Untitled[edit]

Are there standards for this article?

apparently not. Lets think of some. I'm thinking things like 'is an oem supplier,is a first party manufacturer, not solely a re-brand,operates sales formally (not gray marketed) in more than 3 countries,' and stuff like that.RCHM 18:27, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

criteria for listing[edit]

Okay, nobody else here but me for now. I say at least these should be good criteria to start.

Manufactures their own products, or owns/operates the manufacturing process of their products
Officially sells products with a business/corporate representation in at least 2 nations
Is notable enough to already have an article

and with those to start, i'll go trimming.RCHM 01:34, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been over-trimmed. Having a Wikipedia page can not be used as a criterion for existence. It would be better if each driver manufacturer was listed with its related brands underneath - it would be helpful to see who actually makes the drivers for the rebrands if this info is available, rather than arbitrarily deleting brands.

Why can't having a Wikipedia page be a criteria? (i need you to qualify that for me) And also, driver manufacture is not the only component of car audio/ice manufacture. Some companies are completely empty socks that re-brand a prefabbed product. Literally, 3 companies could sell the exact same speaker or HU that they bought a license from, but have no relation to the company they bought it from. Even if we could source each companies' parent manufacturer, i've already tried to set it up as listing under the parent, like in jbl's case. RCHM (talk) 20:01, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

method of listing[edit]

Companies with multple brands should be listed under one line starting with the highest parent company in its heirarchy.RCHM 01:53, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

afd this?[edit]

The more i look at it, the more i think this should go away, and what it tries to do would be better served using categories instead.RCHM 19:33, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
