Mobiles shipped with malware

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Author removed a PROD tag, but the core concerns remain. At best, this is listcruft that should be renamed to "List of mobile phones shipped with malware." But there is no particular need for that list: it is constantly changing and while individual incidents might be notable (and maybe there's even notability in the general concept of mobile phones shipping with malware), an orphaned list of them seems unlikely to stay current or add significant value. The article at mobile malware does a better job on this subject and I do not recommend a merge for the same reasons above (too hard to keep up to date and no value in it), and a redirect seems needless given that it's orphaned. 49ersBelongInSanFrancisco (talk) 08:05, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. Not an encyclopedic article and does not appear to pass WP:LISTN. Reads more like a guide. Ajf773 (talk) 18:04, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
