Talk:ExA-Arcadia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This feels like ad copy
like why have this over done breakdown of net money just say "unlike other modern arcade systems EXA does not have profit sharing there for the operator keeps more money and therefor value if it even needs to be said at all Nbisbo (talk) 06:40, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- The whole article feels like an advertisement to me, too.
- Stuff like The exA-Arcadia system and company name are derived from the binary number prefix, exa, meaning 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 while Arcadia represents the word, arcade. exA-Arcadia aims to create and support exa number of arcades as their company mission. The company's slogan, Power to the exA, means unlimited possibilities. feels blatantly promotional, most of the article is unsourced, and 91YN, the user who wrote most of the article seems to only write about ExA-Arcadia-related topics.
- I'll leave a COI template on their talk page to try and get some clarification, and I'll leave an template on the article, as well. miranda :3 20:30, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

- Japanese Wikipedia and English Wikipedia have very different standards in regard to sourcing and promotional tone. This article may be acceptable on the Japanese Wikipedia, but certainly does not meet the standards here at the English Wikipedia. miranda :3 23:08, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, I agree with the others that this is clearly too promotional for the English Wikipedia. Much of the article is unsourced, and there are far too many primary sources. I suggest a complete rewrite based on reliable, secondary, independent sources. I'm sorry if you put a lot of work into translating this article, 91YN, but it needs to be brought into compliance with our policies and guidelines. Woodroar (talk) 21:21, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- I've removed some of the more overtly promotional language. It seems like it has been cleaned up quite a bit since this conversation was last replied to JosephCHansen (talk) 14:53, 9 January 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for the initial cleanup, Joseph, I agree the tone is better, but the 'History' section still reads a bit like a press release, like the lists of regional distributors (WP:NOTDIRECTORY). i was thinking about trimming those details to focus more on the games and hardware. Does that sound good? Leo882 (talk) 14:23, 19 January 2026 (UTC)

Potential split
Hello all,
I was considering the possibility of forking the extremely long, list of 63 games that the company has developed onto a separate page, as it seems one of the tags at the top of the article suggests doing so. Any thoughts? I am a newer Wikipedia editor so I am not sure how I would go about doing this, but I am sure it wouldn't be terribly hard.
Kind regards,
