Proposing merger of radio model articles to brand article

[edit]

Please see discussion for background.

I've started checking out the Yaesu radio model articles and most are little more than tables or lists of facts with no support reference or assertion of individual notability. I'd like to propose that most, if not all, of these model articles be rolled into the Yaesu brand article. The model list in the article can be rebuilt into a table showing models, modes, important dates, and key details. Part of what I'd like this discussion to cover is how the table will be formatted and what information should be included. Once this brand is done we'll probably end up doing the same for both ICOM and Kenwood. What are people's thoughts and feelings? --StuffOfInterest 12:53, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't support. If you want to see the result of a page made up of tables of comparisons see Comparison of e-mail clients which is a nightmare with all sorts of meaningless specifications and impossible to follow what most of the edits refer to. Quite a few rigs, certainly the FT101, FT1000MP etc, the FT290R (very popular in Europe) which I started and the FT817 deserve their own articles. Those who moan they are too short should expand them. I vote for the status quo. Dsergeant 15:01, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Don't support. It would be really nice if models of note had some kind of separate page associated with them, it would be kinda hard to list all the helpful info about the popular models in a table. Kayfox 17:54, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Won't support. However, We MIGHT want to consider breaking these down into separate types of transceivers; HF-capable base units, mobile radios and hand-helds. BTW, I added my own pic for the VX-5R, what a great handy-scratchy! Edit Centric 21:19, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Don't support. Merging them all into the Yaesu (brand) would make for a crazy-long article. (As a counter-argument, though, there doesn't seem to be much of a precedent for having articles for each amateur radio in a line of products.) I don't think merging the articles into the main Yaesu article is the way to do this, and there's really no sense in outright deleting the articles. Fogster 02:16, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Don't support, their should be some coordination done so that the reader is given the oportunity to see the articles on each Unit, with incidental units just mentioned in the main article. Several of the products are aimed at different spheres (Unlikely that someone in the market for information on a FRG-7 is also searching for info on a 2M hand held.cmacd 16:53, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Don't support. The claimed lack of "support references" will not be fixed by the proposed change. Combining all articles on into one page will reduce organizational flexibility and generate roadblocks. The proper way to organize information is to maintain separate stores with links connecting them as appropriate. E.g. All articles on Yaesu radios have a link back to the "Yaesu article".
Don't support. Each radio has unique issues. People are focused on learning about a particular radio. There are radios that are very similar and can be merged, such as the VX-7 family, but not all.Altaphon 22:27, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Don't support. This proposal hasn't had a single supporting vote in 5 months. The merge tag on the various individual radio articles should be removed.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dan East (talkcontribs)
Works for me. After seeing several attempts to delete small articles like this ones listed I figured it would be safer to merge than fight deletions all the time. Maybe this process will provide some top cover, but the next time a deletionist comes along we may have more battles to fight on such small articles. --StuffOfInterest 11:38, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This discussion is appreciated, nearly a decade later, but the underlying articles have not progressed in the intervening decade. They are being picked off for deletion one by one. Merging the content here will preserve it more than any other approach would. A nice table, per above, may be an improvement. 49ersBelongInSanFrancisco (talk) 08:49, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I created the side Yaesu radio transceivers, to made the brand articel more reader-friendly. 73 --2036India (talk) 09:14, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:YaesuMusen logo.gif

[edit]

Image:YaesuMusen logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Several articles listed for deletion

[edit]

Articles for several Yaesu handhelds have been listed for deletion: VX-2R, VX-3R, VX-5R, VX-6R, VX-7R, VX-8R. Please see AFD here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yaesu VX-2R. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 13:56, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also Yaesu FT-290R Dsergeant (talk) 17:47, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yaesu FT-60, Yaesu FT-2900R, Yaesu FT-290R, Yaesu FT-221, and Yaesu FRG-7700 were all PRODed. I've removed the prod, but I expect them to be listed as AfD soon. We need to add references to these articles to save them asap. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 16:12, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I was able to find references for the VX series articles, which led to those articles being merged to Yaesu VX series. The Yaesu FT-1000MP article is also up for deletion and requires references. Thanks. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 19:09, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
