 * Defense against deletion

I don't know how to dispute this accurately, so I'll copy and paste the response on the talk page here. Might do some good.

There are similar articles for other specific Yamaha products, some exist without a single citation. Yes, some citations here are not independent, so I'll go ahead and change them. I'd prefer a friendly notification next time instead of an outright request for deletion. I made this page a day ago, please give me more than 24 hours to finish it up. If you still don't think it meets the standards of the dozens of other similar-length Yamaha product pages, some of which include not a single citation (independent or not) then go ahead and delete this one.

If this page should be deleted, I argue all Yamaha product pages in this same category should be requested for deletion. Yet they're not, so why is this one under scrutiny? Semmendinger (talk) 18:24, 3 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Merge into a new article called "Yamaha P-Series" with the others: Yamaha P-85, Yamaha P-115, Yamaha P-120, Yamaha P-250. It's a reasonably long-running series of professional products which are independently reviewed, but on its own it's not notable. It doesn't have the history to merit individual articles. Compare to the Roland MC-series, for context. 157.235.66.80 (talk) 20:49, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * That sounds like an idea that would work. I do not know how to merge them specifically but would be willing to help in shaping the page. I agree that the other pages are perhaps not the most informative on their own. Semmendinger (talk) 21:29, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Added more references not affiliated with Yamaha, hoping to bring less bias to the article. I've looked into the idea of a merge as well, and while their names share the symbol "P" not all "P-xxx" instruments Yamaha makes are of the Portable Piano line. Calling it P series might confuse it with other of their portable series' so I would think it's best to keep them separate. I'll continue to do my research about this article to get it removed from AfD. I find it interesting still that this article is nominated for deletion while the others are not.
