The result was delete. Unfortunately, no one has suggested how it might be verifiable (Google is apparently out), and so it's a clear WP:V/WP:NOR case unless someone recreates it with good references (not to mention a good claim to notability). Sandstein 20:53, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Game set

Game set (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Contested prod. Unreferenced article about a term in a series of video games. Other than a mention in an unsourced section of a Wikipedia article and matching Wikipedia mirrors, a Google search finds no references to the term matching the usage discussed in the article (most of the 201 unique hits use "game set" as a synonym to Video game console) [1]. Delete as per WP:V unless reliable sources are provided to verify the article's claims. Allen3 ^talk 20:56, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Delete - it's just a phrase. Not very significant, and hardly something worthy of an entire article. -- Whpq 21:57, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect to the game that allegedly uses the phrase, or alternatively delete as unverifiable. (I'm pretty sure there's a guideline somewhere that identifies single phrases about which there's nothing to say but "X is a phrase used in Y" as inappropriate article subjects, but I can't immediately remember where.) — Haeleth Talk 16:15, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

  The problem with redirecting to the game is that other articles, Board game (chess or backgammon sets), Tennis score, or Video game console, are arguably better redirection locations. --Allen3 ^talk 17:12, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

  Not sure I agree with that. I haven't heard of the term "game set" for "board game", and in tennis, you have "game, set and match", but not "game set". Stifle (talk) 20:17, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

• Keep or redirect. Easily verifiable. Note the difference between "verified" and "verifiable". Stifle (talk) 18:52, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
