List of Nokia products

Merge. Wikipedia is not a product catalog. Especially so when this list suggests that there should be a seperate article for each model and product. -- Egil 10:08, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete as an article about a for-profit company. — JIP | Talk 10:11, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I hestitate to point out the other kinds of article we'd have to delete if we can't have anything about for-profit companies. Kappa 10:53, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep, this is far too big to merge with anything. Kappa 10:53, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: There is of course no problem describing commercial companies, by all means. My biggest problems are, in order of priroity:

This list is made with a Wikilink for every product, which seems to imply there should be separate articles for each product Nokia ever made. This is absurd.
The list seems to intend to list every product Nokia ever made. I doubt this is of intertest for an encyclopedia.

For me #1, is totally unacceptable, so under these circumstances, delete. But if people are prepared to keep the information up to date and reliable, and argue this is of interest, then perhaps the article can be kept. But at the very least, all wikilinks to articles for each product should be removed, and any existing content in those article that may exist should be merged and replaced by a redirect. --- Egil 12:26, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete, advertising. --Angr/_comhrá 12:24, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- How is this advertising? Andros 1337 12:38, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Ultra strong keep - Not advertising, similar lists already exist on Wikipedia. Andros 1337 12:38, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. --Allen3 ^talk 14:34, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
Have your cake and eat it, too. Keep the list, but redirect all of the red links therein to a single generic page on Nokia products. -- 8^D ^gab 15:15, 2005 Apr 6 (UTC)
Keep, but an article on every one of the products would be pushing things. - SimonP 18:45, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
Keep Notable products. Klonimus 02:16, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep but de-redlink. Information on the individual products (if any) should be put in this list to make it a better list. Radiant _* 08:41, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
Keep. And an article on every Nokia product would be a wonderful achievement.--Gene_poole 06:12, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. an article about every mobile by every manufactuer would be really pushing it, but Nokia is an exception. JuntungWu 09:19, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. I think it's a good and informative list btw do they still make toilet paper? -- Lochaber 13:04, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. It is information on products. Needs to be kept.
Keep. I do not even understand why this should be deleted. Jpk 09:27, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Interesting project, though the links seem a bit much. Musser 23:36, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. --Btw 15:14, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. --Jannex 15:44, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)
Keep Perhaps not all of these phones individually are noteable enough for their own articles, but the list has some interesting information in it. --boffy_b 01:16, 2005 Apr 24 (UTC)
