IPhone (Linksys)

A non-notable line of phones that only got an article because it shared the name of the (then-rumored) Apple iPhone. Now that we know the Apple iPhone exists, this Linksys product line is not of importance anymore. Cisco, the maker of the Linksys iPhone, is in the final stages of negotiations to sell the iPhone trademark to Apple Inc. [1] Scepia 22:50, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Dude, your CNN article says they are making negotiations. Negotiations can go either way, and Cisco could possibly end up licensing the iPhone name to Apple for all we know. EricJosepi 00:34, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Not sure how this isn't notable, but it's verifiable and factual. Wikipedia is better with this article than it would be without. Philwelch 23:06, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Coment There was only an article because of the Apple rumors. If the Apple iPhone never existed, this would never be here, and even though the name is notable, the product is not. Scepia 23:46, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Seems fairly notable; sure, not as notable as the (Apple) iPhone, but that isn't a criteria for inclusion/deletion. Even if Cisco is in the process of selling the trademark, that doesn't necessarily mean the Linksys iPhone will poof out of existence. schi ^talk 23:13, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, notable means written about in nontrivial ways in reliable sources, not important or major. It might not be the massive fame that apple's getting, but this definitely meets the standards for products. I wish I could reach through the internet to shove the actual guidelines in people's face when they abuse the term "non-notable". Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 23:24, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I wish I could reach through the internet and shove sales figures on you. Yes, they would read - 000,000,000. Scepia 23:46, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Sales figures don't determine notability. "Linksys iphone" (with quotes) gets 164,000 google hits, including nontrivial reviews of the product itself. "Infogear iphone" turns up 24,100 hits and several reviews. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 00:05, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. --Zimbabweed 23:25, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'd go for delete unless it has sold a huge number, or has notable features that differentiate it from other models of internet phones. As for the earlier Infogear device, is it famous for anything? Internet appliance doesn't list it as a notable example of the type. The history of the trademark might be worth a sentence or two in the Apple iPhone article, but I'm not sure if either of the previous devices themselves are notable.

Keep. It's a real product. --Mongol 23:51, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. People will need to know the difference between the two products anyways when they come here, and this is a real bullshit reason for deletion, which is why everyone's voting Keep.--75.57.25.194 23:55, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
'Redirect to new product name pending trademark negotiations. --Nsevs • Talk 23:58, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Linksys had the TM long before Apple registered iPhone.org. Linksys had the iPhone FIRST! It is more notable than the iPhone! Cisco Trademark Info (USPTO) EricJosepi 00:26, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep it is notable, when Cisco announces new name, then redirect. --rogerd 00:37, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep it is a real product and it's not being mistaken for the Apple iPhone. 129.137.149.106 00:39, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep because plenty of lesser-known phones are catalogued on Wiki: Nokia 6131, Samsung SGH-D500, Sony Ericsson J230 etc. If you keep those, you keep this. 203.15.102.65 00:48, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment WP:INN. Scepia 01:02, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - For God's sake, can you nerds PLEASE leave comments that are longer than five characters in length? Especially when those five characters are an obscure initialism to some guy's essay on Wikipedia? Philwelch 04:19, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, it does satisfy WP:NOTABILITY --Mhking 01:26, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- how does it not being made by Apple make it any less notable? Also it will be highly relevant once Apple gets the ever-loving shit sued out of them. --Hosterweis 01:47, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Apple is finishing a deal with Linksys for the iPhone trademark. Scepia 02:31, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep an obsolete, unpopular device, but it did exist and is the focus of attention due to the shared name. Dlodge 02:14, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Though it's largely overshadowed by Apple's iPhone, it's still a product that's relatively notable. Ourai ^т _с 02:29, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Appears to satisfy WP:Notability and I liked being able to see in WP what this thing is and its history, which helped me to understand the controversy. RVJ 05:40, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Notable product. Looks like a landslide "keep" vote here. --Andylkl ^{[ talk! | c ]} 06:38, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
