[edit] Dell Inspiron XPS Gen 2

Delete--Dell's products are non-notable and will not be significant 100 years from now Fsdfs 22:59, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect all to Dell and protect against recreation.  BD2412 ^talk 23:43, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as Notable brand of computer. How do we determine whether something is or is not notable within 100 years: Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Capitalistroadster 00:04, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: Dell corporation itself is notable for its success. Only problem is Dell has never produced anything that was unique (that hadn't already existed). If Dell's products are worthy then everyone else's (Alienware, Gateway, HP Compaq, Lenovo, Toshiba, etc) products in the same category are worthy of note because of precedent set if it is kept.

• Redirect as per  BD2412 ^talk. Dlyons493 Talk 03:46, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect all to Dell. It's not that I think the model itself is non-notable; I just think it would make more sense to list all of the models together, in one place, for comparison's sake. --Jacquelyn Marie 04:16, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Dell's products are notable.--Nicodemus75 04:27, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to Dell XPS. I don't mind the basic product line but having every specific generation and model from that line is overkill. gren グレン 08:49, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Dell product lines. We have a ton of articles about Apple product lines, what's the difference? Rhobite 13:55, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as per previous nomination. CalJW 19:09, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge somewhere suitable. Pilatus 22:30, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, bad-faith nomination with an agenda. This user is promoting Alienware brand computers (Alienware Area 51[1] and created Alienware Bot), even nominating Area 51 for a page move request, while simultaneously nominating various Dell brand pages for deletion (this AfD and quite a number of others). -- Curps 19:37, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
