List of HSUPA networks

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This list is incomplete, there are A LOT OF missing sources and we will never be able to cover all networks worldwide (if only because of missing sources!). HSUPA has de-facto become a standard technology in deployed UMTS networks, which already have a seperate list. For this reason: Why should we maintain multiple lists for every "add-on-technology" to a common and widely adopted mobile standard?!? Instead we should focus on a few milestones (e.g. first launches, special networks and operators that were the first to launch new technologies. This should happen in the main article HSUPA. Lists only make sense if there is the possibility to have a complete coverage and people that are interested and able to maintain them an a regular basis. Doesn't seem to meet WP:NOTABILITY requirements. Nightwalker-87 (talk) 20:15, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete or merge after adding sources: Incompleteness is okay, per WP:NOTDIR. (We can only keep items that have Wikipedia article, should we choose to do so.) Lack of source is not okay. Content without source may be challenged or deleted. Even if it had sources, lists like List of HSDPA networks and List of HSUPA networks and such lists should be merged.

I think it would be even easier to merge both lists you mentioned above into List of UMTS networks by adding two seperate columns. This means two articles less without loss of information. All content without a source should be deleted after a set timeframe to give main editors the chance to improve the extended list and add sources. I suggest the timeframe to avoid keeping uncited content longterm. Nightwalker-87 (talk) 19:07, 7 August 2014 (UTC) 
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep The article needs additional sources, but it has some source to prove the information and notability. It is an incomplete article, but is notable. Frmorrison (talk) 13:45, 8 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep - No valid reason for deletion. If this list duplicates information in another list article merge or propose a merge. ~KvnG 03:26, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
