Renting digital cameras

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unremarkable rental topic. BJ Talk 20:02, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Not so much because it's unremarkable but because it's original research, mostly unreliably sourced with blogs, and very, very spammy. (And by the way, isn't this kind of rental already covered under leasing? If so, then make it delete and redirect.)   SIS   21:42, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Maybe it's not spam, but it's not much more noteworthy than the practice of renting out a videocamera. Mandsford (talk) 00:02, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not a notable topic. Not a suitable subject for an encyclopedia. Bongomatic (talk) 00:37, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as a how-to guide. Alexius08 (talk) 04:32, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - You can rent almost anything and we don't need a topic on every single one (renting lawnmowers, renting carpet cleaners, renting dvd players anyone?). Even Movie rental is a redirect and that is a notable, widespread (even cultural) practice.  Renting sufficiently explains the practice and is applicable to anything rentable. Unencyclopedic.

 * Delete for all the reasons above, plus another one: that for the part of the world where I happen to live, what it says is plain wrong. (For anyone who happens to be interested: Where I am, digital cameras are rented out just as film cameras were [and are], and lenses, and the rest: over the counter, and primarily to professionals and others whose regular equipment is being fixed or who want to experiment before buying or who need particular exotica [e.g. an ultrawide lens] for a particular shoot.) I've no reason to presume that third, fourth or further countries resemble either the pattern I know or that described in the article; so the article is not only incomplete but also unfixable. -- Hoary (talk) 08:47, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
