[edit] PS9

I posted this somewhat hastily originally. Apologies, however, : it's patent nonsense, from the PS2 advertising campaign; it's real in that sense, so it should probably be merged into the PS2 page. At the moment it's written too matter-of-factly as though it's about an actual system, and I wouldn't want to take up space for when the real PS9 article comes along in 30 years.

• Delete, fiction, not an article, prank, could be speedied as vandalism. Wyss 02:16, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Well, it's fiction, but it's fiction which was created for an advertising campaign as one of the external links rightly proves. I jumped to the same conclusion as you in error. Sockatume, Talk 02:50, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• It is not patent nonsense as we use that term. Nor is it vandalism. It is definitely not a candidate for speedy deletion (not under the current nor under any of the proposed criteria). It is, however, fiction presented as fact. I can't find any evidence that this particular advertising campaign is sufficiently encyclopedic to deserve its own article.

• Redirect and add information about the ad campaign to the PS2 page, if it's not already there. So merge too. Cookiecaper 18:09, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with PS2. 23skidoo 06:29, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. The PS9 doesn't exist yet (and might never, and probably won't be like the commercial if it does) and the advertising campaign was not sufficiently notable. A link in Playstation 2's External links section would probably be plenty. —Triskaideka 15:59, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Don't even merge it. A non-notable, not particularly well done commercial, that seemed to have all of two airings. Terrapin 21:17, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Author-requested and doesn't add value to Wikipedia if kept. --Deathphoenix 05:01, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
