I believe this is advertising, doesnt appear notable on Google news, and all the sites are hosted by the company who makes them. Sadads (talk) 00:33, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Can't follow you one bit - what advertising do you mean? The Amiga is computer history and nothing that's been seriously marketed for 16 years. Zac67 (talk) 19:13, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Read the article, chock full of Advertising language, and any searches on Google are linked to publications of the company that makes it. Sadads (talk) 19:18, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Are you sure we're talking about the same article? Amiga custom chips is about the special hardware that was used in the Amiga line computers from 1985-1994. What advertising language are you talking about? And what's Google got to do with it? And what publications are you referring to? Commodore's? Commodore Business Machines is extinct since '94. The label still exists but it's got nothing to do with Amiga or the scope of the article. *verypuzzled* Zac67 (talk) 20:48, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I must admit I'm as puzzled as Zac when it comes to the supposed advertising tinge of this article. It's about components of old Amiga computers, not upgrades or the like, these chips form parts of the computers themselves. If anyone's offering them for sale then presumably it's enthusiasts who've broken up old machines. Not that I'm supporting deletion or retention of the article, just pointing out that advertising isn't in play here. Someoneanother 20:58, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Nevermind, I was confusing the sources I found with the article, still not sure if the piece is notable though. Sadads (talk) 22:16, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - perhaps the original nom. was misguided. However, the article is a bit on the stubby side and doesn't really explain why these chipsets are notable. Eddie.willers (talk) 15:31, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - My point of view is that this is far more retro computer history than advisement. Marko75 (talk) 19:26, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Given the history of the Amiga custom chips, I think it should be kept. All the article needs is a little expansion and citations and it's all good to go. Fridae'§Doom | Talk to me 12:15, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
