Article is mostly WP:OR. Any slight extra info can easily be added to the article on the console without being undue. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:25, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

a merge sounds in accordance to policy to me. Blitzfan51 speak to the manager 19:04, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Support. Xbox modding article as it stands does not seem like an article suitable for Wikipedia, for both its sourcing and formatting. Merko (talk) 21:36, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Support barely any substantial information. It could even be deleted altogetherBlue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 14:44, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

• Support, but just delete it. The article is supported primarily by weak sourcing, no need to mention beyond, perhaps, that the Xbox can and has been modded. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 18:13, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

@Zxcvbnm: @Merko: @Blitzfan51: Do any of you object to Xbox modding being deleted? If not, I will put it up as a proposed deletion. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 05:22, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

I don't really see a reason to delete it, it's a valid search term. It would literally redirect to the "Modding" section in the Xbox article making it the most accurate redirect name wise. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:51, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

Agreed with Zxcvbnm, can stay as redirect Merko (talk) 08:29, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

Mentioning Insignia, the Xbox Live replacement servers

It's worth adding the mention of Insignia, the Xbox Live replacement server, under the section "Discontinuation and Successors", alongside the mention of Xlink Kai. This brings back the proper online functionality of the console

Here is the link to the Insignia Wikipedia page:

Correct the FLOPS number on the Xbox's GPU.

The Xbox Floating-Point performance figure is innacurate, the article linked doesn't specify where the 20GFLOPS figure comes from.

It was debated on Beyond3D forums, and the conclusion is that the GPU has 4.66GFLOPS of Floating-Point performance. Please, edit this.

 Not done Wikipedia can't use a forum thread as a citation, see WP:RS. We have to stick with the existing Eurogamer figure. - MrOllie (talk) 13:22, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

I see, then the figure should at least be removed, because it's not only wrong, but also Eurogamer didn't cite that number at all. JidoBarbeiro (talk) 18:03, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

By the way, here is a videogame conference from Europe that has the corrected number:

Look at minute 7, please.

In case the source is still considered not reliable, the Wikipedia page on reliable sources says that Wikipedia should not have a saying on ambiguous subjects, so it should be removed. JidoBarbeiro (talk) 19:06, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
