Would a Merge into Vivo (technology company) sound good to you? Foxnpichu (talk) 20:26, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The page IQOO is about a well established Chinese smartphone brand introduced as a subsidiary of vivo in the year 2019 in china. But in 2020 the IQOO is launched in india as an independent brand and introduced there smartphone. Also there is an article about IQOO in the Chinese Wikipedia. So this article IQOO should not be merged or deleted, it should be like a seperate article due to it's significance. sarangmk0 (talk) 5:41, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

It does not inherit notability from its parent company. Foxnpichu (talk) 19:21, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow iQoo to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

I oppose a merge to Vivo (technology company) since there is enough coverage about iQOO as a smartphone brand to establish that it is notable independent from Vivo. Cunard (talk) 12:24, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The page is supported by quite a few sources and, as others have pointed out, the company is now independent of Vivo, so it doesn't really make sense to merge. Not sure how much these sources have changed since the article was nominated, but I don't see the notability issues here. DocFreeman24 (talk) 19:38, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
