Woodturning Lathes in the North American Market

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

List of non-notable woodturning lathes. This seems more like a buyer's guide than an encyclopedia article. Iago Qnsi (talk) 13:44, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I put this listing together to inform both potential buyers as well as people simply interested in woodturning lathes. It's a listing article not dissimilar to Pokemon characters or anti-virus software. What improvements can I make to make the article more suitable for Wikipedia?

 * In wikipedia, lists are navigation tools for wikipedia topics. As a rule they are lists of wikipedia articles. Yours is not. Wikipeida is not a directory. - üser:Altenmann >t 15:58, 26 March 2016 (UTC)


 * delete non-encyclopedic purpose of the list. - üser:Altenmann >t 15:58, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

Altenmann, thanks for the link to the "not a directory" explanation, I guess this article does indeed violate that rule. Go ahead and remove the article. DavidPx (talk) 17:38, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
