Dreamcast Sound Format

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This is another vanity article for a vaporware file format similar to Sega Saturn Sound Format, which currently has a strong case for deletion. This format is only supported in one Winamp plug-in by one author and plays the music for only one game, Ikaruga. That sounds decidedly not WP:N. The article is devoid of citations and links only to the Web site of the author, which makes it very suspicious that this is a vanity page. Google finds only 359 hits, which are either copies of the Wikipedia article, mirrors of the file or forum discussion, all of which fail WP:V. This article should be deleted. If the facts change at some point in the future, a new article could be created. The muramasa (talk) 06:37, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Non-notable file format that is not widely-used. Very little ghits with no reliable sources. —  Wen li  (reply here) 22:48, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
