List of laptop brands and manufacturers

There is no logic to this list. Why should we have a list of laptops in the encyclopaedia in any event. — &#124; Gareth Griffith-Jones &#124; The Welsh Buzzard&#124; — 17:29, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep: It's sourced, to an extent, and the inclusion criterion in the general sense is obvious, though I wouldn't mind seeing something specific, in a typical list-article lead section. The title should be narrowed (probably to "List of laptop manufacturers"). I don't understand the nominator's kinda WP:IDONTLIKEIT nomination. There clearly logic to the list; it's organized, and fairly well developed, though could be improved. Why would we  have a such a list? It's not a "list of laptops" (i.e. of laptop models), though we could have those, too (maybe we already do have some, by manufacturer?).  I don't really see a deletion rationale here.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  18:52, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep – Qualifies for an article as per WP:NOTDUP relative to Category:Laptops, and also per WP:LISTPURP as a functional navigational aid. Also, the article appears to be the only "list of laptops" article on Wikipedia. Some copy editing can further improve the article. North America1000 12:11, 13 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep – We can't have a list of laptops. I think we can just about keep a list of laptop brands. Andy Dingley (talk) 12:12, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
