Create a NEC and PC-88 Page
You know how we have a page about Philips and the Philips CD-i. I think we can do the same with NEC and their PC-88 home computer. The NEC PC-88 did had 3 Mario games released for it so we can create an article for it. For the NEC article we can go into a brief history of the company and then go into the Nintendo and Hudson Soft's perspective only just like with the Philips article. For the PC-88 page we can do a similar thing like the CD-i page and go over the system's history in brief and and talk about the three Mario games on this home computer. We can try to abide by the wiki's manual of style and be trying to keep it relevant as possible. Also,NEC did also did help by producing some of the chips Nintendo uses in their consoles such as the GameCube and Wii. I created the NEC article already.

Proposer: Deadline: July 24, 2014, 23:59 GMT

Create an article for both the parent company NEC and the PC-88

 * 1) Per my proposal.

Create an article for the PC 88 only

 * 1) Per proposal. Just this is enough, there isn't much Mario related things for NEC.
 * 2) Per Triple-K.
 * 3) Per Triple-K.
 * 4) Per Triple-K: I cann't see the point of copying Wikipedia...
 * 5) Per all.

Do Nothing

 * 1) Per standard procedure. You don't need community consensus to create an article for a standard topic. Generally, you'd bring articles here when either a consensus can't be reached or a more drastic measure is being suggested. These are standard topic articles that I agree we've been missing. Go make them both, with my blessings, and we'll go from there.

Comments
You know that NEC do have an involvement with Nintendo, besides they make some of the Wii and GameCube and Wii U hardware chips. It does not all necessarily have to do with Mario.It's the involvement with Nintendo that matters the most just like with the Philips article. Even though we are the Super Mario Wiki for the case of the NEC article we only talk about Nintendo's involvement.For crying out loud, it's Nintendo who is the creator and the creator Nintendo deserves more than Mario on the NEC article.
 * NEC has not been directly invovled in the production or distribution of a Mario game (afaic), making a page for them would be coverage creep. Many companies contribute hardware for Nintendo's systems, but nobody's asking for AMD or IBM to get pages. --Glowsquid (talk) 17:05, 20 July 2014 (EDT)
 * So Philips only deserves an article because they distrubuted and produced a Mario game. NEC doesn't deserve and article due to not being involved with the production of a Mario game. I mean Hudson Soft made 3 Mario games and NEC would have an involvement with Hudson Soft with the NEC TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine so isn't that full circle.

"So Philips only deserves an article because they distrubuted and produced a Mario game" Leaving aside that there were two other Mario and one Donkey Kong game stuck in development hell, yes. If you can't *prove* NEC was actually involved in those PC098 games, it doesn't warrant a page. Conjecture doesn't replace facts. --Glowsquid (talk) 18:33, 20 July 2014 (EDT)
 * Actually,so the company should have a Mario game published in order to qualify for an article? NEC were probably the licensee of these games and so were Nintendo.So the NEC article should be deleted,right?

Guys, only a thing... how many NEC Mario games are there? 4?
 * Nelsonic Game Watch has like 6, so I don't think quantity of games really matters. What matters more is its relevance to Nintendo and the Mario series. 16:49, 22 July 2014 (EDT)
