CZ-550

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Moving for discussion on article deletion. The article does not sufficiently establish notability of the product to have its own article. Merge is a possibility Nja 247 (talk • contribs) 16:38, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Question: Why is this rifle less notable than the ones it links to? - Mgm|(talk) 19:40, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Question: You said it would be mergeable. To what article? - Mgm|(talk) 19:40, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I meant to say that I don't see why it could not be merged onto the manufacturer's article Česká Zbrojovka being that they're both stubs. I admit that I may have been a bit too hasty recommending this for deletion, though I contend merging is still an option. Nja 247 (talk • contribs) 20:09, 20 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment: Are there specific notability standards for weaponry? I can understand that presence culturally can give certain small arms (IE M-16, AK-47, Desert Eagle .50AE) more notability than others, but do independent reviews exist for this firearm? Is that enough?  I'm sure most guns have some non-promotional material on them, but I'm just not sure how much could be enough.  It's undoubtable the gun exists, but where is the notability threshold?  69.210.56.62 (talk) 21:43, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: After looking around, (this is my first article) I would argue that since the CZ-550 is its own design, not a blown out version of another rifle action, it merits its own page. After looking through several other manufactures pages, I do not see rifles and other arms listed, instead they each get there own page. It is possible that if could be listed under big-bore CZ rifles, but this would be inconsistent with how other rifles of other manufacture are described.--JKBodylski (talk) 02:36, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: Ive taken the time to add some sources and external links to this page. It appears that there is an abundance of articles written about the CZ 550 when searching on google, including many reviews and forums. Still not quite sure what constitutes noteworthy though. --JKBodylski (talk) 11:05, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: Alright, my understanding of products getting there own page as defined WP:CORP page is that if a company's product list is too large as to make the main page about the company unwieldy, then the products get there own page. A quick look at Česká Zbrojovka Uherský Brod page shows in excess of 60 separate model lines, which would make the CZ page enormously cumbersome.--JKBodylski (talk) 08:49, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
