	How is any technical information non-enclyopedic? I even linked to the wiki policy stating images shall have accompanying text.] 14:37, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
	:The issue isn't whether technical information is nonencyclopedic; the issue is ''how much'' technical information on a given subject is encyclopedic. You linked to ], which says that images should have appropriate captions, which is indeed A Good And Noble Thing. But the current dispute over how much technical information is appropriate in describing the Xbox 360 doesn't appear to have much of anything to do with image captions. There's always a fine line to be drawn as to how much technical detail is appropriate in an article about a technological subject like the Xbox 360, which is why consensus is so important. But highly-technical information like system bus speeds is generally considered unencyclopedic because most readers of the article won't understand it, and readers who ''do'' understand it (and are looking for that sort of information) will generally want even ''more'' technical info than whatever you can hope to provide them. So a good approach to satisfy both types of readers is to provide a basic set of the more easily-understandable technical specs, and links to primary and secondary sources that provide the remaining technical specs. (Or, if there's so much highly technical material available that there's a genuine benefit to techies in providing an article that collects and summarizes it, then that material can be split off into a separate article.) ] 14:54, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
	*You agree that it is stated wikipolicy to include text with images, correct? Yet you plainly remove it?

			Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.<!-- Template:afd-notice --> ] (]) 17:52, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
	::First, I am not the one who originaly added the information. The page has contained the information for months, and only recently, due to prove a point in a seperate conflict, been removed.
			== Nomination of ] for deletion ==
	::Second, take a look at the page, there isn't a pinch of useful information in that rewrite. If the quick overview user looks at the page, they'd get the name and clock speed of the CPU but looking in the infobox. And reading the hardware section, you get no other information that stated in the infobox. If a user continues beyond the lead/infobox it's showing that they don't want a brief non-details included sections. So this section should be written for the user who doesn't want just the clock speed and name of the CPU, but a user seeking more detailed information about it.(I know that this is wiki Policy, but can't for the life of me find the link to it)
			<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0">]</div>A discussion is taking place as to whether the article ''']''' is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to ] or whether it should be ].
	::Third, if there is a problem with technical information, it's not wiki policy to remove it. Under no circumstances should any verifyable information that a user may want be removed. Take a look at the talk pages, many users have asked for technical information. Which clearly shows that users want such info.
	::Fourth, The original version(all versions before, 3~ days ago) contain helpful, verifyable and revelant information. Everything for any user with knowledge of the subject, looking for specific would find it useful. If an effort was made to keep the information available to technical users, while making it easier to read for non-knowledges wusers, I'd be all for it. The current article doesn't make anything easier to read for the average user. Nothing was done to make anything "technical" more understandable. This version just replaces asteriks with commas and removes anything that they can't work into the article. Along with de-detailing with the terribly, Hideous , should never ever be used in an article terms "wide arrary/variety"(Yuck!, so non informative).] 00:16, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

	**Yes, we already discussed ]. Your argument would have very strong force if I removed the caption from the image. It would have some force if I had altered the image caption in some way. It would have at least slight force if the text I removed were even discussing the same concepts as the bandwidth diagram image. However, none of those things are true, so your argument would appear to have no force whatsoever. The history of who edited what and why isn't very relevant to the question of what belongs in the article in the first place. Yes, a user who proceeds beyond the intro and infobox wants information that's more detailed than that quick overview, but that doesn't mean that there's no such thing as too much detail in the article itself. Yes, unsourced or ] information should be removed, but that doesn't mean that all information is appropriate as long as it's sourced and verifiable. Yes, there will always be users who want information beyond what's in the article; but that's why good articles have links to their sources and to other useful external links on the topic. And yes, the current article has grammatical and structural problems; those problems should be fixed. But that still doesn't have anything to do with whether or not a particular piece of technical information is appropriate. ] 01:17, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

	Put the most accessible parts of the article up front. '''It's perfectly fine for later sections to be highly technical''', if necessary. Those who are not interested in details will simply stop reading at some point, which is why the material they are interested in needs to come first.

I appreciate all comments. Well, except for the mean ones about my mother. I especially appreciate comments telling me when I've misinterpreted Misplaced Pages policies or otherwise let my n00bishness show.
Please add your comments to the end of the page in the usual way.
If you leave me a comment here, I will probably reply here rather than on your talk page, so please keep this page on your watchlist if you're interested in my response. Likewise, if I leave a comment on your page, I'll watch for a reply on your page.
I don't delete comments from this page unless they're really really inappropriate, but old comments will eventually get moved to an archive page.
