Besides a single Engadget review (the "Wii vs. Vii First Shot" source), the sources appear to either be unreliable (such as GoNintendo) or trivial mentions such as minor announcements/mentions, making it fail WP:GNG. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 00:35, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:GNG, no substantial coverage. The Banner talk 15:48, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Wii with further discussion of knockoff Wii consoles based on these sources: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 20:47, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to VII as {{R from other capitalisation}}. Charcoal feather (talk) 01:15, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if it's redirected it will have to be moved to Vii (console) beforehand. A new redirect at this name can be created if necessary (though it's not actually necessary) ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 23:16, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Moving it to Vii (console) is a good idea. Dr. Precursor (talk) 23:36, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: No consensus. Article page moves can occur if an article is Kept but can not be carried out by a closer because it's an editing decision. If you want an article moved, first vote to Keep it then a move can be discussed. But right now, we also have arguments to Delete and Redirect so no consensus exists.

Delete - Doesn't have the sources to meet the WP:GNG. The Wii is already an WP:FA without a mention of the Vii, so I believe that shows that's it's of little importance of the Wii and not worth a redirect. Sergecross73 msg me 14:14, 6 July 2024 (UTC))[reply]
@Sergecross73: While I believe the Wii article may be in good shape, that doesn't necessarily mean it is complete. There's multiple quality sources discussing the creation of knockoffs of the Wii, so I don't think it'd be a problem to mention this fact and the existence of the Vii in particular. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 09:26, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I hear you. FA's are not perfect. But I think it's telling that an article that has existed for almost 2 decades, and has had enough experienced editor's interest to get it to FA status, never felt it was important enough to include this... Sergecross73 msg me 03:11, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of Wii clones. Partially because of the sources by Cukie Gherkin, there are enough sources for Wii knockoffs as a whole to be notable, if not the Vii alone. Dr. Precursor (talk) 14:35, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You can't redirect to an article that doesn't exist, it'll just be deleted. Also don't delete comments and write new things. WP:STRIKE the old comments if they dont apply anymore. Sergecross73 msg me 20:28, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, If a Wii clone section with a mention to Vii is ever written at Wii, this can be recreated and redirected there. --Mika1h (talk) 13:40, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That’s a good suggestion. I may work on something related to Wii clones. Dr. Precursor (talk) 15:03, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
