Non-notable product. Article mainly consists of specifications. Contested PROD by DGG who suggests a merge. Another editor had endorsed the PROD. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 03:42, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I've found plenty of references on this product, in addition to the CNET review cited in the article: [1] (couldn't check this one, damn school filters), [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. Some of these are a bit trivial, but a couple of them are quite in-depth, and there also appears to have been a Tom's Hardware review as well, although I couldn't find this. The article needs a major re-write and expanding, but that's not an AfD issue. Lukeno94 (talk) 09:58, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Being mentioned somewhere on the internet is not a reason to have an article. It is just one of 100s of 1000s of run of the mill products out there. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 19:13, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There are enough proper reviews on there for GNG to be met. Lukeno94 (talk) 21:42, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete For a product to be notable imo it has to have had extensive coverage or made a real cultural impact. These headphones have done neither. Rotten regard 01:07, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Some of the reviews are apparently substantial. DGG ( talk ) 01:48, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No evidence of the product's impact. 1292simon (talk) 10:42, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There's no requirement that the product have an impact, only that it have substantial coverage in reliable sources. --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:27, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Just added a second review source to article. We now have significant coverage in multiple sources. Please post a link to the impact policy. This is first I've heard of this. -—Kvng 04:02, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if I misled anyone, what I'm getting at is that routine reviews of a product do not make it notable, the product needs to be special for some reason. Similar to WP:EFFECT (I realise this is for events, but I believe it is appropriate to apply here). 1292simon (talk) 07:55, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The essay Wikipedia:Every snowflake is unique is relevant: it explains that it's possible to have a good article for run-of-the-mill products as long as you have detailed reviews rather than bare statistics. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:43, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the links. Apparently there's no cut-and-dried policy. I personally think it best to err on the side of inclusion. -—Kvng 19:40, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I started a "critical reception" section. Lots of reviews; meets notability requirements. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:49, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Product reviews don't prove notability. It needs to have an impact or technical legacy. Just another product, here today, gone tomorrow. WP is not for product listings. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 03:22, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
