Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Binoculars focus direction

Could somebody please elaborate on the reason this article is being considered for deletion?

The warning says it's a "Poorly sourced WP:INDISCRIMINATE list of binocular properties."

I believe these statistics were sourced by users contributing on a forum, so they will be most likely be correct. The forum discussions are linked at the bottom of the page. Would it fix that part of the problem if the source of the information was referenced better?

As for being an indiscriminate list, perhaps that's true. It is, however, and interesting list for people interested in binoculars. Would some kind of reformatting or linking to other articles about binoculars resolve this objection?


 * Forum posts are not reliable sources for an encyclopedia (see WP:RS). Perhaps you can find one or more sources in books, magazines, journals or newspapers to show that a list of binocular focus direction specifications is notable (see WP:N). Has a respected authority compiled such a list? Please remember that Wikipedia is not a source of original thought. We write about what has already been written about. I hope that helps answer your questions. - MrX 01:32, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

The reason this information was compiled was because it just isn't available anywhere. If asking forum members the supply the information for their own binoculars isn't acceptable then fair enough. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.183.101.44 (talk) 02:02, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
