  • Reviewed: N/A; second article submission
  • Comment: While this article was the result of a merger (of five articles), it was extensively copy edited by me, so very little of the original content from each article remains as-is in the final product currently.
    Also, there's an ongoing, but stale debate in the talk page for the Nintendo Entertainment System article over the idea of spitting part of it to form a new Famicom article. I don't think consensus can be reached (I submitted a closure request because of this), but if needed, I can have the hook refer to the Famicom as the NES instead.

Moved to mainspace by SmartAn01 (talk). Self-nominated at 02:04, 30 July 2022 (UTC).

• Article is neutral, meets the required length, and is sufficiently referenced. Moved to mainspace on 29 July 2022, the day before this nomination. Hook is interesting, succinct, and reliably sourced; I would definitely prefer some alt options in future, but this one is good. Nominator is exempt from QPQ. This is good to go! – Rhain ☔ 05:47, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
  • Rhain: Sorry for the lack of options; when I initially submitted this article, I didn't notice any factoids that were interesting enough to bring up other than the Sharp consoles. I did consider the Nintendo VS. System, but I couldn't come up with a feasible hook considering it has its own separate article. I managed to expand this article since the move to mainspace and found some other interesting factoids; if you're interested, I propose

  • Other than that, I'm fine proceeding with the original hook. CascadeUrbanite (talk) 07:40, 11 August 2022 (UTC) (formerly SmartAn01)
    • @CascadeUrbanite: No need to apologise! The original hook is great, so it's not a big deal, but I appreciate the alt! Always good to give the promoter more choices. – Rhain ☔ 09:40, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
