[edit] Motorola RAZR V3

Not noteworthy, the information is outdated. This is just another mobile phone.. Helzagood 22:10, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

This was tagged for AFD but not properly listed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Adding now so that it may be officially closed by an admin. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 01:53, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

• But if it becomes so popular that it becomes a part of American culture, it may be worthy after all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gordeonbleu (talk • contribs) 00:26, 30 January 2006
• Keep or speedy keep. Google Results 1 - 10 of about 10,400,000 for "Motorola RAZR V3". (0.35 seconds). Can't sleep, clown will eat me 01:50, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep If Wikipedia articles on major mobile phone models are valid (and I see no reason why we should treat mobile phones as any different from, say, Motorcycles), then this is an obvious keep. SP-KP 02:04, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Moderately informative. I've removed a little of the useless info.--ragesoss 02:33, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per above.Youngamerican 02:33, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
• Very obvious keep, popular and potentially iconic phone. Deiz 02:37, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, per above. China is just another country; we don't delete that either. Ikkyu2 05:15, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. The user here was engaged in a pretty hotly debated VfD over a vanity article. This seems to be spiteful backlash not serious criticism. Fightindaman 07:04, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, per Deiz's comment. Royboycrashfan 07:22, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
• If you look at the List of Motorola products, it seems clear that the very limited descrption of each could fit next to the listing (as is done for several on that page). Others have been carried into their own separate article, but it is not clear (to me at least) why some have embedded descriptions while others warrant separate entries. Frankly, I would suggest merging this to the product list page. But since the standard is unclear, it could certainly be kept as well. Eusebeus 07:53, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, informative article. I would support merging it to a general (non-list) "motorola mobile phone products" article, once that exists. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-01-30 13:31Z

• Keep, borderline speedy. Pardon the hyperbole, but this is probably the most notable cell phone of the past five years, if not ever. I am not a shill, nor do I own a RAZR. -- Plutor 17:06, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep There is clearly too much information on this phone to merge into a single article with other handsets. 81.153.150.88 17:25, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
• comment, I think this should be merged, since, a few months from now, nobody will care about this phone. This phone isn't even that popular, here in the UK. There is nothing truly special about this phone, there are now smaller, more sophisticated phones on the market. This is a mid-market fad phone. 81.77.158.140 17:57, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
• Merge Calling this phone iconic, or notable is a stretch. It's a mobile phone... it has not changed society at large in any way shape or form. It's not even particularly pervasive. H'd say a merge is probably the best bet for all mobile phone articles, per Eusebeus. There is some precedence for listing out individual articles on items that have a fan base so to speak; motorcycles or locomotives for example. I'm not aware of any cell phone enthusiest communites out there, but if anyone can produce evidence of such a community, I might be persuaded to change my vote.--Isotope23 20:28, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

• Why merge? Check out Wiki is not paper. A device that millions of people around the world own and find integral to their daily lives (or did, looking ahead) can be given it's own page. Nobody is asking you to write it. However, if you want to hold to this position then go and merge all the variants of poker (again, Wiki is not paper) into one page to show you're serious then go nuts with Motorola... Deiz 23:30, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, at least as notable as anything in Category:Breakfast cereals. --136.182.2.221 23:28, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, I have a feeling that as the popularity of this phone increases (it is now the most popular mobile phone in North America), the relevance of keeping this page can only increase as well. It may not be revolutionary or society-changing, but thousands of people use it daily, and that alone warrants its addition. User:Klestrob44
• Keep, very popular phone model worldwide. This is one of the most popular phone models of the 21st century. Why delete or merge it? --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 04:59, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep This phone is getting quite popular now. I think it deserves a section. Buchanan-Hermit™..CONTRIBS..SPEAK! 10:24, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep for now - at least while the phone is still on the market. Then delete... Aron.
• Strong keep This phone is one of the most popular in the world, has set numerous sales records and defined the new thin-phone market segment. --Apyule 09:50, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
