Non notable ROM translators. Newspaper98 21:28, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete No sources, and nothing in the article suggests notability anyway. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:15, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, non-notable group. Jacek Kendysz 23:38, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, notable hacker group which translated games that were considered a challenge by the emulation scene in general. Over 16,000 Google hits. --Sn0wflake 23:58, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
• Merge to fan translation. Probably not enough for its own article, but certainly merits inclusion in a list somewhere; the translations they did received about a paragraph of coverage in a book from a reliable publisher: Carless, Simon (2004). Gaming Hacks. O'Reilly, p. 267. ISBN 0596007140.  cab 00:04, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - no reliable sources which back up claims of notability. If they're "well-known" then there should be sources. I would also note that due to the nature of their work, the Google Test is a poor judge of notability. --Haemo 01:57, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

• It cannot be expected that this subject will get coverage on the mainstream media, but that does not take away its inherent notability, considering its avaliability solely through the internet medium. --Sn0wflake 04:20, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Failed the Primary Criterion of WP:CORP. There are no independent, reliable, non-trivial and non-autobiography secondary sources to pass the notability criteria. The current article links to non-reliable sources (forums). — Indon (reply) — 07:35, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
• Merge per cab. The article is a good example to include the "Fan translation" article, and contains information notable to the subject of fan translations. A good number of links exists to this article, so redirect to fan translation if the consensus is delete. --User:Krator (t c) 15:31, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
