The result was delete. Unfortunately, no one has suggested how it might be verifiable (Google is apparently out), and so it's a clear WP:V/WP:NOR case unless someone recreates it with good references (not to mention a good claim to notability). Sandstein 20:53, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Game set


Contested prod. Unreferenced article about a term in a series of video games. Other than a mention in an unsourced section of a Wikipedia article and matching Wikipedia mirrors, a Google search finds no references to the term matching the usage discussed in the article (most of the 201 unique hits use "game set" as a synonym to Video game console). Delete as per WP:V unless reliable sources are provided to verify the article's claims. Allen3 talk 20:56, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Delete - it's just a phrase. Not very significant, and hardly something worthy of an entire article. -- Whpq 21:57, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Redirect to the game that allegedly uses the phrase, or alternatively delete as unverifiable. (I'm pretty sure there's a guideline somewhere that identifies single phrases about which there's nothing to say but "X is a phrase used in Y" as inappropriate article subjects, but I can't immediately remember where.) &mdash; Haeleth Talk 16:15, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * The problem with redirecting to the game is that other articles, Board game (chess or backgammon sets), Tennis score, or Video game console, are arguably better redirection locations. --Allen3 talk 17:12, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Not sure I agree with that. I haven't heard of the term "game set" for "board game", and in tennis, you have "game, set and match", but not "game set". Stifle (talk) 20:17, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep or redirect. Easily verifiable. Note the difference between "verified" and "verifiable". Stifle (talk) 18:52, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
