ZX Spectrum Next

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The ZX Spectrum Next is a kickstarter-funded modern clone of the ZX Spectrum. Only around 3000 units have been produced with the potential for a second production run. As such, it is an extremely niche product. The only citations that can be used to support this topic are for the release of the machine itself, and the specifications for the machine (which are primary sources, from their own website).

There is no current "significant coverage" and it is extremely unlikely that mainstream sources will be covering the machine again in the future, so any claims that the page will be expanded upon are not credible without reliance on self-promotion.

In short, there is no reason why this machine requires a dedicated page when all the possible information about it is included in the ZX Spectrum page. MrMajors (talk) 09:30, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, and not convinced it should be on the ZX Spectrum page either, where again it only cites first-party sources, and as such reads a bit like a WP:PROMO; I can't find any evidence of coverage in reliable, third-party sources on Google. YorkshireLad (talk) 10:54, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - not notable for its own article. Already included at ZX Spectrum article so no need to consider a merge. -- Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 12:16, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment There are few short news on The Register, which may be used in the main ZX Spectrum article instead of the company webpage. Other than that, not broad enough coverage to justify stand-alone article. As no valuable information is lost and redirect may be created after deletion, I´m leaning to delete (or delete and redirect). Note even extremely niche products may get significant coverage in reliable sources. Pavlor (talk) 10:04, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - The article is way too hard to understand and there are only primary sources. Analog Horror, ( Speak ) 17:20, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
