[edit] Ericsson R290

Ericsson R290 (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable product. WP is not an Ericsson catalog. This produict has few substantial third-party references. Mikeblas 19:10, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

• Strong keep — presuming this isn't an AfD for all Ericsson products, the model in question is one of the most notable of the lot, since it's a technical curiosity combining two different communications systems. The article has a technical reference; finding further third party references will probably be hard because (one imagines) retail sites won't maintain pages to products they no longer sell. We could come up with a bunch of anecdotes from aid workers and diplomats but where's the relevance? I'd be interested to see the kind of references which the proposer desires. (Could you perhaps point to the "ideal" product article, to help this one be improved?) Incidentally, the Ericsson R310 went through this process a while ago, and was kept because it too is a technical curio of note. – Kieran T ^(talk) 19:49, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete since Kieran T just attested to its lack of sources and lack of potential to ever get any. If there were a newpapaer article highlighting the importance of this product in humanitarian work then I'd say keep, but since that's not very likely, delete.

• Keep I do not understand why somewants wants to delete "all" the cell-phone entries. They are really examples of what this encyclopedia is about: we need them. This phone in particular is very notable, being a rare satelitte-phone in addition to a GSM-phone. The fact this is not very good sourced in the article is not an argument for deletion, but for improvement. -- Greswik (talk) 20:10, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
