Not enough to meet WP:CONTENTFORK or WP:SPINOUT in my opinion. Largely redundant information found in each handheld's article.
We have Game Boy Advance#Revisions summarizing each iteration. We have Sixth generation of video game consoles#Handheld systems with a concise table, as well as Nintendo video game consoles.

- Delete per the outcomes from the recent 3DS family and DS family discussions linked in nom. This subject is already written better at its parent article, making this one redundant and unnecessary. Sergecross73 msg me 01:42, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
- Delete Each member of the GBA "family" has its own article, plus the description on the main Game Boy Advance page, make this article somewhat superfluous. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:18, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect to Game Boy Advance#Revisions The redirect is useful. Also redirect Nintendo DS family to Nintendo DS#Later models to match as well. (Oinkers42) (talk) 03:54, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
- If its more useful than search results. « Ryūkotsusei » 15:42, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
- It's harmless... but also kind of pointless. Most people would probably omit the "family" part of the search term anyways, and without that word, you're already at Game Boy Advance. I just can't imagine the redirect not existing actually hindering anyone in a search. Sergecross73 msg me 17:19, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
