Article seems to be written like an advertisement. The subject alone doesn't seem to be notable either to separate it from the Commodore 64 article. I found a few reliable sources upon a quick Google search on the Commodore 64 homebrew scene but I don't think it's enough coverage to establish general notability and it's only worthy of a short sub-section in its parent subject's article at best. letcreate123 (talk) 05:27, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

delete under WP:TNT. I'm not sure this could even make for a standalone article, as this could be covered in the main article, but it's current state needs a complete overwrite for it to meet policies. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 12:50, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete any information here should be within the main commodore 64 article. I don't think there's articles for any other retro consoles emulations Seasider91 (talk) 17:02, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- C64 seems to be the main retro target for e.g. new games. But I would be very happy for someone to make an similar article for e.g. the Amiga. Thue (talk) 21:58, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
keep as main author of article. The claim that there is no reliable sources is false. For example from the New York Times: A Toy With a Story For Game Makers, Inspiration In the Soul of an Old Machine (and these were not hard to find). The C64 Direct-to-TV sold 70,000 units on its first day, so new retro hardware for the C64 is quite popular. Just for game publishing, there are multiple publishers publishing new C64 games - surely that qualifies for an article. Thue (talk) 21:57, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The article creator needs to learn the difference between a reliable source and an unreliable one. Even if it is notable enough, it needs to be WP:TNT and rewritten to comply with Wikipedia standards._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 22:13, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- You do not think New York Times which I linked is a reliable source? Thue (talk) 22:15, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - I think that all the sources in the article are dubious since they are either WP:PRIMARY or unreliable (not to mention incorrectly formatted). A couple of NY Times articles will not prove independent notability over something that could merely be added to Commodore 64 main article._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 22:17, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The New York Times article, etc, prove it meets the general notability guidelines just fine. Dream Focus 01:44, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:TNT. The NYT source is nice, but the article itself is almost entirely written according to fansites, and honestly the article reads like something that a fansite would host. It should be greatly trimmed/streamlined and put into the main article - a spin out is unnecessary. Sergecross73 msg me 11:49, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
