PPSSPP

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

While a great emulator, it has gotten hardly any published coverage to speak of, which can be reflected in the total dearth of reliable sources. It fails WP:GNG under Wikipedia guidelines. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 16:49, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep - Has received independent media coverage regarding its 50 million download milestone, its implementation of the Vulcan graphics API, and its implementation of VR support (ditto). Also seems to have received some coverage regarding its 1.0 mobile release. I haven't performed a very thorough search, but I'm reasonably sure that I could find more beyond this.

 * Not convinced those sources are significant enough for it to pass GNG. They range from a sentence to a paragraph and generally fall under WP:PROMO without any actual independent examination of the subject beyond "hey, this thing exists and has released".ZXCVBNM (TALK) 00:20, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

 * None of the sources listed above are a sentence in length, either as a whole or regarding their mentions of PPSSPP.


 * RE: "[These sources] generally fall under WP:PROMO": None of the above sources serve as propaganda or advocacy pieces, they aren't opinion pieces, they don't perpetuate hearsay or rumor-mongering, the publishers have no affiliation with PPSSP and function independently, and, as a result of said independence and the lack of any blatant bias on the part of the authors, these sources do not function as advertising vehicles for PPSSPP. It's of my opinion that they pass WP:PROMO, as well as WP:GNG. FlotillaFlotsam (talk) 02:30, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 09:10, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - The sources don't fall under WP:PROMO as they list/compare other similar tools. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SpaceInnovader (talk • contribs) 16:27, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
