I would have preferred to discuss this with the Videosmarts AfD as I pointed out in that discussion (which I suspect led to this nomination). These devices need to prove notability and Videosmarts has a start. If sources can be found to associate the two products and satisfy WP:N, I'd recommend a merge. —Ost (talk) 19:22, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Week delete, prefer rescue. Rescue/Merge. Am I missing something or does VideoSmarts actually have nothing to do with ComputerSmarts except sounding similarly and presumably competing in market? Both articles have basically the same issues. — Hellknowz ▎talk 19:38, 26 April 2010 (UTC) Restate. — Hellknowz ▎talk 20:34, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- According to the articles, they have a similar manufacturer. They also have very similar logos. This is certainly not proof that they are related, but I suspect that they operated together or that one succeeded the other. But admittedly without sources, I'm just speculating. —Ost (talk) 19:45, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with VideoSmarts or Rescue and Keep. There are fewer sources for this than there are for VideoSmarts, but Google Books still shows a few relevant hits. The products are pretty clearly related. Both manufactured by Connor, similar VHS-format system, nearly identical trade dress. No need to delete verifiable information if, like this topic, it passes the minimum requirement for notability. -Thibbs (talk) 20:21, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have tagged this article for rescue. Silver seren^C 20:26, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I've added the sources that I can for now, though i'm sure there are more. The problem is that the news sources clearly have information on the subject, but they're all past the Pay-per-view barrier. At the very least, the Tampa Bay Magazine has an entire article on the subject, so i've referenced that in the article. Silver seren^C 20:26, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
