[edit] Canon EOS 30V

Canon EOS 30V (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Non-notable commercial product. Completely unreferenced, no clear claim to notability other than being a product of a notable company. Wikipedia is not a digital camera guide. Wikipedia is not a Canon catalog. Mikeblas (talk) 15:52, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Merge Merge the more distinctive features to a tabular form in the Canon EOS article, as was done for Sony Cyber-shot cameras to Cyber-shot. Wikipedia is not a product catalog, and the existence of a pro-forma review of a new product based on the manufacturer's press release does not prove that the product needs to be represented forever in encyclopedia articles. Notability on Wikipedia is permanent, so any product from any decade by any well known company would be equally entitled to an article, and Wikipedia would be hard to distinguish from an old Sears Roebuck catalog . There are several other poorly referenced stub articles about various Canon EOS cameras. One list would be appropriate, useful, and helpful. The other Canon EOS cameras should be group-nominated for this merger in a supplementary AFD. Otherwise Wikipedia will be cluttered with these articles as well as, presumably articles for the red-link models in the Canon EOS article. Edison (talk) 17:26, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge per Edison and Sony precedent. WP is not a product catalog and very few cameras have any long-term notability. Travellingcari (talk) 18:12, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
