Delete per WP:NOTDIR, WP:NOTCATALOG. Tons of non-inks and red links. The list isn't particularly vibrant, so it doesn't meet WP:LSC which says Criteria for inclusion should factor in encyclopedic and topical relevance, not just verifiable existence.

Keep: Easily meets WP:NLIST where Gibson products have been discussed as a set (e.g., Gibson's Fabulous Flat-top Guitars: An Illustrated History, Gibson Electrics: The Classic Years, The Gibson Electric Guitar Book: Seventy Years of Classic Guitars, etc.). It's literally impossible to say otherwise. Furthermore, the amount of Gibson products with their own independent pages easily means this page has a function as a navigation page (no, categories are not the same; this could be expanded into a more detailed list of just notable products easily). For the latter reason alone, (and per WP:CATALOG literally saying Wikipedia functions as an index or directory of its own content) it should be kept. Why?

Keep It would be more useful in a table format with the year something came out and other information listed, but even without that, this is still a valid information and navigational list. The number of blue links alone indicates that clearly. Dream Focus 09:12, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
