- Comment: Per past rejection reasons. Primarily primary citations with little to no proper sourcing that illustrates notability of the subject. Please find some secondary, reliable sources covering this subject. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 17:36, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Notable from my own research, but the article is currently unfinished as it stands. Needs secondary sources that are not just from Yamaha's website. Ask, and I may be able to help. Why? I Ask (talk) 20:57, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
