Wii Startup Disc


It's a software update for the Wii. There's little more to say about it at this point. It is not confirmed by particularly reliable sources, and even then I'm not sure if it should be included as a separate article. Software updates and patches don't typically get their own articles, and this one being sold with the console seems to make it a better idea to simply include it in the Wii page. Not to mention saving user's clicks. Recommend Redirection to Wii, as some people may still look it up by name. It was already like this, but the change to a redirect was contested. -- Consumed Crustacean (talk) 07:56, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete "It is not yet known what the Startup Disc will actually do, only that it is included with the Wii console. Nintendo has yet to comment on the disc." So: the Wii Startup Disc is the startup disc for the Wii, and nothing more is known about it.  And that's an article? Guy 09:38, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge into Wii. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk)
 * Merge. It's important, but not important enough for it's own article yet.  Spinach Dip 10:24, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect. Vote changed due to realization that the startup disk may not actually exist.  Spinach Dip 08:55, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge Redirect per above. utcursch | talk 12:49, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * What would you merge, out of interest? Most of the "article" is about Wii, the only sentence which is really about the disc itself is It is not yet known what the Startup Disc will actually do, only that it is included with the Wii console. Nintendo has yet to comment on the disc. Guy 12:54, 10 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete - there's nothing to merge but rumour and speculation. -- Whpq 16:06, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect. Content is already in the Wii article. --- RockMFR 17:06, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect. First of all, this is only a stub amount of info. Second, it's entirely unverifiable rumor and speculation (seems like it should be Wii Sports). It has no place on WP, so no place on the Wii article. If it amounts to something useful, we can add it to the appropriate place, Wii. People may search for the Wii Startup Disk, and as such should be redirected to info regarding the content of the Wii box, on the Wii page. Scepia 18:51, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete According to Planet GameCube, the Wii no longer comes with a startup disc . So I don't see a need for it to be mentioned anywhere now. TJ Spyke 20:02, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Take that article with a grain of salt. It has yet to be reported anywhere else. --- RockMFR 22:33, 10 November 2006 (UTC)


 * In the new IGN Weekly (IGN Weekly Holiday 06), they have the final Wii box and take everything in it out. There was no startup disc there (they also re-confirm that Wii Sports will just come in the same cheap cardboard that Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt came in). TJ Spyke 02:56, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, or merge at the very least. The article contains not enough information to not be a part of the Wii page, most of which is speculation to begin with. --Zooba 12:50, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge —  merge this bit into Wii, or delete if it's not relevant anymore. –-  kungming·  2  | (Talk ·Contact) 00:27, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Redirect Not enough info yet. &mdash;The Gr e at Llama talk 15:41, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete It's been proven by a gamespot On the Spot episode and on the Engadget unboxing that there is no Startup Disc, only Wii Sports. Toasty! &#124; Available at your local store 23:45, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong delete - unverified speculation. Pete Fenelon 01:11, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * '''Merge — Merge into main Wii Article, there's 6/7 days till it come out in America, they should be able to find out what it does by then. Cocopopz2005 02:26, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment, I can now find at least four sources which state that the disc does not exist. There's nothing to merge; it was merged at a point, but all mention has been removed from the article. -- Consumed Crustacean (talk) 17:13, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
