Sony Anycast

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

PROD contested (Courtesy respectively) but I do not see that the sources Kvng identified are sufficient enough, nor does my own BEFORE indicate other coverage that might work. I'm not sure whether there's a viable ATD as the products don't appear listed anywhere helpful to the reader, so bringing it here for discussion. Star  Mississippi  18:10, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

 * @Star Mississippi, what do you find insufficient about the sources I identified? ~Kvng (talk) 21:10, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi. My primary concerns are: this one appears to be a marketing and PR firm, no indication that it's a vetted reliable source/SM expert, Ozer has only a handful of reviews, although the magazine itself might be fine (this is the best of the three sources, personally), and this is a project/case study. As you said NPRODUCT is lesser requirements than NORG so this may ultimately be kept, but I do not think it is sufficiently notable Star   Mississippi  23:50, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Indeed. Kvng found three reviews, but what makes them reliable? Star Mississippi makes a valid claim above they are not. For now, I am weak delete, due to found sources (reviews) likely not being reliable, but ping me if argument for their reliability, or other, more reliable sources are presented, and I'll revisit my vote. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 07:33, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * The first is a review written by a freelancer published by a reputable trade magazine. A review by a staffer at a general interest publication would be more reliable but I don't think this should be thrown out. I don't understand what's iffy about a published report on a a project/case study. ~Kvng (talk) 13:50, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep - Significant coverage in multiple reliable sources ~Kvng (talk) 22:20, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - Let's be clear, the article as-written is pretty bad. But the product was significant and the topic is notable:
 * |A143763843&v=2.1&it=r&sid=ebsco Sony Anycast Station: A LEAN, WELL-BALANCED SWITCHER, BUT LITTLE PHAT, Studio Monthly, Vol 28 Issue 3, Kevin Kilbride - 1300 word review of the original launch of the product. "Despite being functionally flawless, the Anycast suffers from an attempt to do too many different things without focusing on doing any one of them particularly well."
 * Briefcase of wonders -- Sony Anycast delivers big results in small package, Government Video, June 1 2005, Chuck Gloman - 1300 word review of original product. Not the same text or author as above. " In the same footprint as a typewriter (remember those?), you have a remote production facility - a six channel video switcher, audio mixer, monitor, and more."
 * Sony AWS-G500 Anycast Station, Video Systems, Aug 2005, Tom Patrick McAuliffe - 2400 word review. ". Provided Sony follows through with its upgrade plans, the AWS-G500 will become the standard by which all other portable video production systems are measured"
 * |A365183703&v=2.1&it=r&sid=ebsco Sony Reinvents Switchers With the Anycast Touch, Government Video, Vol 25 Issue 3, Geoff Poister - 1400 word review of later model. Generally rather gushing. "I attempted to work with the chromakey feature and found this to be one area that needs some improvement."
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep but only after it is rewritten and the RS are added. --Morpho achilles (talk) 16:03, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
