The result was merge into new article list of Motorola V series phones. Time to bring out the table skillz :) --bainer (talk) 06:56, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Motorola V60i

At first, I realise that mass nominations can scare some editors. In this case, however, it is to be noted that these phones are clearly non-notable. (See WP:N and WP:PRODUCT). In fact the V and the W series themselves are not notable. (Those missing in the list are already nominated for deletion here and here)

I am also nominating the following related pages:

Keep, It's certainly a product users might search for. I did, which is why I created the page in the first place. If nothing else, merge it into a larger article about this series of phones. – Mipadi 00:27, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I understand your point. However,please see WP:USEFUL Tomj 00:34, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This is, however, useful information that is also encyclopedic. It's not merely a repository of a list information that can easily be found elsewhere. – Mipadi 15:12, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - There's got to be a way to present this information more efficiently in a single article, maybe using tables. The individual numbers can all redirect if needed. Torc2 01:06, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into a series article as first choice, Keep as second choice. Seems notable and verifiable, but series articles make more sense to me. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:11, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge all info into List of Motorola phones, or a similar page. These are not notable on their own, but as products of a notable company I can see people searching for them. -- Kesh 02:14, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all Generally unreferenced or poorly referenced articles. Fail WP:N. Wikipedia is not a catalog. Edison 02:52, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the lot or perhaps redirect. This reminds me of an encounter I had with a similar bunch of "articles". MER-C 08:26, 23 October 2007 (UTC)}}[reply]
Merge into one article about the series per User:Kesh or User:Torc2 Bjewiki 14:56, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect. For a suggestion on a merge target, every single one of these phones pretty much has firmware that is remarkably similar to a Motorola V3 (aka the RAZR). --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 02:52, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect all. Motorolacruft. Burntsauce 16:47, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge all. Runs afoul of WP:PRODUCT, but the best resolution for that is merge not delete. Mdmkolbe 22:38, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I own this phone and WP was the first place I looked for helpful information. The article is useful & notable, but merging it is not the way to go because despite Dennisthe2's comments that the firmware is similar to the RAZR, it's not! Most phone models produced in the last 5 years have custom firmware and model-specific customizable features, and therefore require separate listings to cover the intricacies of each model.

Merge and redirect all Too many seperate, poorly written entries. Just because there are minor differences between models, doesn't validate the idea that there should be seperate entries. This topic could be better covered in a larger article that was broader in scope rather than lists of technical characteristics.--Evilbred (talk) 20:36, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, merge into one, and redirect all ... Some of the information is useful and interesting to read. I don't think we should throw it away all together. It's helpful. 68.3.214.66 (talk) 08:29, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
