  • Comment Almost every mobile phone is notable in that it gets reviewed in multiple publications. However I'm struggling to find sources for this middle-market product; I only found 2 reviews[http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=VFwEAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PT2&ots=Q76sWvN6jN&dq=Samsung%20F250&pg=PT2#v=onepage&q=Samsung%20F250&f=false][http://www.mobile-review.com/print.php?filename=/review/samsung-f250-en.shtml], some short preview-type articles[http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/][http://www.mobilegazette.com/samsung-f250-07x12x06.htm][http://www.mydigitallife.info/latest-samsung-f250-music-slider-phone/][http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=I-sDAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PT15&ots=GoVcuy_aQT&dq=Samsung%20F250&pg=PT15#v=onepage&q=Samsung%20F250&f=false], and a bare specs listing on CNet[http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/samsung-f250-unlocked-quad/4507-6452_7-34107724.html].

::Fair enough, but in the end all they provide specifications and reviews, which are often opinionated. There hasn't really been that much coverage over this particular model.

::::I can see your point, what I meant is it's got a lot of coverage in things other than technology magazines.

  • Merge with the article Samsung. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 14:28, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
  • There is no sourced content to merge. There is no point in redirecting even, if the target will not discuss the redirect name. Even if it did, imagine if every article like that were merged into its parent company article… Keφr (talk) 05:54, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
  • Merge would also create an WP:UNDUE issue in destination. -—Kvng 03:36, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

  • Comment - This debate on phone models happens a fair bit. Search WP:Articles for deletion/Samsung and check the search suggestions. Personally I don't see this as a particularly notable phone, but that's just my two cents. We're not a directory, that's what technology magazines are for.

  • Delete. All phones get reviewed somewhere (never mind product announcements). But this one doesn't even get the claimed two reviews. The one in French is not about this model. It just says at the bottom that the F250 is a better alternative because it's cheaper (at 130 euros) than the Samsung Elite at 200 euro, which is what the review is about. And http://www.mobile-review.com/ seems to says something about every phone. This article is unsourced WP:OR: "buggy software" etc. It's worth mentioning this phone in the general article about Samsung phones, but I don't see what's to be merged from here.
