Sonic the Hedgehog 3C

Lacks all notability: discussed at fora and in wikis, but at most a very passing mention in reliable sources. Fram (talk) 13:06, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Nothing from the article is salvageable but this source could potentially be used to add a mention in the article about the prototype.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 13:50, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
 * And Ars Technica out of WP:VG/SE. --Izno (talk) 13:58, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
 * That's the kind of stuff I meant when I said "a very passing mention in reliable sources", the full quote there pertaining to 3C is "Sonic 3C is apparently an unreleased version containing Sonic 3 & Knuckles all on one cartridge." Fram (talk) 14:17, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, no worries. I wouldn't call it a passing mention, but it's definitely not a significant treatment. I hadn't looked when I added it. --Izno (talk) 15:56, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
 * That source would probably slot in nicely already at Sonic the Hedgehog 3, right around Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles were originally planned as a single game. However, time was limited and the manufacturing costs of a 34-megabit cartridge --Izno (talk) 15:59, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect or Delete - not independently notable. 99% of the article is unusable due to being trivial, unsourced, and informally written, so not even a merge is really necessary. Sergecross73   msg me  14:18, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - While there are some brief mentions of this prototype to show that it existed, I am not seeing anything to show that it is at all notable. Rorshacma (talk) 16:21, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Horribly written page aside, this does not seem notable enough to warrant an article. Foxnpichu (talk) 19:02, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Sonic the Hedgehog 3. There’s very little if anything in this article worth merging, beyond the fact that 3C exists. Elms super 03:53, 21 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Reason I don't know the reason why you guys want to delete my Sonic 3c page, Sonic 3C is leaked and it is exist unlike Sonic 1 Beta , Sonic 3C are downloadable though, and Sonic 3C is Sonic 3 and Knuckles in a single cartridge , but it is different actually though, Sonic 3A is Sonic 3  , Sonic 3B is Sonic and Knuckles and Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles was Sonic 3C.

 * As far as I can tell, the beta has not been covered enough in a manner that somebody who is not an avid Sonic or gaming fan would know about. Foxnpichu (talk) 16:15, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Mightybread, I understand all that. But just because something exists doesn’t mean it’s appropriate to have its own standalone article. We’re not a Sonic fansite that has its own article for every little thing. If you want to write about this sort of thing, I’d recommend finding a Sonic fansite, though chances are theyve already written about this too. Wikipedia is not the place sort of content.

 * Redirect - not notable to warrant its own article. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 07:44, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
