 * Merge page into Nintendo DS. Some of the information seems to be repeated between the two articles, so it would make more sense to merge the articles.  -- Imperator3733 05:00, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I was about to say 'Merge' but the DS page is a bit too cluttered already so perhaps it would be better if the article was kept, and the accessories section was deleted from the main DS article.Darkcraft 06:54, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Judging by the amount of stuff on here, there seems to be an entire industry around providing accessories for the DS.  If it was merged into Nintendo DS it would completely dominate the article.  The Accessories section in the latter article should probably be trimmed down, with a link to Nintendo DS accessories as the main article. Cosmo0 18:59, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Another Keep. I agree largely with Cosmo0. The DS has a booming accessories market, which couldn't be done justice in the original DS article (it would be too long. The accessories section of the DS article should be merged into this, and instead of the long thing in the current article, something like this:The Nintendo DS has a large accessories market, with a large number of official accessories by Nintendo and many third party accessories.  As far as some editing down of the article, I'd be keen on that- some of the sections are written more like advertisements, and rather than describing each of the homebrew kits in general, describe "flash cart" and put examples. However, I believe strongly that this article should be kept. --JDCMAN 01:30, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep The main article is already too cluttered, and there is a booming market. --Fowl2 06:07, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep It does contain alot of useful information and a nice overview of the accessories on the market. If entries read like adverts, that should obviously be adressed. Deletion seems a bit extreme for what seems to be a POV-problem. Granted, removing a problem is more efficient than fixing it;) --Stardreamer 16:36, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
