LG Chocolate (U830)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable commercial product. This phone doesn't have enough substantial resources to reference a sustainable, meaningful Wikipedia article. There are many capsule reviews and press release postings, but no substantial or useful papers or articles about the product. Listing after removed Prod. Wikipedia is not a Lucky Goldstar catalog.

 * Keep. I remember this product from Telus billboard ads that were plastered all over Canada. So, to a Canadian, no further notability assertion is necessary. --Blanchardb- Me  MyEarsMyMouth-timed 15:51, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Adverts may make a product notable in Canada, but certainly not on Wikipedia. See WP:CORP. --B. Wolterding 16:22, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, how about 400,000 ghits, most of the top ones being independent reviews? --Blanchardb- Me  MyEarsMyMouth-timed 16:35, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Similarly, Google hits don't confer notability. See WP:GHITS. -- Mikeblas (talk) 07:46, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a noteable product. The article is quite wretched at the moment but can easily be improved and expanded. There is no lack of good secondary material on the Chocolate, per Blanchardb. However, I'd suggest dumping the existing Criticism section due to a lack of proper references. Majoreditor 04:59, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as above but remove the unsourced criticisms immediately. RFerreira 08:34, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Question. What about the rest of the unsourced material? Then, what's left? -- Mikeblas 08:48, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per RFerreira -- ZeWrestler  Talk 17:51, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. It's beyond the scope of this AfD, but I really think it makes more sense to merge the five articles about the Chocolate models into a single article.  I hope that someone, perhaps the original nominator, can consider reproposing the deletion with that in mind.  --Nlu (talk) 23:26, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge - all 5 articles about LG Chocolate would be better served as a single article --EJF 19:25, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - I think there should be a total review of this cell-phone issue. I hope I don't offend anyone by saying so, but I have started to dislike what seems to be a salami-tactic used to delete all the cell-phones. Also, it is my conviction Wikipedia should - in general- have an article of all cell-phones with notable sources, so people comming and looking for information, will find it here.
