Dell monitors

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Largely unreferenced, and most of the references provided are primary sources from Dell's support site. It's probably not hard to find capsule reviews for these products, but they're largely not notable. Also, WP:NOTCATALOG; the list is just a summary of features and specifications with no establishment of notability for individual items. Mikeblas (talk) 04:51, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete. While Dell monitors are undoubtedly notable, this runs into multiple WP:NOT problems. It's a brochure-style advertisement (NOTADVERT). And this is a true violation of NOTDIRECTORY. I don't see a path to an article without TNT. &mdash;siro&chi;o 08:05, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTCATALOGUE and there is nothing that indicates this particular brand of computer equipment is notable in its own right. Ajf773 (talk) 10:03, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete, agree with TNT arguments under WP:NOTCATALOGUE. This article also doesn't serve a navigational purpose, since the monitors it lists don't have individual articles. DFlhb (talk) 10:31, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
 * DFlhb, listed items are not required to have articles nor are they required to meet the same notability requirements as standalone articles. See WP:NLIST (Notability) and WP:SELCRIT (Stand-alone lists). The listed items just have to be verifiable by reliable sources as qualifying for the list.
 * I find list articles great alternative to lots of individual articles. Dell comes out with a new monitor, the Dell Acme 3240, so you add it to the list (with a citations to a reliable sources). Someone wants to add a marginally acceptable article about the particular monitor - you just redirect it to the list.

 * Naturally they're not required to have articles. I was addressing the non-notability, non-WP:NOT reason to keep: WP:SAL: Lists that fulfill recognized informational, navigation, or development purposes often are kept regardless of any demonstrated notability and WP:N: these requirements [...] do not, however, apply to pages whose primary purpose is navigation (e.g. all disambiguation pages and some lists). "Product catalogue"-type articles that just contain notable entries are typically safe from deletion for those reasons, but that's not the case here. DFlhb (talk) 02:06, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
