[edit] Record-A-Call

Record-A-Call (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This product does not seem to meet notability requirements. Its claim to fame is that it was “one of the first answering machines available to the U.S. state of Washington”. This page has no incoming links and no external references. ●DanMS • Talk 03:46, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment Well, is this a reliable source which can be used in this article? --Siva1979Talk to me 04:01, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
    • Add it to the article! ●DanMS • Talk 04:08, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, no corroboration of notability via Google News Archive or Google Books. Historical topics have fewer online sources, yes, but "firsts" are often recorded somewhere. This is only one of the first and only in a limited geographical area. I hope Mr. Nosworthy made a profit, but he did not succeed in acquiring notability for himself or the service in the process. --Dhartung | Talk 06:11, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. There is a Nosworthy Telecommunications in Lynnwood, WA, but I get the feeling that he did not introduce the answering machine to the state of Washington. No sources to back up the claim as such. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 06:57, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - too obscure to be encyclopedic. Metamagician3000 12:20, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
