The result was Delete all, individual notability has not been established, if sources to establish notability are available an article on all Aspire computers would be the best way to go. Davewild (talk) 10:11, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Aspire 2420 Series

I am also nominating the following related pages because they are in a similar vein:

Wikipedia isn't a directory nor list for every product ever produced by a company. nneonneo ^talk 02:55, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

User:AndyCook/Acer_Models Wiki already had a few random acer pages, for example Acer_TravelMate_2420, of products randomly strung about wikipedia...I created a table and have attepted to start a few pages to fill the gaps, but maybe i should just give up, I've already put a large amount of time into creating what i already have, and im not going to continue until someone else agrees with my reasoning. --AndyCook_{Powered By} 03:00, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

I also didn't notice that this was the first entry on the list, this product appears on acers site, but not in its pdf thats why its not filled out like the other 10 or so pages... --AndyCook_{Powered By} 03:01, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Discussion is ongoing to merge Acer TravelMate 2420 with the main TravelMate article, which will likely happen. By the way, external links in signatures are highly discouraged; see WP:SIG. nneonneo ^talk 03:04, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

So basically your saying that i should give up now? --AndyCook (talk) 03:09, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Delete all. Empty specs, the articles don't even explain what is being discussed, and the template is in User space. Corvus cornix_talk 03:09, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Might as well can the operation, suggestions for user space page deletion? --AndyCook (talk) 03:26, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Delete all. Yikes. These pages are simply tables without context and, to a large extent, without content. (Remember, AndyCook, a Wikipedia article should tell its reader what it's about so clearly that even someone who's never heard of the subject would have at least a basic idea of what it is.) Even if the pages were cleaned up (so as to be legible), I don't think these laptops really meet our notability guidelines. Anturiaethwr 03:23, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

ya i understand, general consensus says, merge abstract pages into the main topic? --AndyCook (talk) 03:26, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Comment Laptops will usually meet notability requirements easily by virtue of the many reviews that they attract. The author should start with such reviews as a source and build the article(s) upon them. If the Aspire range has many common features then a single article might be best.

Delete all Wikipedia isn't a product directory. If the laptops are sufficiently notable, an article about Aspire computers can be written. (Maybe one exists already...) --Craw-daddy | T | 13:32, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- Comment: yes, there is such an article: Acer Aspire. nneonneo ^talk 00:44, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
