[edit] Dyson DC15

Reason why the page should be deleted Sturgeonslawyer 19:10, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm recommending this and several related articles for deletion as they seem to me to be advertisements for the products of the Dyson company. Prior to making this recommendation, I searched for articles about similar products, such as Hoover and Electrolux vacuum cleaners, to see if these articles were in line with Wiki community standards. They do not seem to be.

I stumbled upon this article by accident, playing with the "random article" button. The full list of articles I intend to recommend for deletion include the articles on the Dyson DC01, Dyson DC02, Dyson DC14, Dyson DC15, and Dyson G Force. If you believe these articles have valid content, please consider moving them to the Dyson (appliances) article, which will bring matters more in line with similar companies's products.

  • Merge into a List of Dyson appliances article, with no prejudice towards splitting things off if they ever get big. --Rory096(block) 19:22, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Why not just a "Products" section in the Dyson (appliances) article? I don't see enough non-advertising-like content on all five articles combined to warrant a full article on its own. Sturgeon's Lawyer

  • KEEP. This is the FIRST of a product type. Would we delete a page on the model T? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tolliver.4 (talk • contribs) .
  • Keep. Some of these products have been "reproduced" by other manufacturers and a reference to the original model that was duplicated is important. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 61.69.235.51 (talk • contribs) .
  • Does anybody care to bet that those last two comments were not added by employees/officers of Dyson? Let's be clear: this is not a product with the historic value of the Model T.

But assuming for the sake of argument that it was, would the unsigned persons who made those comments object if we removed the other Dyson product articles--Sturgeonslawyer 23:37, 22 April 2006 (UTC)?Sturgeon's Lawyer

  • Merge and redirect all five to Dyson (appliances). If in future there's enough information to warrant a separate list of appliances or even pages for each appliance do it then, but there isn't that much content yet. --Pak21 11:35, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
