Fails WP:GNG: non-notable emulator with no references based on reliable, third-party published sources. I looked for sources and found only a handful of trivial mentions, not the "significant coverage" that we require, plus the usual unreliable sources like forum posts and user-generated wikis. The subject may become notable in the future, of course, but we can always recreate the article at that time. Woodroar (talk) 18:13, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
XQEMU is a monumental achievement of software engineering. The Xbox is perhaps the most difficult to emulate console ever made, so the work of the QEMU and XQEMU teams cannot be understated - this an effort 18 years in the making. If you don't understand why software is notable for an encyclopedia, I encourage you to check out this list of pages for comparable emulators which are equally notable and similarly written and cited: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_game_emulators , particularly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenia_(emulator), or RPCS3, Dolphin, Cemu, PCSX2, PPSSPP, ZSNES, Xenia, Citra, ePSXe, Project64, Visual Boy Advance, and Nestopia.
Also, if you look at their history, you'll see that the nominating user is a serial hostile deletionist. I encourage you to please try to make articles better rather than trying to destroy them, and please don't waste the time of the people who actually do still try to make positive contributions to Wikipedia.
