Yet articles about every random fictional TV show starring fictional characters performing fictional deeds in fictional locations, are not allowed to be deleted because they are "notable for being mentioned in the mainstream media".

Any "encyclopedia" that deletes factual information but keeps fictional information is a joke.


The information on TV shows isn't fictional - the TV show actually exists, and has been seen by millions of people the world over. Read any Wikipedia article on the Simpsons for example, and it will tell you what happened in the episode. That is a fictional storyline with fictional characters, but it's a fact that the episode existed and had that storyline. Your post doesn't make any sense in that regard.

To be honest I'm not so sure Natami should have a page on Wikipedia. As others have pointed out, there are many, many small-scale electronics projects under development in the world, the vast majority of which won't have any impact whatsoever outside a small circle of people who are involved in the project itself, and will never be talked about in mainstream news. The X1000 is, for want of a better phrase, "more serious" than Natami, since it's been demonstrated at several computer shows, and has been talked about in mainstream media. There are a couple of businesses involved, press releases and so on, which add weight to its image as more than a hobby electronics project.
