Sony Ericsson P990

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable commercial product. Too few substantial references exist to build a sustainable, well-referenced Wikipedia article. What's available are largely product reviews (which don't do much but confirm the product's existence) and press-release driven capsule pieces.

prod was removed by User:202.65.53.146 with the comment "I understand your concern but I find these pages to be very useful for our customer support and development of mobile applications.", which I think demonstrates how Wikipedia is being abused for commercial products.

 * Strong Keep The fact that people are using this article is a reason to keep it, not delete it. The item seems to be notable in that it is a flagship product, has a fan-following and much anticipation.  The article has lots of references so the proposal just seems to be malicious.

 * Comment. The article that I'm looking at has no references (at all). There's a link farm in the EL section, but there are zero references and several cite tags. -- Mikeblas 15:43, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Very strong keep as per Colonel Warden-it had essential information to make it a notable page. Do not delete a page due to your liking but check the page first.--Quek157 14:06, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete Wikipedia is not a phone catalog, and WP:N is not quite satisfied by the two reviews. Edison 19:01, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Edison does raise valid concerns, but I'm thinking it's probably over the line for notability, but just so.  -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 19:16, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - Per above. -- ZeWrestler  Talk 03:01, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - I think there should be a total review of this cell-phone issue. I hope I don't offend anyone by saying so, but I have started to dislike what seems to be a salami-tactic used to delete all the cell-phones. Also, it is my conviction Wikipedia should - in general- have an article of all cell-phones with notable sources, so people comming and looking for information, will find it here.

 * Very Strong Keep - I can't believe that the thought of deleting even crossed your mind, this is one of the major phones to be released and if you have this page deleted, you might as well consider delete every corresponding phone release from every manufacturer. The "Non-notable commercial product" is unfounded as this is one of the successor of the P series by SE. At present, this page is in no way attempting to market nor encouraging others to purchase this phone. However, I would agree that this page needs a clean-up and standards improved to match the other cell-phone pages. But how would you justify keeping the remainder cell-phone pages (for example the N95) and how different are those pages compared to this? --Wikhull (talk) 20:00, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
