Most of this article’s content is either unsourced or backed by primary sources. It also has two longstanding flags—one for an unencyclopedic how-to/instructional tone and another for insufficient sourcing. These issues highlight its failure to meet Wikipedia’s standards for reliable and verifiable content. Due to the persistent lack of proper sourcing and unresolved flagged issues, I propose that the article be deleted and redirected to Dell Technologies. I am a Dell employee with a clear conflict of interest. This deletion nomination serves as an invitation for independent editors to review and provide their verdict. Thank you!

Keep{{snd}}I don't like the current state of the article, but there is some verifiable content mixed in with the rest, so I'll be focusing on the notability of the topic. I see at least two independent, reliable sources with significant coverage: [https://www.theregister.com/2011/05/09/dell_powerconnect_switches/ an article] from The Register (which is generally reliable) and [https://books.google.com/books?id=wzcEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA44#v=onepage&q&f=false an article] from InfoWorld (which was considered reliable in a 2023 discussion). Finally, there's an [https://www.cnet.com/tech/tech-industry/dell-to-sell-network-switches/ article] from CNET (which was generally reliable in 2001). The CNET article has less significant coverage, but because the other two have more obviously significant coverage, it's likely enough to prove notability. The range in dates from these sources satisfies WP:NPRODUCT's sustained coverage requirement. PrinceTortoise (he/him • poke) 06:43, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
