Xim3

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Contested PROD. Article about a non-notable product. The article has had some problems with spam and copyright violations, but those issues can be solved with rewriting; what can't be solved as easily is the issue of notability. A search for sources yields only primary sources/press releases and a few trivial mentions in tech blogs. If anybody finds more in the way of significant coverage in reliable sources, it should be kept, otherwise deleted until it becomes notable. bonadea contributions talk 17:28, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the XIM3 article is about a very notable product. It is the first of its type to provide completely accurate game play and is allowed by microsoft. It also incorporates a technology of "smart translators" which is able to create an exact 1v1 ration between mouse movement and controller movement. The statement that it has a "few trivial mentions" is an understatement. It is being mentioned all over the web and popularity is increasing by the minute. The current community on the forum is 8471 users . . . That is just on the developers forum. I believe this is more than a non-notable product.Webb.joshua (talk) 17:48, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK, what you need, then, is to find reliable sources that demonstrate such notability - sources from independent third parties that discuss the product with more than just a passing mention. Have a look at WP:N to understand what notability means in a Wikipedia context, and WP:RS to learn about the kinds of sources you need. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:52, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do any of these count? And if so, do I put them on here? I will continue my search . . .this was all just from the first page of google searching . . . Webb.joshua (talk) 18:00, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hopefully someone will be able to evaluate them for you before too long - I'm afraid I'm a bit too busy to do so myself right now. But while we have your attention here, please take note of the warnings on your Talk page, and stop filling the article with a crapflood of promotional unencyclopedic trivia, like personal comments ("I personally know tons of gamers who..."), a minute-by-minute account of the store's opening, and the "8471 members and counting" stuff about the community. That is just NOT how an encyclopedia is written. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 18:12, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, this is my first time doing this. I am now adding "relevant" information. . . . keyword being informationWebb.joshua (talk) 18:17, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
