List of Fujifilm FinePix cameras[edit]

Page is simply a list of the cameras in the line. Most of the cameras on the page are either red linked or have no Wikilinking whatsoever. Delete as per WP:NOT as it is a collection of information. Plm209^{(talk • contribs)} 12:32, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related page because it is basically the same article with some minor differences:

List of Fujifilm products (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) Plm209^{(talk • contribs)} 11:47, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It seems that a category would better suited to contain this information. PCock 12:47, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and do the job via a category. Several of the blue links are just redirects back to this list! Kim Dent-Brown ^{(Talk to me)} 12:55, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The list, as it stands, is certainly no encyclopedic content, it's just a product catalog. But my first thought was in fact a different one: What about the blue links in the list? They often contain descriptions of products (digital cameras), the notability of which has not been established by WP:CORP, at least I saw no sources cited. Would it not be better to merge these articles into the list, thus filling it with some (hopefully encyclopedic) content? (For me, that would make more sense than deleting the list and keeping the articles about non-notable products.) --B. Wolterding 13:31, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This sort of thing just encourages people to write articles on each model, and I am pretty certain we don't want tens of thousands of articles on individual models of camera, printer, computer, etc. A description of a product line may be appropriate, if it won't fit in the corporate article; and a particular product can certainly be notable - the Apple II computer, for instance. This sort of thing is better maintained on the company's own website. Brianyoumans 19:10, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or Merge. Unless you are willing to withdraw this nomination and then submit a group nomination for ALL of the similar lists this needs to be kept. The products for many companies have lists like this, List of products manufactured by Kodak is another example. Given the number of lists like this that do exist, they all need to be considered as a group. If these articles are deleted and not merged into the main articles, the material will likely return as sections in the parent company articles. Vegaswikian 18:01, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a good argument here. Let's discuss this particular case. What would be the best option? Merging into Fujifilm does not seem appropriate, the article would grow too long. In my opinion the list should be transformed into an article about "Fujifilm digital cameras" by whatever name. But what should be done for that? Stubify? Merge content from elsewhere? Rewrite (who does that)? --B. Wolterding 18:28, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - This is not a WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument. It is a case of we have a real problem here that is best discussed by dealing with all of these at one time. Selective deletion is not good. Vegaswikian 20:45, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom., and most of above comments. At the very least, this is borderline spam.--JayJasper 19:20, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm...as a list I don't think it serves a useful purpose but if it was renamed and expanded to something like 'Fujifilm cameras' or 'History of Fujifilm cameras' might it have a place? Something like Lumix. Agree that there are many many 'List of X products', which I'd apply the same argument to. In summary, Merge the 2 articles up for deletion, rename to one of my suggestions and delistify. Paulbrock 00:12, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just so you know, I will be going on a personal campaign to remove many such lists from WP in one fell swoop over the course of the coming weeks. As such, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS will not apply ^(hopefully) after the overhaul. Plm209^{(talk • contribs)} 12:07, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
