Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/FlashMe

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. The numerical consensus is "merge". However, per WP:DGFA, the core policies WP:V and WP:NOR must be taken into account when closing AfDs. In this case, no reliable sources appear to exist - only forums are cited - and accordingly, the article is unlikely to ever meet WP:V. Since per that policy, unverifiable content should be deleted and not merged, policy mandates that outcome. The content is available for merging if someone does find sources later.

Un-notable software/hardware used in Nintendo DS software piracy. Written like an installation guide. SpigotMap 01:02, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, the article lacks reliable third party sources about the subject, and merging won't change that. RFerreira 00:27, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. This is non-notable spam for a business offering what appears to be a potentially illegal product. I don't care so much about the legality aspect, but the spam part and lack of sources means we can't merge it anywhere until someone finds some publications issued by reliable third party sources.

• Keep or Merge to Nintendo DS Homebrew (as soon as it is no longer locked...). People who don't even know what FlashMe is (SpigotMap and Burntsauce first) shouldn't bother erasing things they don't ever use... This is NOT made for piracy, this is NOT spam (it is a free software!), and it doesn't need more sources (two are important : the creator's homepage, and gbadev forum). Define "reliable third party source" ? Website with more than XXXXX visits a day? A national newspaper? Even if I don't think it's useful, you can still google "flashme NDS" and see if there are enough answer for you to admit it is not a minor software...Jidoo 12:16, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Jidoo please try to WP:AGF, I'm well aware of what FlashMe is, but it is not notable in the encyclopedic sense. The only citations within the article are personal websites and internet forums. THERE ARE NO RELIABLE THIRD PARTY SOURCES TO SUPPORT THIS ARTICLE. Please go read Wikipedia:Reliable sources before you stick your foot in your mouth any further.

• Merge WP is not a tutorial site, half of the article is a how-to on useage. once you've removed that part, the rest is worth a merge into Nintendo DS Homebrew.  ALKIVAR™ ☢ 19:44, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
