[edit] Sony DSC-S600

I kind of have second thoughts about this article that I created - it may have been a mistake to create an article on just one individual digital camera. My real reason for creation is to avoid the red link on metadata entries on Image namespace pages. --How dare you? 14:39, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete. As the only author, just request its deletion by putting {{db-author}} at the top. Fan-1967 14:43, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment - Well I dunno whether or not its a worthy article - I know I'm the only author but there still might be worth to it. --How dare you? 14:58, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm inclined to say delete it. I don't think we want to become a catalog of individual model numbers. Fan-1967 15:13, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

I should point out that in any case, it technically wouldn't be a speedy candidate anyway; the G7 'author requests deletion' criteria is only supposed to apply for accidentally-created pages. In practice I suspect deleting admins tend not to not press the point when the only person involved in a recently-created page wants it deleted, though. --Aquillion 23:19, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

• I'm inclined to say keep IF (and only if) you are willing to put the time and effort into expanding it. A quick google search brings up lots of information that could be incorporated into an article. Get the basic information, the 5ws and h, (Why did Sony make this camera, what's different about it then other cameras, etc.), get a picture of the camera, and it could become a decent article. As for Wikipedia becoming a "catalog of individual model numbers", it's already a catalog of almost every videogame ever made for a consul (though it seems to draw the line at internet-only-flash games), so why not for cameras too? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ONUnicorn (talk • contribs).

• I actually do have a pic of the camera - this is the camera I own - but it didn't come out well. And heck, I can't use this camera for a pic of it for obvious reasons. --How dare you? 22:21, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

• Could you place it in front of a mirror and use the timer to avoid having yourself in the photo, or would that just not work out properly? --Aquillion 02:13, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per the other 93 entries in Category:Camera Stubs, plus countless other complete articles in and under Category:Cameras by brand. Possibly, an alternative would be to merge all the cameras in Category:Sony CyberShot cameras into the single article at Cyber-shot; I don't know enough about the cameras to say if they're different enough to warrant their own articles. In any case, someone probably needs to step back and decide the level of granularity we want our camera articles to operate on... --Aquillion 20:50, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
  • As someone who's worked on a lot of Wikipedia's camera articles - certainly many camera types are quite enough to fill a whole article, and in fact there's a featured camera model article (Canon T90). Some groups of similar cameras may warrant treating in only a single article, if there is little difference between them, others don't. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 07:44, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Cyber-shot, or keep if the article's expanded. --Bigtop 21:00, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - decent enough article topic. Vizjim 22:13, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Notable enough....but good luck finding help to expand it. I found out there's a Wikipedia:WikiProject Digital cameras, but its two members are inactive. If it's any help, there is a Template:Infobox Digicam which could be used to standardize the article a bit. If worse comes to worst, you can merge all of the text into Cyber-shot, which isn't really all that bad of an idea anyway. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 22:23, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Cyber-shot as per several other cybershot cameras, such as the DSC-T5, DSC-T7 and DSC-T9, the article can be re-added at a latr date if someone wishes to expand it greatly. --dogbomb 08:43, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per above. --badlydrawnjeff talk 10:58, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect — As noted above, it can be un-redirected later if there's a real need. — RevRagnarok ^{Talk Contrib} 02:07, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - notable enough topic, and there should be enough data to produce a decent stub at least. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 07:42, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
