Delete per nom. WP:TRIVIA and WP:CRUFT Spf121188 (talk) 16:01, 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 Nintendo DSs in different color schemes came out in a given year. Sergecross73 msg me 20:35, 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) 22:03, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, looks like I predicted this article's deletion almost exactly 6 years ago! Sergecross73 msg me 00:55, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete While I'd disagree with it being "anal" (it's potentially useful information for video game collectors), it's not really something fitting for a general encyclopedia and would be better off in a specialized Wiki or site instead._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 02:19, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge to Nintendo DS family - has references. Different makes/models/colours are generally discussed in independent sources (which have been supplied here) Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 04:31, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: per NOTCATALOG. DocFreeman24 (talk) 00:13, 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) 17:07, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
