Fails WP:NOTCATALOG and mostly unreferenced. Can't access the first ref and the second is a forum thread. Neo-corelight (Talk) 02:12, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NOTCATALOGUE and WP:GAMECRUFT. It's not an encyclopedia's job to document how many identical functioning Game Boys in different color schemes came out in a given year. Sergecross73 msg me 02:53, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete there’s no precedent for this kind of incredibly mundane hyper-anal gamecruft existing, since the closest things I found were two very similar articles about other Nintendo handhelds (which I’ve also nominated for deletion, natch). Dronebogus (talk) 12:59, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete on top of what was mentioned we also have a precedence at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Nintendo Wii colors and styles.--65.93.195.118 (talk) 22:05, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: per NOTCATALOG. DocFreeman24 (talk) 00:11, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: This is simply a list without contextual information showing encyclopaedic merit and hence per WP:NOTCATALOGUE is not appropriate for inclusion. Such-change47 (talk) 12:08, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or Merge with the parent article (which provides the ‘contextual information’). The existence of this list would likely not survive in isolation; in cases such as this it does help to keep many details out of the parent article, thus making that article more manageable. (Since the main namespace doesn’t allow subpages, we end up with these strange results.) Jim Grisham (talk) 17:06, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Even if the list is merged into the parent article it still violates WP:NOTCATALOG. We're not the place to lists every minor thing in existence. Neo-corelight (Talk) 23:55, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
