Talk:List of home computers by video hardware
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dear sir,
Is not everything on wikipedia a 'work in progress'? Let me first say I totaly agree that this would become a gigantic list, or rather a rather large table, as I intend to use a table not a list, the list is just a temporary solution. But be assured that I won't let others do the work, I intend to do it myself.
I do have the information available, I have a rather large library of older computer magazines and other material, so (most) of the information is available from a relaible source. Other detailed information can be found on the web or from the relevant pages of each system/
At the moment my main concern is how to convert the list to a table, but that is a technicality. I intend to create something like List of Intel chipsets, and I do think that it is of encyclopedic value.
Of course you might disagree, but a table (list) like this is not an unicum, there is even a category for lists like these. I simply want to compile available information in a simple to use table so thatgives an overview of the technical details of the video hardware of old home computers. The list will likely become shorter than the "list of home computers" because many variants of systems share the same basic video system. Mahjongg 17:59, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
I agree that this page should be kept. It will serve a similar purpose as List of home computers by category, which has been around since 2003, but by video hardware, not be CPU. Madlobster 20:21, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks Madlobster, to show I am serious I started and created the table. I will continue working on it, and even will add a few home computers that are not on the list of home computers (yet). Mahjongg 22:41, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

The stated speedy rationale, which I have reproduced in full below, is not a criterion for speedy deletion. Take it to WP:PROD or WP:AFD. — Kaustuv Chaudhuri 23:26, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
