List of smartphones with HD Voice support

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I might be missing something, but this just looks like a list of phones that happen to share one feature in common. The vast majority of this is unsourced, but the main issue is why is this function notable to justify a stand-alone list?  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 13:35, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete pointless list. Wideband audio has been around for a decade so this may have been a novelty once but is now common place. --LaserLegs (talk) 23:16, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedia, Please do not delete this article. I do understand your points that a lot of phones do support HD voice now, which is a good thing, but I fail to understand how this is a problem. Is anyone personally being negatively affected by this article existing? Is anyone losing sleep at night over it? Does it take up a large amount of server space? This article is widely used as a point of reference on forums discussing this technology, and for answering technical support questions such as when someone asks if they can use a particular phone (such as if it’s an older model or a lesser known model from a different country) with a certain carrier that requires VoLTE. Where’s the harm in leaving this article alone? Isn’t that the point of Wikipedia, to be a point of reference of knowledge and information? I’ve personally spent a lot of time updating and tweaking this list over the years and it would be a shame for it all to be lost. Sincerely, Me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.105.110.251 (talk) 13:27, 26 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi. Please read WP:AADD. Can you give some policy-based rationales on why this list should exist? Thanks.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 14:28, 26 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:NOTCATALOGUE. Nothing overly encyclopedic about listing every single device with this technology. Ajf773 (talk) 23:54, 27 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Wideband audio and use as a tool to expand the coverage there, giving examples and dates. It's obviously necessary to avoid WP:OR in doing this but the information is already in the specific articles and if we just use dates that are sourced in these articles it should be possible.

 * Delete Most smartphones these days have such technology so it is not necessary for a list and offers no encyclopedic value. JayJayWhat did I do? 23:43, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Well, I am appalled at this selfish deletion. This is information I am looking for, which could have been very helpful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.33.185.122 (talk) 17:29, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
