 * Agreed - Needs Deleting - Absolute cobblers at best, Complete B*llocks at worst :) Thor Malmjursson (talk) 04:14, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Hoax, no such product exists.  TJ   Spyke   04:54, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete — If not a hoax, then it's surely not verifiable; I cannot find anything on this at all. MuZemike 06:27, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, for goodness' sake. Here. That took me about 6 seconds on a search engine. I'll bet that's not all that's out there. Dancter (talk) 06:40, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * But even if you found a reliable source, it could still not be notable enough for Wikipedia. Also, that could, I said only could have been made by the article creator. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 07:03, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I didn't make a recommendation about whether to keep or delete the article yet. But the subject isn't a hoax, and its existence and features can be verified. That was the basis of every "delete" recommendation that had been made. Dancter (talk) 07:19, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * After examining the creator's other edits, I understand how this article could be considered a hoax. The article could indeed contain some subtle errors or inaccuracies (this seems to be the editor's MO), but I'm quite sure the unit itself isn't a hoax. Look up "Nintendo Test Station". The hoax would have to be pretty elaborate for the device to be fake, and that doesn't fit the pattern. Also, after looking at the pictures, I could swear I've seen these things before. It's as recognizable to me as the Nintendo M82. Dancter (talk) 15:40, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge (and maybe condense) - The authors of Nintendo Entertainment System might appreciate this bit of info. SharkD (talk) 08:16, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge Exactly the reason AfD exists; with sources an article's information is saved when it would be deleted usually. Good find by Dancter and an advisement not to delete before you try to find out if something is not a hoax. This product is too marginal to merit an article, but its use as a troubleshooting tool definitely merits a mention in the NES article.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 11:08, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Probably best to Merge into Nintendo Entertainment System. The information should be kept, but probably best kept within a larger article. Bill (talk 14:06, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge per Bill and Nate. This is appropriate to be merged into the NES article, with may need a bit of rephrasing (changing).  Versus22 talk 21:41, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge It certainly isn't a hoax. A simple google search came up with a few third party sources and pics.--Adam in MO Talk 07:35, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
