The result was keep. I'm nipping this in the bud. Multiple bad AFDs opened in rapid succession by a just unblocked editor. None of these are going to result in a delete or merge. -- ferret (talk) 13:49, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

Has very little notable stuff in it, better to merge it to the main NES article. A lot of cruft that few people in the general public that the encyclopedia serves would be interested in it. Grandmaster Huon (talk) 03:29, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. The nominator's statement suggests that they're attempting to open a merge request, for which AfD is not a proper venue. Apart from this, a deletion discussion is closed based on a determination of the notability of the subject, not whether it is interesting; there are somewhere north of a hundred sources here which seem to militate against deletion. jp×g 08:42, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

- Keep. This article has 122 citations, many of them from reliable sources both domestic and international, with quite a few of them talking about the decades-long history of Famiclones at length. It is very clearly notable. FlotillaFlotsam (talk) 11:39, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
- Keep Clearly notable and GNG passing article. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 11:57, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
