[edit] PCSX

PCSX (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Emulator that does not appear to meet WP:SOFTWARE inclusion criteria, or be notable, or have reliable sources. Stifle (talk) 15:17, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. PCSX was one of the premiere Playstation emulators, along with Bleem. It was the starting point for the PCSX2 project. If PCSX isn't notable, PCSX2 (the only current Playstation 2 emulation project) should be nominated also. — Dark Shikari ^talk/_contribs 15:53, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as not asserting notability. I'm not sure if it's possible to objectively assess whether something is "premiere". I don't see how the deletion of this article would automatically make PCSX2 non-notable, but feel free to nominate it and we'll discuss it. Demiurge 17:42, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

• Keep If you delete this article then you might aswell shove every other noteable emulator article into the chopping block.Atirage 07:07, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I wouldn't be totally against merging it into the PCSX2 article (which is definitely notable), but it shoudn't be deleted. —SirPavlova 12:45, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. It's an interesting project. - Brian Kendig 18:25, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Not a single source anywhere to indicate its notability or verify any of the claims in the article. Hbdragon88 05:00, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: since the PCSX2 probably emulates the PSX as well, isn't this just an earlier build of sorts like NO$GB (which became NO$GBA) and Kega (which became Kega Fusion)? If so, just redirect it there. Garrett^Talk 07:33, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect Per Garrett. The Kinslayer 09:43, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Dark Shikari. While I agree this article could use work, and should possibly be marked as a stub, PCSX is definitely a notable piece of software. Significant development, use, and availability (it is, to my knowledge, the only significantly compatible PS emulator that runs under OS X for example). A quick web search also reveals reviews and other media coverage, which all add support to its notability (per WP:SOFTWARE). From wiki deletion policy, "articles and text which are capable of meeting these should usually be remedied by editing", so even if it needs work, I disagree with deleting it. At most, I would vote for a weak merge with PCSX2, perhaps in a "history section", if no one steps forward after a reasonable time to further edit this article. However, I think it is capable of supporting its own article. xoa 05:49, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
