GeForce 8-series chipsets


This whole article is a mistake. There is no such thing as GeForce 8-series chipsets. For starters, GeForce is the name NVIDIA gives to graphics cards, which immediately indicates it's a mistake to think there are GeForce motherboard chipsets. Whoever created this somehow thought GeForce 8 was the name of the nForce 7 motherboards that carry GeForce 8 mGPUs. Furthermore, half of the article is an incomplete, non encyclopedic listing of motherboard models carrying the aforementioned GPUs. uKER (talk) 03:07, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep/Rename deletion but support other actions. The proper name for the article is probably GeForce 8 series mGPUs as can be seen on this nVIDIA page. There have been four separate mGPU lines (6 through 9 series) so I don't know if creating one nVIDIA mGPU article is appropriate.  I'd say to either rename to the specific series or rename and expand to encompass the entire line of chips.  Also, what is this doing in MfD when it is really an AfD candidate? --StuffOfInterest (talk) 12:09, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Procedural Keep - If you are trying to delete the article then MFD is not the place to do so, please see WP:AFD. - Marcusmax  ( speak ) 20:15, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - it adds nothing to GeForce 8 Series. - Richard Cavell (talk) 13:00, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but this is incorrect. The article under discussion is for a motherboard chipset, not a graphics processor.  The chipset has graphics capability but is far more than just that graphics capability.  There is nothing in the article you cite which even discusses the motherboard application. --StuffOfInterest (talk) 17:13, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
