List of devices supported by CyanogenMod

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Completely un-referenced list of un-encyclopedic information. If this list were referenced, the references would likely come from the CyanogenMod project, and all be on their website. That's the more appropriate place for this list, where it can be maintained and kept completely current. A list of compatible devices for any software product doesn't belong on Wikipedia. The list can be distilled to "CyanogenMod is compatible with devices from vendors", given a link to this information back at the project website, and updated every once in a while.

 * Delete as I'm not seeing much of a need for a separate article. SwisterTwister   talk  06:19, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep It is a shame that there are people that want useful information removed from Wikipedia. I do not know how do you expect for people to want to support Wikipedia. The original article is already too big and Wikipedia suggests making a separate article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.44.115.94 (talk) 09:34, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Well, first of all, it's not unreferenced. As the template right under the afd notice says, there are refs but it primarily uses a list instead of in-line citations. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page, you see it right there. As the list history shows, these were formatted as a list of refs in advance of this deletion discussion.
 * As you suggested, the entirely of the refs are from the Cyanogen official site. Logically this would be the only reliable source for this info. This usage of a primary source to provide support for statements of fact would be acceptable and in line with WP:PRIMARYSOURCES. Indeed, even entries in WP:FL (e.g. List of Nintendo 64 games and List of WWE Intercontinental Champions) use official, first party sources as their main line of info.
 * I had previously removed the notability template because a list of supported devices is necessary information. This point stands. This is not merely a catalog of items. One of defining characteristics of Cyanogenmod is the multitude of devices it supports across versions, so a list of supported devices is essential information. --Jtalledo (talk) 19:15, 5 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete per reasons outlined by the nominator and WP:NOTCATALOG. This list is basically a hard-to-maintain mirror of download.cyanogenmod.org without the direct download links. --Dodi 8238 (talk) 19:37, 5 October 2015 (UTC) [edited 19:55, 5 October 2015 (UTC)]
