Sony Ericsson K200

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable cellular phone. Too few substantial third-party references exist to write a meaningful article about this product. Indeed, after removing un-encyclopedic catalog information (an unreferenced "features" list), there's really nothing left. Wikipedia is not a Sony Ericsson catalog. Wikipedia is not a cell-phone catalog. Mikeblas (talk) 15:48, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom, fairly straightforward.-- Oni Ookami Alfador Talk 16:48, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete No refs presented to satisfy the notability requirement. There were some articles mentioning it when it was released, based on the manufacturer's press release, but substantial coverage is needed. Absent substantial coverage by multiple independent and reliable sources about a particular model, it makes as little sense to have an encyclopedia article about every model of phone made by Sony Ericsson as to have separate articles about every model of hammer sold by Sears Roebuck .

 * Keep. We should not be hearing all of the cell phone deletion nominations in isolation.  It is a solid, well written article about a popular phone with good sales.  There is a general tendency to keep these articles, and fairly complete encyclopedic coverage of the major phone lines (that is, until people start taking pot shots at them and the articles get deleted randomly according to who happens to comment on and close the nomination).  If someone has a point to make that they don't think individual cell phones should have articles they should take it up at the policy level, not trench warfare here at AfD.Wikidemo (talk) 23:45, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Verifiable by reliable sources, and per Wikidemo. --Ryan Delaney talk 03:48, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - just another mobile phone. No notability of it's own. - fchd (talk) 09:40, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'm not aware of any "non-notable" cell phones from Sony Ericsson.  (jarbarf) (talk) 21:32, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Wikidemo. Greswik (talk) 18:51, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
