List of smartphones

Redlink Farm, no reasonable definition of "Smartphone". No references. Editors with WP:AGENDA intent on keeping the iPhone off the list. KelleyCook 13:05, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NOT#INFO. Better served as a category. Nenyedi • ^{(Deeds•Talk)} 14:41, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It needs to be cleaned up, but I don't see how this is any different from Comparison of portable media players. I do think it should be trimmed to non-redlinked articles and updated as more articles are created. Paul^C/_T+ 22:47, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOT#INFO. It differs from Comparison of portable media players by just being a big list full of redlinks; at least Comparison of portable media players does more than just enumerate portable media players. Guy Harris 23:43, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, I don't see a problem with this list; it's an organized collection of smartphones by company/type. Having redlinks is not a reason to delete. Certain users having an agenda to not include the iPhone (which i believe should be included) is in no way a reason to delete either. --musicpvm 04:40, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I see no compelling reason to keep this when there is a perfectly good category (Category:Smartphones). See WP:NOT#INFO. Ccscott 19:41, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There are lists of all kinds of technology devices. A list like this is interesting and informational. Althepal 19:58, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Reading the Wikipedia article on smartphones, it appears that the term is still in-development throughout the phone industry. Even the linked resource for the definition uses the phrase "a smartphone's features may include"... The word "may" shouldn't be there. The characteristics should be chizzled in stone. As a result, almost any advanced phone can be added to this list with the proper argument in-place. Sorry, these lists shouldn't have to work like that. Groink 03:55, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
