[edit] Portable games

Portable games (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

The article needs a complete re-write as it's pretty much unintelligable. I thought I'd have a go, but I've found it next to impossible to find any sources (not that that worried the article's creator!) I suggest deletion - if any reasonable sources are found, the article can be recreated. -- JediLofty ^{User ¦ Talk} 13:26, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

• Delete I suspect a hoax. The image is that of a XaviXPort gaming console, so if the creator knew what they were talking about and the article was true, they would not have used that picture ( I thought it was a bit modern for a 1974 console). It seems very unlikely that Nintendo would release a handheld game in Canada, Columbia, Japan and Denmark, with absolutely no trace on the internet.--Canley (talk) 13:50, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete as hoax. Tagged as hoax. Picture is a console released in 2004. DarkAudit (talk) 14:19, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately, only blatant and obvious hoaxes can be speedied. Adding a new 20th century US President would be obvious, but this one is much less so, as the discussion above suggests. Let's get a little more consensus that this is a hoax, and then we can snowball this AfD. Thanks, William Pietri (talk) 15:13, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Retagged G3. The picture is of a console released thirty years after the article says it was. It is quite obvious. DarkAudit (talk) 15:25, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete as hoax. Picture is of an already identified console a couple of decades off of the release date from the article. It says right on the console what it is. This is a blatant and obvious hoax. Celarnor ^{Talk to me} 15:20, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete Poorly written, no sources, probably a hoax.
