Brown goods are almost always serviceable down to "component-level" (integrated circuits, transistors, etc),

Is this really true in a practical sense anymore? MartinPool 00:18, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think the opposite is more true now. If my washing machine or dish washer breaks, I'm getting someone to take it apart and fix it; if my DVD player breaks, it's going in the trash. Does anyone object to totally rewriting this section? ike9898 23:01, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Where in the English speaking world is this word used?

Here in the US I don't recall ever hearing it. Is it more common elsewhere? ike9898 23:01, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"white" and "brown"?

Is it among professional economists that the terms "white goods" and "brown goods" are used? I've never heard of them before. Wikipedia is not the place to introduce neologisms. If there is some particular community, such as economists or department store sales personnel or the like that uses these terms, the article should say so.

Just because you never heard, does not mean that the terms do not exist, "White Goods" are defined by all the major dictionaries, for example here is Merriam-Webster's defintion: [1]--Hq3473 00:20, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Major" appliance

This is a rediculous title. Who ever says major appliance. Have a page on appliances maybe. This is like having a page on Big Trees. The term white good is a perfect term as it is COMMONLY used and highlights the nature of manufacture and possible uses.
