Nokia 6260

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

These products don't meet WP:PRODUCT. The article is a list of specifications which are completely un-cited, and reads like an advertisement or marketing brochure. The article is unlikely to be repaired as substantial references don't exist for such products.

Expired prod removed by User:NawlinWiki with the comment "decline prod, all the other Nokia phones seem to have articles; take to afd instead". This isj ust OTHERSTUFF, and acknolwedges the "Wikipedia is not a catalog" problem. Several other Nokia phone model articles have been deleted, and NawlinWiki doesn't explain why this one is immune.

 * Delete - No significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. See WP:N. Subdolous 14:44, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Prod should have been left through - NawlinWiki's argument was essentially WP:WAX. Stifle (talk) 17:00, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - The philosophy of wikipedia is to edit and improve articles over time. Improving a sub-standard article is far better than deleting it. This product meets WP:NOTE because it was the first ever Nokia clamshell phone. There certainly is a substantial reference for this product — Nokia's own website . - Neparis 21:33, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Obvious keep. This is a popular product that has sold hundreds of thousands to millions.  A huge number of sources and google hits, almost 500 articles - see .  The information presented is useful and encyclopedic.  Calling it PR or advertising is absurd.  Has anyone ever seen a magazine ad that looks like this article?  It's simply a description of the product.  Taking a step back, the subject is clearly encyclopedic, and taking pot shots at specific listings within a well-covered field would have a disruptive effect on the scope of the encyclopedia.  It turns our coverage into swiss cheese.  Wikidemo 22:07, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
