List of Mobile Phones with Xenon Flash[edit]

This, I believe, comes under listcruft (or would if listcruft was policy). Silly list, is my point; list of phones with a certain flash? The world duly waits for the next project, 'List of flippy phones that make a beeping noise when you open them'.

Delete Don't give anyone any ideas :P! Anyways, yes, this is unnotable listcruft for a feature almost nobody looks for in a phone. Nate • (chatter) 06:04, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. At best, the feature might warrant an article, but the particular models which use a technology aren't notable for that... List of machines with combustion engines? No thanks. and check for a category as well, let's cut taht off at the twinkle in the eye. ThuranX (talk) 07:11, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete what the...? Is this any use to anybody? I don't see any encyclopedic value here. Or maybe we should keep it as an ideal example of WP:BEANS :P Chamal ^talk 13:41, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. If this was a category, it would be deleted as overcategorization. While lists can be used in conjuction with categories, the same criteria apply, this is overly specific and of no encyclopedic use. - Mgm|^(talk) 15:24, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This is actually a very useful and relevant list — a xenon flash is by far the best lighting option (besides natural light, of course) for taking photos, as camera phones go. However, it's unreferenced/original research, so it's a delete, strictly without prejudice against recreation if a list or similar source is published by a reliable source.

Keep A Xenon flash is actually a very important feature for anyone who is going to use their phone as a camera regularly in low light conditions and as more and more mobile phones come on the market with xenon flash this article will become of more importance, I have addressed the concerns people have had of this article not being referenced.Accumet8000
Because your keep vote is made in such a neutral fashion :P. Wikipedia is not a review site for phones, though. We do not have five-star ratings for products and the wonderfulness of xenon flash is not for us to decide. Wikipedia is also not a crystal ball; if the content becomes important enough that it deserves an article it can be recreated in the future rather than having it linger around 'because it might be notable in the future'. In any case coverage of this topic is already present at xenon flash. Ironholds (talk) 09:32, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
