No assertion of notability through reliable, published sources. WP:VG reliable sources search yielded zero hits. Teancum (talk) 00:28, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete - as with the related article (Dxbx), this is pure A7. No indication of importance (individuals, animals, organizations, web content). This emulator does not have any notability - and makes no claim to it in the article. In fact, the article itself states that it doesn't work - and no games function on it. It doesn't need an article at all, let alone a sub-article like this. A complete lack of sources and it seems clear this should go right away. -Addionne (talk) 00:47, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
  • Comment This isn't any of those things you've just listed for A7. Marasmusine (talk) 09:08, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
  • Comment CSD A7 does not apply to software. — HowardBGolden (talk) 16:47, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
    • Fair enough. Removed speedy above. The remainder of my argument remains the same. -Addionne (talk) 17:00, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
• Comment Teancum, in your apparent zeal to rid the WP world of the scourge of Cxbx and friends, you have referenced Cxbx (not Dxbx) in your Google custom search. Please nominate more carefully. — HowardBGolden (talk) 16:47, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

• We all make mistakes. I've corrected the link. --Teancum (talk) 18:15, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

• Delete - This is an spinoff page for a piece of software that is itself not even notable. The article on Dxbx is about to get deleted at AfD, so clearly this will not survive either (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dxbx). The developers of this software are attempting to use WP as a platform for increasing the visibility of their product. SnottyWong ^prattle 00:11, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

• Delete, per nom and Snottywong. --Nuujinn (talk) 13:13, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
• Delete for the lack of coverage in reliable sources. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 11:58, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
