Regarding proposal to delete page

This page was proposed for deletion for not providing any value to Wikipedia. That is not correct in my mind.

Justification

[edit]

Before reading further, please understand that the current article is more-or-less a "stub"- a work in progress.

The La Marzocco page has been pretty pitiful. I'm attempting to slowly clean it up. Originally the page had no info on their coffee machines/grinders. I feel like the machines are complex and interesting enough that they deserve a decent write-up (specs, history, photos etc), but not significant enough for each coffee machine to have it's own page (like a car model may have). I feel that the amount of write-up each product deserves it too big to cram onto the main La Marzocco article, but too small for their own indivudal pages. Thus,On the main La Marzocco article I have simply linked to this page.

I've based this decision on the Dyson (company) page and List_of_Dyson_products.

I'm working on the pre-release version of this article in My sandbox. The problem is that there is so much incorrect information out there regarding La Marzocco products, so I don't want to fill the proper article with incorrect junk while I slowly gather the correct info.

I figure that in the meantime, this stub will do - Hugzz (talk) 11:58, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Sounds good and good luck. My problem with it as that at the moment it looks to be more about advertising (this is what he have) and a catalogue of products rather than providing any information about them. But I had a look at your sandbox that that makes more sense. I suggest adding an "under construction" tag so that it's clear that's what your doing. Callanecc (talk) 01:06, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks. Unfortunately the amount of info out there regarding many LM products (and the brand as a whole) is woeful, which is why I've taken an interest in filling out the wikipedia pages. I'm an owner/operator of a LM and prior to buying it I did heaps of research but could find barely any hard info on the products/brand. Even now I know lots of things about the products from talking to LM engineers, but that's in the category of "original research".

I'm tempted to add a proper article to this page (more or less from my sandbox) and fill it outwith "citation needed" until I can find solid references. Do you think it's better to have a page with very little info, or a page full of info which is (hopefully temporarily) lacking in good citations? Hugzz (talk) 06:56, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
