The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

ZX Spectrum Vega

Hi. I removed the list of games you started for the ZX Spectrum Vega article. We don't need this as a big table so I am glad that I caught it before you spent too much time on it. If you can add a reference for what the 1000 games are then that would be good. (Please see Wikipedia:Citing sources if you need help finding out how to do this.) It would provide the readers with the ability to find out what they are, if they want to, without you needing to make a huge table and without cluttering up the article, which is a win-win all round. --DanielRigal (talk) 21:52, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

Console generations

This is already covered twice, once by the Video Game series template already at the top of each page (Under "Consoles") and again at the end of the articles, by their navbar template. We don't need a third. -- ferret (talk) 22:53, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

You may also want to read WP:NOTBROKEN, as I've seen you making a lot of changes to redirects today. -- ferret (talk) 01:51, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of InnoTV

The article InnoTV has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No credible claim of notability. Fails WP:N.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Draft:Retro Computers

Hello, Talkkaris. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, Draft:Retro Computers.

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it. — JJMC89 (T·C) 03:35, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

A page you started (VTech 3D Gamate) has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating VTech 3D Gamate.

I have just reviewed the page, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

I saw your comments in the edit history mentioning that the subject is particularly obscure. However, this does not absolve us of requiring that the subject meet notability guidelines, nor does it allow us to cite unreliable sources such as forums and blogs. That having been said, I was able to find at least one academic paper that at the very least mentions the VTech 3D Gamate [1], which may help the subject meet notability guidelines.

To reply, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Rosguill}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ .

A page you started (VTech Variety) has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating VTech Variety.

I have just reviewed the page, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

Thank you for your new article on VTech Variety. Other editors have called attention to some weaknesses in the article, particularly the matter of notability. These issues should be addressed, or future editors may call for the article to be deleted.

To reply, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Doomsdayer520}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ .

Hello, I'm Hulmem. Your recent edit to the page First generation of video game consoles appears to have added incorrect information, so it has been removed for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. hulmem (talk) 13:21, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

File:Giochi Preziosi Logo.svg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

XaviX / Domyos Interactive System

Hi,

Just saw your edit on the XaviX page with the DIS reference; I was greatly surprised, as while writing an article with a fellow researcher (about playing with your feet) we noticed the similarity and found the DIS to be the European version of the DIS, although released much later. I also noticed you do a lot of work on obscure machines; we are actually working on a research line on "failed" consoles, so we are just really curious about the work you are doing as we might be able to collaborate, somehow. Anyway, to the point... is there any way to actually contact you? Although I have a Wikipedia user since long ago, I'm not really active so I don't know how messaging or contacting works. Thanks and kind regards, m. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mmoracantallops (talk • contribs) 20:02, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Hello there! I'm interested in these more obscure consoles because no one seemed to make an effort to preserve and compile basic information other consoles have on their respective pages. I've been completing game lists such as all the VTech consoles and the Hyperscan, along others, and doing some other things to more obscure consoles. I created the page for the Palmtex Portable Videogame System which I found super interesting, that's the most intensive research I've done on a topic yet. Your research on failed consoles sounds interesting. When I comes to contacting me, I have a Twitter account (https://twitter.com/ray_tubular) but not much else. Thanks for showing interest!
