Nokia 6086
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article remains an ad-like summary of a commercial product. Wikipedia is not a marketing tool, nor is it a cell phone guide or a Nokia catalog. Insufficient substantial third-party references exist to make this a useful article; at least, one that's not itself an advert or a review. The previous AfD resulted in "keep" because many users insisted there was no problem securing references for this product, and that it was notable. After five months, the article remains an uncited stub that reads like an advertisement. Mikeblas (talk) 13:57, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Lacks reliable and independent sources to show that this particular model of phone is notable enough for an encyclopedia article. Capsule reviews in websites are not adequate sources even if they were cited. I see no point in creating a stub article about every product currently offered for sale by Nokia, or every model of product ever offered for sale by every major company in the world, if it is a mere listing of features. Wikipedia is not a catalog. Edison (talk) 14:14, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into Nokia 6000 series. Perhaps the specific model is not notable enough for an article, but I think the series may be. --Itub (talk) 08:45, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to series. Non-notable alone, but series is ok.Yobmod (talk) 15:29, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
