Contested prod - non notable website / manual Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 14:59, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree that this article is worthless. It conflates Nintendo DS homebrew and Software piracy as though they were the same thing, but says nothing about them not already said in the two articles I just linked. APL (talk) 16:27, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Nah, the article is by no means worthless - the only problem with it is that it is a manual. The goal of the article is to teach anyone who reads it how to download and use roms for the DS. Hence the fact that is doesn't care about the difference between home brew and piracy is understandable since it matters little in terms of how to use them. I pointed the user to wikihow; i got no idea of the guidelines over there, but at least i think it has a chance. Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 16:53, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- It's not worthless maybe I should make it less of a tutorial and more factual - I have tried to do this by showing the differences between the Flashcarts available what do you guys suggest I do?

- There is already an article Nintendo DS storage devices. Some of the devices in that article are unreferenced. Perhaps the article could use some cleanup? APL (talk) 17:47, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong delete and borderline speedy delete as very close to being spam. Seems to be promoting a website of the same name. I also agree that, in its current state, it's also a how-to and also contains information redundant to the articles mentioned above. MuZemike 19:03, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
