Onkyo
This was nominated for speedy deletion as "Commercial list of external links." I've noticed that things like this do get speedy deleted ( Velux, the Carbon Trust), but I caught this one in time to give it a chance. Kappa 14:37, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Very well. Speedy deletion #4 and/or #9. Radiant! 14:58, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep stub on major electronics company. (I removed some POV from the text.) / Uppland 19:00, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Look ok in current incarnation, but more evidence of its importance would be nice, since Wikipedia isn't a business directory. Isomorphic 19:04, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Looking at the links to Onkyo, there seems to be a musical style or movement in Japan by the same name. The corporation is most likely better known in the rest of the world and presumably deserves the main place, but there should perhaps be an Onkyo (disambiguation). Maybe somebody here knows something about contemporary Japanese music? / Uppland 14:18, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I would guess the movement is named after the instruments, so they'd probably belong on the same page unless there was a lot about them. (My vote is 'keep btw). Kappa 01:11, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Nothing wrong with an article on a company. Japanese WP says Onkyo is #1 in car audio speakers. Let the article grow into something. BTW onky&#333; (&#38899;&#38911;) means "acoustics" (e.g. the acoustics of a hall) or "sound" in Japanese. onky&#333;gaku (&#38899;&#38911;&#23398;) means "the study of acoustics."

 * Keep. -- pne 15:26, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Bring up to standard Articles on companies, like recipes, need some social context. --Wetman 10:04, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong keep and expand. In fact, this is a textbook example of what a good substub should be.  There's history, past and present notability and even name etymology in one neat package!  Kind of like Japanese electronics themselves.  :^P - Lucky 6.9 01:22, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
