, no.

Actually, I found something on the site which argues against the concept:
"Rumored titles should NOT be included here, only games that were confirmed by a game studio were in development at some point in time."
From the page on Canceled Games.
That's one of the criteria for attaching a game to that specific concept. It is not intended to specify which games are allowed pages on the site." Actually, I found something on the site which argues against the concept:
