Redirect to TCL Corporation#Products. As far as I can tell, it's only mentioned in passing wrt. its 2010 CES appearance. Company article is fairly short so a short mention there should be fine per WP:NPRODUCT. Notability can be revisited if a WP:SIZESPLIT ever becomes necessary.— Alpha3031 (t • c) 07:22, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
~~Aren't we hitting an undue weight problem with that? - It seems that "TCL 3-D TV" is a rather obscure thing in TCL's past. -- DexterPointy (talk) 09:06, 4 August 2018 (UTC)~~[reply]

I think an appearance at CES merits mention. It's an interesting concept recognized by sources, even if it isn't notable enough for an article. Note that I'm not suggesting a merge, but I think adding the sentence "TCL unveiled a glasses-free 3D TV at CES 2010" or something like that – maybe adding that it hasn't receive attention since then – wouldn't be undue, seeing as it's mentioned by multiple sources, if only in passing.— Alpha3031 (t • c) 03:52, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, this is kind of problematic: The TCL Corporation article seems to be rather incomplete and partly looks like a bunch of facts throw into the mix (the "History"-section being particular awful). It's probably best to simply add any "TCL 3-D TV" info to that article's talk-page for now, which also implies that a redirect is premature. -- DexterPointy (talk) 09:27, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete TCL has long moved onto being the prime manufacturer of Roku television sets, and this seemed like a sideline attempt to get into the US that just never popped because of the failure in 3DTV in general. There's not much here outside of a nice attempt to get into a market that never existed. Nate • (chatter) 02:02, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Striking vote and changing to delete, with no prejudice against redirect creation, as I am now convinced that it would be problematic to add this information to the company's page at this time. The information could be documented at the talk page per DexterPointy's suggestion, and a redirect to either the company or 3D television#3D-ready TV sets could be created iff future visitors/searchers feel it would be useful. It is unclear that a redirect would be useful at the moment.
