Up, down, left, right, A, B, C, Start

This is the cheat code for the Sonic the Hedgehog video game. Gamecruft. Zzyzx11 | Talk 06:23, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

If it was me, I wouldn't have even made it a vfd. Looks like a speedy delete to me. Sholtar 06:24, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Hedgehogcruft. Nothing here that does not go better on the main page for the game. Notice I didn't say Merge, tho. -- 8^D ^gab 06:52, 2005 Apr 9 (UTC)
• Delete, Wikipedia is not a list of cheats. Martg76 08:17, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Usually I am very liberal with keeping "fancruft" but this is going a bit far. Sjakkalle 11:58, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete though it seems reasonable that cheats might warrant a mention in their game's article, but not their own article. Also, unlikely that anyone would search for this (why look it up if they already know the button sequence?) Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:09, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)
• I have nothing against gamecruft, but this is taking it too far, a mention in a game article is fine, though. Delete or merge with Sonic article if needed. I agree with Starblind. Mgm|^(talk) 14:40, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Unencyclopedic by title, plus WP:WIN GameFaqs. Delete. Radiant_* 16:45, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Sonic the Hedgehog, no need to redirect. — JIP | Talk 18:54, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per WP:NOT. --InShaneee 19:30, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with sonic the hedgehog, or delete if that doesn;t work. Howabout1 22:49, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• C, B, A, right, left, down, up, Delete with chainsaw or flamethrower or the most destructive tool available. Gamecruft of non-encyclopedic nature although it's one of the least-secret "secret cheats" ever. Barno 02:59, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, gamescruft. Megan1967 04:07, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, no merge because Wikipedia is not GameFAQS. Dave the Red (talk) 05:31, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
• All these consoles have so boring cheat codes. Back in the day of computers, we used to have codes like MOTHERFUCKENKIWIBASTARD, WHAT A NICE CHEAT, IHATEBROS or KARENBROADHURST. I myself wrote a game with a cheat code over two thousand characters long, but no one's ever heard of it. — JIP | Talk 20:16, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, and I could have swore it was Up, Down, Left, Right, A, Start anyway. Xezbeth 20:18, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)
