Yaesu FT-290R

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a stub article, but I can’t see that there is anything notable about this product, despite the claim it was one of the first models to feature both SSB and FM modes in a portable unit. A notability tag has been attached since 2008; there was PROD in 2011 because of this but this was challenged and it didn’t progress to a discussion at that time. There are no primary sources used but the improvement tag that had been placed on the page in 2011 was mis-spelled. There hasn’t been any further substantial work on the page. Suggest delete or perhaps merge to Yaesu (brand) article. Drchriswilliams (talk) 13:36, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Redirect to Yaesu (brand), as there does not seem to be notable enough for an individual article. If the description of the product could be verified, then including it in the company's article could be useful. I also note that there is a current AFD for another Yaesu product at Articles for deletion/Yaesu FT-901. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 00:41, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
