far from complete list which provides nothing more than a category would. RadioFan (talk) 11:42, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - I originally removed the PROD. Even if now the list appears to be possibly redundant, it is not bounded to be so. A list of manufacturers can include former manufacturers and can possibly add details. The fact it is not doing now is not a ground for deletion: AfD is not cleanup. --Cyclopia - talk 11:56, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Its still not clear how this list might grow beyond what is already provided (more completely) by the Headphones manufacturers category. It lacks any introductory paragraph indicating why such a list is notable. Notable former manufacturers can be included in the Headphones manufacturers category as well.--RadioFan (talk) 14:22, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- It could provide details on what they manufacture; it could include brief historical details on when a company started (and maybe ended) producing them, etc. I am not an expert on the subject and as such I am no the right person for the job, but it is obvious that there is potential to improve -and if we want to improve it, we need the list to stay. --Cyclopia - talk 14:52, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as for similar lists for any significant product. The implied limitation, as usual, is notable headphone manufacturers. As a general rule , unless there is some special reason otherwise, if there is a category, it will make sense there should be a list. Time we codified it. People use different navigational devices & the purpose of Wikipedia is to provide information for people to find and use. DGG ( talk ) 23:50, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment the current list consists of 7 names. This is a borderline A3 speedy deletion case. Are there enough notable manufacturers of headphones to make a list article worth maintaining?--RadioFan (talk) 12:00, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy Delete per lack of context. Right the entries there are more suitable at a category. --JForget 00:05, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy delete just because the manufacturer is notable doesn't mean that the manufacturer is notably associated with headphones. 76.66.194.183 (talk) 12:53, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
