YLOD

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unremarkable article John Collier (talk) 00:25, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as how-to. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 00:37, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of video game related deletion discussions.  MuZemike  ( talk ) 01:24, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete — A how-to article, not to mention the man from Mars cannot readily understand after three seconds what the article is about. What? PlayStation? What's that? MuZemike  ( talk ) 01:24, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wow, I thought Zoids were trivial. Yes, a manual, of no value. Drmies (talk) 04:44, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - the YLOD is well documented and is as notable as the BSOD on Windows. It's not a how-to guide. - Richard Cavell (talk) 10:27, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Well-documented? If blogs and MySpace counts, yes. But the references to the article are just that, blogs and videos, and I've not found anything beyond it (yes, I looked). I'll gladly be proven wrong. And the article, well, it IS a manual on how to fix it ("The are several ways to fix the system..."), and then a description of the other lights and what they're for ("The red light, when illuminated, shows that the system is currently on standby mode."). That is seriously not encyclopedic. Drmies (talk) 21:16, 17 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge into PS3 - Merge what can be saved into the main PS3 article then delete. No more notable than the 'ring of death' or what have you that 360s suffer. At least the blue screen of death does have more of a cultural edge these days (Being used in comedy and general society references) while console related technical faults are hardly main stream society fodder and don't receive the third party coverage to really warrant their own article. It will never grow beyond much of a stub. Also, I'd be pretty suprised if Sony charged someone in the UK 150 dollars or such. Seems like it was written based on someone's personal experience or chatting to mates. -- Narson ~  Talk  • 12:06, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Help! Tried to merge it into the PlayStation article, and I need to know where it goes, and SOURCES! Yeah, I got most of the info out already, if you want to delete this now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Elm-39 (talk • contribs) 14:07, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - references provided are not WP:RS, therefore article fails basic WP:V policy. Marasmusine (talk) 16:39, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
