Made in Romania (products)

Wikipedia is not a directory of products made in one country, or list of trademarks in one particular country. Dennis Brown (talk) 19:13, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - hopeless list of Romaniacruft. Eddie.willers (talk) 23:09, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Article is a directory -- Whpq (talk) 16:26, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but rewrite - I agree that the article should not include a directory, but I believed that it should be rewritten following Made in Germany, Made in China and Made in USA other similar examples, granted Romania is a smaller country. And I am slightly offended by Eddie.willer's comments. Also, I guess that the user created it with the name Made in Romania (products) not just to simply make a list but mostly since the name Made in Romania is already taken by a film article. --Codrin.B (talk) 05:14, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I would think that you would move the movie article Made in Romania to Made in Romania (film) if one were to salvage the article into something different than the current "list of Romanian products", then use Made in Romania for the article about Romania being a country of origin. At this stage, it would still be a complete rewrite, thus delete could still be applicable. And yes, Eddie could have been more tactful but I wouldn't take it personal, as I'm sure it wasn't meant as a slam to Romania, just a slam against "list of" articles that resemble directories.

I have already moved Made in Romania, so it is just a matter of fixing linkbacks, if any, and creating from scratch if you so choose, which would still leave us deleting this one. Dennis Brown (talk) 15:54, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot. It makes sense. I will contact the author about this as well and advertise it in WP:ROMANIA.--Codrin.B (talk) 22:10, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete This would open the door to every product in the world to be listed. Only way it would fly with me is if it focused on the idea of what Made in Romania means (i.e., Made in USA versus Made in China). Many good products do come out of China, and in the same breath, many U.S. products are really rubbish, but a stereotype has developed leading many to equate Made in China with being of dubious quality.
