I don't think any of these chips are notable, so the list certainly isn't. TheAwesome Hwyh 01:10, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

- Delete - I boldly and uncontroversially redirected the article two years ago because it completely fails our notability criteria, but it was undone purely in the technicality that it’s not mentioned at the parent article. Which is correct, it doesn’t even warrant a mention there. None of the items on the list have their own article. The article is almost entirely unsourced, and what is there, isn’t a reliable source (the Engadget source, while reliable, is a passing mention on a side tangent). Reliable sources don’t cover the subject in significant detail. Sergecross73 msg me 01:26, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per the last two sentences of Sergecross73's rationale. That being said, I strongly disagree that the redirection was uncontroversial, and it pains me to see that they are still defending that action. The list should have been nominated for deletion back in 2018, not swept under the rug to be cleaned up a couple years later. The Wii article does not and should not have a list of drivechips, so having a redirect to that page, along with all the drivechips themselves, is misleading and confusing for anyone using these redirects. -- Tavix ( talk) 02:42, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
- My point about it being uncontroversial is merely pointing out that there is no one actually arguing for the article’s existence on the grounds of notability - back then or now - nothing else. That in itself is a valid point to bring to the discussion. AFDs are often opened up over people’s differing views on notability. That is not the case here.

- Strong delete. Blatant fail of WP:NOTLINKFARM and none of the list entries are notable. Ajf773 ( talk) 08:18, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
