[edit] DS PSP War

DS PSP War (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Synthesis, plain and simple. Yes, the article has one section which is copied and cited, talking about sales results as of March 2005. It has no further sourced material comparing the two; it instead branches into a list of PSP attributes and a list of titles for the two platforms. That information is better handled by the respective platforms' articles, so I don't see how this article establishes that the "DS PSP War" notable—certainly not beyond any other case of two products competing. —C.Fred (talk) 13:27, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment Could this article be kept with major cleanup? I see a bit of promise in it. STORMTRACKER 94 Go Irish! 13:35, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment I would say the article is notable, just not in it's current state or title. If the article was heavily re-written without Synthesis, properly referenced, and included information about other handheld consoles of that generation, it would be notable. As it is in it's current state, I agree with the deletion. Eastlygod (talk) 13:39, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
  • I see two editors here, plus one at the talk page—separate from the original editor—saying they have a vision for how to improve the article and bring it up to standards. Since there's a pool of support to improve the article, I'm all for good articles. And I don't think the subject is beyond notability; I just don't think the current incarnation of the article does it justice. Nomination withdrawn. —C.Fred (talk) 13:43, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
