[edit] IPod touch

IPod touch (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This product is non-notable, doesn't exist per WP:CRYSTAL and should be at least merged with the regular iPod article. Theklavern 18:26, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. Why has this article been nominated for deletion? The product has just been announced! Max Naylor 18:23, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. No rationale or reason for deletion. We have articles for all other iPod models why should this be different. JohnnyBGood t c VIVA! 18:25, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. What's your reason for deletion? You haven't given one! Mahanga^Talk 18:26, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Does exist, was just announced an hour ago. Peter S. 18:27, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
• Can this just be speedy kept? This is this user's first post and he obviously hasn't read the news. JohnnyBGood t c VIVA!

No. Theklavern 18:29, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Wasn't asking you. JohnnyBGood t c VIVA! 18:29, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

The product has not been released and it doesn't deserve its own article. Theklavern 18:31, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Check the website: [1]. Max Naylor 18:34, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

I agree, it should be speedy kept. This is ridiculous. Nothing in WP:Crystal says this should be deleted. Mahanga^Talk 18:32, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Seriously. It is out, you can buy it right now. Plus we have a precedent of new iPods getting articles to consider. JohnnyBGood t c VIVA! 18:33, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete It's far to early to have an article for it when it was announced less than two hours ago. Fishmech 18:28, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

“Too early”? The product goes on sale this evening. Max Naylor 18:30, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

We have articles minutes/hours after a major current event all the time. Mahanga^Talk 18:32, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep Product goes on sale this weekend, add a "future product" template to it

For the record, Theklavern is a new user with his only posts belonging to this AFD. Mahanga^Talk 18:34, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

• Keep It most certainly does exist, there was an announcement today by Apple/Steve Jobs. ArsTechnica coverage -- MacAddct1984 18:36, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy keep No crystal balling at all since product has been announced and released. Wl219 18:36, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. It's a new product in the iPod line, similar to the iPod nano or iPod shuffle. I don't see why it'd be wrong to start an article now... they've announced it. It exists. Pele Merengue 18:43, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
• Comment:Can we just close the discussion now? The majority of votes say keep, and this is a real and verifiable product. There’s nothing left to argue here. Max Naylor 18:40, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
• Yeah, speedy keep. This has obviously been a misunderstanding on Theklavern's part (at the very least). --The Wild Falcon 18:46, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
• Strongest Keep This product has been official announced by Apple. The nominator did not decide to do his homework. Very bad move. --SkyWalker 18:47, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. How is this non-notable? It's a major, major, major change to the highest selling portable electronic device on the planet. And how is it crystal balling if the product is being released today? Smashville 18:52, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
• Yes, please close the discussion and remove the AFD template. Mahanga^Talk 19:02, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
