This is strictly an advertisement for a new instrument, not an encyclopedia article. The model that this product replaces is redlinked here, too. A Google news search turns up nothing. WP:SPAM problems. Ecoleetage (talk) 16:07, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Another editor created the article, and I tried to make it as NPOV as possible. I found a review at http://www.yamaha-keyboard-guide.com/yamaha-psr-s900.html, but didn't add it since I felt suspicious about the site. -- Eastmain (talk) 17:54, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't believe that review passes WP:RS. I commend your effort in trying to save this article, Eastmain, but sadly it is still not an encyclopedia article. Ecoleetage (talk) 18:07, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * From the review's website, "My name is Mantius Cazaubon. I've been playing keyboards ever since I was a child. Yamaha keyboards were a favorite of mine at that time and continue to be." It's a fansite of sorts, and that disqualifies it, in my opinion. Drmies (talk) 18:19, 24 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete, with kudos to Eastmain. Drmies (talk) 18:19, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge & Redirect to List of Yamaha products which I intend to do. RMHED (talk) 19:48, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. Are there any magazines not available on the Internet which might have reviewed this instrument and which would count as a reliable source? I'm not a musician, and I'm not familiar with the specialist magazines that potential purchasers of the Yamaha PSR-S900 might read. -- Eastmain (talk) 20:20, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge according to notability guidelines (WP:PRODUCT) products should be included in the company page. -- neon white talk 21:32, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Music-related deletion discussions.   --  Fabrictramp  |  talk to me  22:44, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Even if it is merged, notability is not confirmed as per WP:RS. Without any confirmation of notability, I still believe deletion is the only proper course of action. Ecoleetage (talk) 03:09, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Reply There is no "merge and delete". According to the GFDL, if content is merged to another location, the history is to be maintained. Besides, redirects are cheap. -Verdatum (talk) 21:06, 29 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,   Sandstein   19:44, 29 October 2008 (UTC)


 * merge per RMHED. (the merge appears to have already taken place, so a redirect should be all that's needed). -Verdatum (talk) 21:08, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * While I appreciate the decision to merge the information in attempt to save the subject, nonetheless it still quotes the Yamaha promotional material as its sole source of information -- I had to remove the merged text because it still fails WP:RS. The sad fact remains the subject is just not notable and this article is completely non-encyclopedic. Ecoleetage (talk) 00:50, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * a major company's description of its own product is a sufficiently RS for factual material. DGG (talk) 02:43, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * For a very, very brief acknowledgment of the existence of the product, perhaps. But marketing collateral should not be used for RS purposes, which is what happened here. Ecoleetage (talk) 10:59, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
