The sources are two links to the brand's website and two YouTube videos. I couldn't find any other sources through a WP:BEFORE that demonstrate this product's notability. BuySomeApples (talk) 04:44, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: As noted, two of the refs link to the company website, and the other two are videos on YouTube which appear to be reviews of the topic. When searching the subject, most of the links that appear are on shopping sites such as eBay and Amazon, and there doesn’t appear to be any real significant coverage of the subject on websites not affiliated with the subject.

Merge to List of ZX Spectrum clones. One good reference in Retro Gamer (paywalled [1] or [2]), and one where I'm unsure of reliability: [3], and I think we have enough for a mention. ~ A412 talk! 17:30, 14 April 2025 (UTC)- I think there are around five good sources that have been identified. Fine to keep. ~ A412 talk! 18:10, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
MergeKeep per A412.Retro Gamer reference is sufficient for inclusion.Additional sources found establish notability of the article subject (in my POV). Pavlor (talk) 05:02, 16 April 2025 (UTC)MergeKeep per A 412. Both Time Extension and Retro Gamer are reliable per WP:VG/RS. --Mika1h (talk) 12:51, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
Hi, I created the page. It was reviewed in PC Pro, Retro Gamer and Crash magazines. It's a proper boxed manufactured product. It served as continued reading from the ZX Spectrum Vega+ article. The mag reviews mention Vega+ (notorious product). Happy if you think it belongs elsewhere but I'm unsure if it's defined as an actual clone (a "copy"), as per merging it to the ZX Spectrum clones page mentioned above. Isn't clone defined as around the same hardware? I am familiar with N-Go and it's a clone of the ZX Spectrum Next machine, for instance. Revolt (talk) 13:26, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- Can you please provide references to those sources such that they can be evaluated? The question being evaluated is one of notability.

- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Pretty near to merge, but would like to see Revolt's probable references they mentioned.

- Comment The PC Pro review looks like another good source to me. Adam Sampson (talk) 12:41, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
- Comment - Changed my vote to keep since three pieces of significant coverage have been discovered and those are enough for notability: Retro Gamer, Time Extension and PC Pro. Additionally this Crash magazine issue: [4] has a "hands on" that could be also SIGCOV. --Mika1h (talk) 17:41, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
