[edit] PlayStation 3 technical problems

PlayStation 3 technical problems (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Pretty much all the "references" are blogs and forums, which do not qualify under WP:V. In any case, most of the claims in the article are speculation, and even if they weren't, I would say that this is verging on an indiscriminate collection of information. Oli Filth 00:06, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Per nom. This information isn't notable, and isn't even worth merging into Playstation 3. •Malinaccier• ^T/C 00:14, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. No references, no salvageable content. jddphd (talk · contribs) 00:15, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
• Regretful Delete. Not wanting to violate WP:ILIKEIT or WP:LOSE, but I think the information is quite notable and important to keep around. But again, those are bad arguments. J-stan ^Talk_Contribs 00:23, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete The problem is notability. If these "problems" recieved widespread coverage or recognition there would be less of a problem, but they do not, and therefore do not meet the notability guideline. Calgary 00:27, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Common problems may be included in some briefness in the article, but an entire page seems more like something that tech help should create. Additionally, I highly doubt that no other electronic devices have technical problems, and those that do most likely do not have an entire page dedicated to problems. Nothing is flawless. Additionally, as stated above, I too agree that these are just user defined problems. Could be a single faulty unit. Zchris87v 01:29, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
• Merge and Redirect, The problems have references, and the issue of rushing colsoles does seem notable enough to be mentioned in PS3 article. The first intro paragraph (with cleanup), and some of the problems listed (with sources) should be mentioned in the main article. --Nenyedi ^TalkDeeds_@ 02:09, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
• Merge/Redirect per Nenyedi. Any bug in the system that can be sourced might be worth a "Technical problems" header in the main PS3 article. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps•Review?)} 02:30, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete and make into a new section - in the PS3 article. -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 03:10, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
• Merge a better sourced version into the main PS3 article. The information would do more damage there, anyway. Down with the man! Ichormosquito 04:05, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:SYNTH - Bunch of unrelated issues tied under a big umbrella Corpx 04:17, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete --RucasHost 05:50, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete or mergeBalloonman 08:21, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep or merge, because information seems notable, concerns a major entertainment device, and is referenced. --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 16:40, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete or merge - This article is unreferenced and confusing. I believe it should either be deleted, or a new, rewritten version should be merged with the main PS3 article. TheInfinityZero 16:46, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
• Merge and Redirect - should be part of PS3 article. Shruti14 (talk • contribs) 18:25, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
• Comment - to all those who suggested "Merge", please remember that it can only be added if it is properly cited; the current references are all blogs, etc., and cannot be used under WP:V. Oli Filth 18:33, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect and merge anything with reliable sources. ¿SFGiДnts! ^{¿Complain! ¿Analyze! ¿Review!} 20:06, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect THis is useful info for the PS3 but it lacks verification. Maybe redirect to Play Station 3 if necessary.--PrestonH 20:18, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
