Speedily deleted as spam but was restored on review and is now here for full discussion. Procedural nomination, I have no opinion. (To closing admin: Note redirect at PLAYSTATION® Store). ~ trialsanderrors 04:38, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

 *  Delete Merge (changed my mind as per below) into PlayStation Network. Information about the shops is in PlayStation Network already. -- Razor ICE  T / C @  05:01, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete It's already covered in the PSN page. TJ Spyke 06:32, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, redundant, everything has been covered. Terence Ong 恭喜发财 08:15, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, Not everything is on the PSN page. Only a basic overview is shown, and would cause unneeded clutter in the PSN page.  In fact the commerce section should me linked to this as the main article. DanB91 11:47, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge to PlayStation Network then. Koweja 15:42, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Merge or keep; I don't see that everything is covered on the PSN page, but that page is also not very large and so could easily accommodate this content. &mdash; brighterorange  (talk) 17:54, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to PlayStation Network. Some of it is covered there. Merge the rest. --- RockMFR 18:17, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Decidedly spammish. Smerge per everyone else.  Note that I've listed the original title, PLAYSTATION® Store, on WP:RFD. &mdash;Cryptic 19:00, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep: The playstation Store gets bigger daily, that's why it needs its own article.68.194.46.211 19:32, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment, the PS Store i believe is too big to merge to the PSN article, what should probably merge with this article though is the List of PlayStation Network games though. DanB91 19:40, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, straight up. It makes no sense, no matter how any of you look at it, to merge, or delete this. This is not, I repeat, not redundant. First the PSN is a community experience, where as the PS store is just that, an online shopping mart for games and other entertainment media. The PS Store, will soon vastly eclipse the size of the PSN page here, and honestly the subject matter in each are leagues different. PS STORE, PS NETWORK, = 2 different situations completely. This dilemma can be easily summed up, the PS store and The PS Network provide distincly different, and unique functions, and therefore, are two separate entitys.69.109.186.20 00:11, 3 March 2007 (UTC)BFrosty, Playstation Underground Moderator.
 * Keep: I know the store sucks, but there has been no reason presented to delete the article on this feature of the PS3. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 01:47, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the link, I used it as a start to the criticism section in the article. Mathmo Talk 04:18, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Undecided, might be useful to have this article, I guess. But a few sources would be nice... I'm not really sure what Wikipedia counts as a reliable source in the gaming world, though. --Sid 3050 15:20, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Well.... there was one source in the above comment made directly above you. So there is a start. Mathmo Talk 04:18, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Like I said: I'm not really sure what counts as a reliable source. But intuitively, I wouldn't have regarded a webcomic and its blog (which isn't even directly cited as a source) as a reliable source for Wikipedia. (Disclaimer/Clarification: I really, really like webcomics and follow 25+ webcomics regularly, but I somehow don't see them as reliable sources to cite in an article about an online marketplace. If there is a ruling declaring PA as a reliable source, please show it to me, I'm genuinely interested since Wiki Rulings often enough surprise me.) --Sid 3050 16:35, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. Notable topic. The entire topic (GAMES) should be expanded and backed up with strong and reliable sources. This is the 21st century, ladies and gentlemen. It is about "time." I think we should want the children of the world to come here first.  Also, Ok to merge.Lee Nysted 19:01, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Isn't this the same nonsense you've copied and pasted in other deletion discussions? --- RockMFR 19:30, 4 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep, as it stood before I editted I believe it should just be a redirect and merge. But however I do believe it can be substantially improved, as I made a start to by adding in the criticism section. Thus my Keep vote. Mathmo Talk 04:18, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
