[edit] Etch-a-Sketch Animator 2000

Unnotable, discontinued product with little or no historic or encyclopedic value. Received less than 100 google hits (how unnotable is that?).

• Delete. Toycruft. --SuperDude 03:55, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep or weak merge with Etch-a-Sketch. Cartridge-based gaming systems, even obscure/unsuccessful ones, are of considerable interest. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:20, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
• Comment, no vote. I'm unsure about this. This could be worth something if expanded. However, the article has been posted since August 3 and no one has added anything since then. Perhaps merge, per Andrew above, would be best. ♠ DanMS 00:24, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with article on parent toy (Etch-a-Sketch) which is the only possible source of notablity for it. WCFrancis 00:49, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Denelson, there's a lot of stuff I haven't heard from, but that doesn't mean none of it warrants an entry. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:07, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

• Merge with Etch-a-Sketch as per above reasoning. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:07, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete I doubt anyone cares enough about the topic to take to effort to merge it. By voting to merge it, someone has to do the work of merging content of one article he/she doesn't care about to another article that he/she doesn't care about. I have done that a couple of times. If anyone else cares about the topic, let them merge it, otherwise delete it. --Rogerd 18:12, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Support Brighterorange's merge and redirect--Rogerd 03:07, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

• boldly speedily merged/redirected since I care enough to do it. I had one when I was little, and although it was a totally unusable piece of junk, it still holds a special place in my heart. If someone disagrees, feel free to reopen the discussion. — brighterorange (talk) 19:05, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Thank you. If is easy to say "someone should merge this", and harder to be that "someone". I am not talking about this article in particular, but merge requests in general. Again, Thanks--Rogerd 19:22, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Toycruft. / Peter ^Isotalo 03:21, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
• Support Brighterorange's merge and redirect. Not separately notable enough for an article, but worth keeping as a section in the notable Etch-a-Sketch. If Kappa or Andrew have historical references, there's room in the Animator 2000 section to add citations about technical advancements or impact on the Etch-a-Sketch hobby (?) without needing to break it back out into its own article.
