List of products manufactured by ASUS

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Uncited list of non-notable products. WP is not an arbitrary collection of information, and WP is not a directory. Mikeblas 15:42, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. This list of info is a little spammy. --Evb-wiki 16:53, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with nom that this list is simply an indiscriminate list of infromation, unlike the above nominated Nokia list.Rwhealey 17:18, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep I assume one can find mention of each of these products within the links in the External links section. I don't think Wikipedia should be used for marketing, but I see no language in this article to indicate it's an advertisement. Deletion_policy/Brand_name_products says "Minor products from a company should be merged into a 'list of minor products from this company' which is kept in the company article, unless it becomes too large as above." Wikipedia has many lists of products. Is the nominator assuming that all lists on Wikipedia are directories? WP:N pertains to the suitability of article topics but does not directly limit the content of articles. While each product in the list may not be notable enough to merit it's own article, it would fit fine on a list. --Pixelface 04:39, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Pixelface. This is neither a directory nor indiscriminate collection of information. It is a list of products manufactured by a notable company. It could use some sourcing, but this shouldn't be a problem, as there are plenty of reliable sources to be found, for example, about their motherboards in newspapers and books.

 * Keep. Compliant with WP:LIST.  Provides information beyond a category; provides structure and navigation; clear inclusion criteria.  Deletion policy/Brand name products seems to indicate that consensus is that lists of products are acceptable.  If we want to change that (and maybe we should), start there, not by AfD'ing selected lists.  — DragonHawk (talk|hist) 14:32, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
