This page might not meet WP:GNG. It has been a redirect in the past but the page it redirected to, List of video game emulators only lists emulators that currently have Wikipedia pages, so there is no place on Wikipedia it could reasonably redirect or merge to since all that the page it previously redirected to would have is a link back to the Kega Fusion page, a redirect back to the page the user is already on, something entirely pointless. For the purposes of this AfD debate, I restored the article so that people may look at its sources throughout the period of the AfD discussion to determine whether or not they meet the standards of the General Notability Guideline, and if anyone finds sources that meet said criteria, they may add them to the article. Basically WP:GOLDENRULE for notability must be met: significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic in order to establish notability.

P.S. as a minor housekeeping note, if the consensus is to delete the article, the images File:Kega Fusion logo.gif and File:Kega Fusion 3.64 emulating Zero Tolerance on Windows 10.png should also be deleted since Kega Fusion is proprietary, copyrighted freeware software and the non-free use rationale for both images only applies to using them on the article of Kega Fusion itself. So if that article is deleted, those 2 images must be deleted too in order to abide by the limitations in the non-free use rationale since they are only fair use as long as that article still exists.

    • They would be automatically deleted anyway if they aren't used in any articles, so no worries. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 03:15, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - the article doesn't appear to have the sourcing necessary to meet the WP:GNG. The subject has existed as a redirect for like the last 6 years, but its no longer mentioned at the redirect target, nor should it be due to its inclusion criteria, so deletion is more appropriate.

  • Delete per WP:GNG. This article is a relic of the past (10+ years old) from when guidelines and policies weren't as enforced as they are today. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 16:39, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, seems to fail WP:GNG. Videogameplayer99 (talk) 22:37, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
