Merger proposal

The following is a closed discussion of a proposed merger. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the proposed merger was: Not done. no consensus to merge. BLAIXX 16:09, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposed of iPhone 11 Pro into iPhone 11. I'm not the nom. {{u|waddie96}} {talk} 14:20, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly Oppose the merge. The iPhone X and iPhone 8 are both seperate articles, even though they were released at the same time. This also applies to the iPhone XS and iPhone XR, as well as the iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S. Devices in Apple's Pro lineup, such as the MacBook Pro and MacBook, and iPad Pro and iPad (7th generation), each have their own articles, so I don't see the difference with the iPhone 11 Pro and the iPhone 11 Pro Max. ClueCog (talk) 19:18, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose the merge. The iPhone XR and iPhone XS each have their own article, so why can't the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro?? Georgia guy (talk) 13:38, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support the merge. The name Pro only denotes an improved variant of the same generation of iPhone. I actually support merging iPhone XR and iPhone XS as this will reduce ambiguity and resources used to maintain articles.Alexceltare2 (talk) 13:47, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose the merge. We have separate articles for the MacBook and iPad Pro, so it makes sense for this to have its own page too. HurricaneGeek2002 (talk) 14:09, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Pro simply indicates a variant of the iPhone 11. The article should rather discuss the variant in the body. {{u|waddie96}} {talk} 14:22, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging @Taewangkorea, Ghostofakina, Kitcatx, Nigos, Anthony Appleyard, JJMC89, and HitroMilanese: {{u|waddie96}} {talk} 14:27, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per User:Georgia guy. The 11 and 11 Pro have different displays, cameras, etc. Syntaxlord (talk) 14:24, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose while the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro share some common characteristics (A13 SoC, Wide & Ultra Wide camera, etc.) there are enough differences between the two models for each to have a standalone article. The reception each phone will receive will not be the same as well. Reviewers will likely compare iPhone 11 to its predecessors the iPhone XR and iPhone 8 while the iPhone 11 Pro will be compared to iPhone XS and iPhone X. Trying to merge iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro (and even iPhone XR and iPhone XS) together will create hard to read articles and likely cause even more confusion to casuals who don't understand why Apple has named their phones in this manner. Keeping iPhone XR and iPhone 11 as separate articles its easier to establish that they are successors to the iPhone 8. The same is true for the other models, keeping iPhone XS and iPhone 11 Pro separate its easier to establish that they are successors to the iPhone X and are the flagships. The only problem with recent articles about iPhones in general is they are not as developed as previous articles like the iPhone 6. If articles about the more recent phones like the XR and XS were more developed then we wouldn't need to merge them. Alucard 16_{❯❯❯ chat?} 15:13, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Oppose iPhone XR and iPhone XS have separate articles, and so do iPhone 8 and iPhone X, although they were both released at the same time. Their successors also should. Apple intended them to be different phones (see Apple website:https://www.apple.com/iphone/) so there should be separate articles, similar to the past two years of iPhone releases. Taewangkorea (talk) 16:24, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose There's too much a lot of technical differences (and also the descriptions of each model in infobox) to be merged into one article.Consumers (talk) 18:02, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Strongly support iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus to iPhone 6 and iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, are parts of the same family. iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max too. But iPhone XR and iPhone XS are not part of the same. --Panam2014 (talk) 18:54, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose This section of the iPhone Apple website here: https://www.apple.com/iphone/, gives the answer. Two sections separately for the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro, logically it's the same for the articles.Consumers (talk) 19:06, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Pretty much everything I wanted to say has already been said. The iPhone 8 & 8 Plus, for example, are almost the same phone, and therefore, they shared pages, on both Apple's website and Wikipedia. However, the iPhone XS & XR are very different, and have separate pages. The iPhone 11 and 11 Pro are in a near identical situation. This makes the argument that 6-8 line share pages very weak. Plus, because they're so different, the article would be too confusing and hard to read. So yeah, I don't think these pages should be merged. JdRDMS 9:41, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
Oppose keep the same as the prior generation, XS and XR separately, 11 Pro and 11 separately. —DIYeditor (talk) 23:20, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose they're different phones - every previous generation of normal/budget iphone has had separate pages for each model 24.56.77.198 (talk) 23:37, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Wikiped201820 (talk) 23:58, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose iPhone 11 is the successor to the iPhone XR. However, it is not a direct successor to the iPhone XS (which is succeeded by the iPhone 11 Pro). Cosecant57 (talk) 12:09, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose As stated above, the iPhone XR and iPhone XS are separate, so what makes this any different? Also, it would get pretty confusing if you tried to stuff all the different specs into the same article.Thanks, EDG 543 (talk) 13:42, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Apparently people think that the 11 and 11 Pro are like the XS and XS Max, or the 8 and the 8 plus. The 11 Pro is NOT just a modified 11, it is an ENTIRELY SEPARATE phone. MacOS Master (talk) 9:26, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
Oppose The 11 and 11 Pro have enough differences to be seperate. The pro is the first professional iPhone, which makes it notable. --Frmorrison (talk) 19:01, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose It should not get moved into 1 page. 2 pages wo — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.173.183.221 (talk) 19:45, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, keep separate - two different products. 11 is mainstream. 11pro is 50% more expensive or more, has a different number of cameras, has a different screen, etc. XavierItzm (talk) 21:37, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Oppose iPhone XR and iPhone XS are separate articles, so should this. Let's keep things in line with what we've done in the past. Apple calls them different phones, and they have different pages on the Apple website. MattSandy34 (talk) 15:26, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I will be short. Should a chart that includes pricing information of the iPhone 11 in various countries (in USD) be included in the article? Taewangkorea (talk) 00:47, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sure why not if well referenced. It is interesting how prices vary globally for a product.Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:04, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Price

This source appears independent?[1] So do not see justification for removing this. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 16:35, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't remove the prices, but I believe the justification was WP:NOPRICE. --Yamla (talk) 17:11, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and that requires "independent sources" Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 17:58, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid this is incredibly difficult to see as good faith, and have brought up the concern with Doc James: User_talk:Doc_James#Prices_for_medications

The source is a simple listing, demonstrating no encyclopedic value. This is exactly why NOT includes NOPRICES. --Ronz (talk) 18:00, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose including the list of prices. I take this position solely based on my belief that it clutters up the article; I do not make this argument on WP:NOPRICES grounds. I don't believe that information is particularly useful. The vast majority of visitors will only care how much the iPhone is in their local currency. I know that's all I care about. The fact that I can get it cheaper in Australia isn't meaningful to me at all. --Yamla (talk) 18:05, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support including the list of prices using an independent source. It is helpful to know the different prices. Readers can find out about their local price when reading about the list of prices. QuackGuru (talk) 18:11, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support per Wikipedia:Prices which says "Wikipedia has no specific policy on presenting prices of products". But I would move it lower in the article. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 18:22, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The source provides absolutely none of the policy-required required justification: WP:NOT: An article should not include product pricing or availability information unless there is an independent source and a justified reason for the mention. Encyclopedic significance may be indicated if mainstream media sources (not just product reviews) provide commentary on these details instead of just passing mention. --Ronz (talk) 16:38, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Oppose WP:NOPRICE and by the fact that the macindex does not appear to be a mainstream reliable source. Also, the chart clutters up the article and similar charts are not listed in other iPhone articles such as iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 8, iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone X, and others. We should follow precedent. Taewangkorea (talk) 17:29, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:NOPRICE: "An article should not include product pricing or availability information unless there is an independent source and a justified reason for the mention." "Encyclopedic significance may be indicated if mainstream media sources (not just product reviews) provide commentary on these details instead of just passing mention." Also, prices will change, especially when newer iPhones come out, so will the price table be updated every time? And including the price table without any justified reason/commentary seems to give the article a bit of a promotional-ish tone. Someone963852 (talk) 02:24, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: Let's not forget that US market pricing for all devices is already included in the iPhone article, making this section redundant. If viewers outside of the United States wish to know the price in their market, they can simply go to their respective Apple website. As a further note, the Pixel 3 had a similar debate over pricing, and its section was ultimately removed. I suggest we do the same with this article. Ghostofakina (talk) 04:09, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

If no one can make a case that NOPRICE is met, or somehow we have an encyclopedic exception to NOPRICE, then we're wasting our time here trying to create local consensus against content policy. --Ronz (talk) 03:10, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
