Talk:Telus Home Phone

Contested deletion: notable service, first of Telus' services.
This page should not be speedy deleted because it is a notable service in Alberta, British Columbia and Québec and in fact the first service provided by Telus. Mobility and TV have their separate pages, so Home Phone should too. Yes, this must grow beyond a stub, but i've heavily contributed to the Telus Mobility (creating it), Koodo Mobile and Mike articles. Likewise, i will develop the Telus Home Phone article. --TELUS freak again (talk) 03:15, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Hello "TELUS freak again". Have you read our username guidelines; in particular WP:CORPNAME? — Fly by Night  ( talk )  03:22, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
 * An explanation of my username can be found on my talk page. Furthermore, it is a play on the expression "Jesus freak", but simply exists as an alias and does not represent a religious attachment between me and the Telus company.  No such attachment exists.  The "again" part of it emphasizes that it is not to be mistaken as a corporate account.  There are non-Telus-related articles that i edit such as Wind Mobile, Rogers Telecom and Solo Mobile without bias.  So please let me know what should be done about the Home Phone article.  It could be a starting point to describe services such as the home phone, dial-up and DSL Internet, and Clearnet.  --TELUS freak again (talk) 03:50, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
 * It didn't&hellip; until you created an article about TELUS home phone; like WP:CORPNAME says. Had you not created an article about TELUS home phones then we might have put your username TELUS down to a coincidence. But as it stands, it's a clear breach of username policy. — Fly by Night  ( talk )  03:58, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Similar to Rogers Telecom
Another reason why the article shouldn't be deleted is because i brought significant changes to Rogers Telecom, a similar article, and created a not-yet-published draft for Sprint Canada. There is no bias in my edits. These companies, along with Telus Home Phone, provide notable residential services. --TELUS freak again (talk) 03:50, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Firstly, you've only made 68 edits . Secondly "TELUS freak again" has never edited the article Rogers Telecom, as can be seen from, it's edit history . Which username did you use to edit that article? — Fly by Night  ( talk )  04:48, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
 * LABcrabs was my previous username for telecom-related articles, but to create a telecom watchlist, i use this account. Does anyone know if Telus had a "Bring Telus Home" campaign, similar to "Bring Bell Home"?  --TELUS freak again (talk) 22:04, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Proposed Merge
I agree with the posting that this article should be merged to the TELUS article. Karl 334  ☞ TALK to ME ☜  05:12, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Maybe so, because Bell Canada doesn't have a Home Phone article, but Rogers Telecom does. But isn't the Home Phone the foundation for most if not all other services, including DSL, TV and Optik?  Let me add that to the article.  --TELUS freak again (talk) 14:40, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Rationale for whether this article stands on it's own should not be based on whether or not other companies have articles for their home phone service. The facts are that there are no significant secondary sources to establish independent notability of Telus Home Phone seperate from Telus.  As the editor who proposed the merge, I support the merge.--v/r - TP 16:05, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Rogers Telecom has a home phone article for the same reason TELUS Tv has an article. Its a service that is apart from their regular service. Rogers was always a cable television provider and is talked about it in their main article. TELUS is a telephone provider and should be talked about in their main article. Karl 334  ☞ TALK to ME ☜  16:26, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Also keep in mind that those articles listed contain reliable sources.--v/r - TP 18:32, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Telus Pay Phone
i could get a picture of a Telus Pay Phone. Should it be placed on this page, or is it better to place it on the Telus article? --TELUS freak again (talk) 15:04, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Bundled with Clearnet
The Telus Home Phone service is included in Clearnet bundles, which also include HSPA+ mobile phone service. This is an existing mixture of both ancient and modern technologies. i have talked to a Telus store representative and these should be coming to Ontario by the fall of 2011. So this is another reason why Telus Home Phone should have its own, separate service. --TELUS freak again (talk) 21:57, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
 * As I have explained, you have not found any multiple independant reliable sources that demonstrate the notability of the Home Phone service individually. and separate from Telus or Clearnet. Whether it exists as a separate service, the store employee says so, or what any other primary source, until you have secondary sources then you have not demonstrated a reason to keep this article supported by policy.--v/r - TP 23:32, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
