Why should we have a list of laptops in the encyclopaedia in any event. — |

Keep: It's sourced, to an extent, and the inclusion criterion in the general sense is obvious, though I wouldn't mind seeing something specific, in a typical list-article lead section. The title should be narrowed (probably to "List of laptop manufacturers"). I don't understand the nominator's kinda
WP:IDONTLIKEIT nomination. There clearly is logic to the list; it's organized, and fairly well developed, though could be improved. Why would we not have a such a list? It's not a "list of laptops" (i.e. of laptop models), though we could have those, too (maybe we already do have some, by manufacturer?). I don't really see a deletion rationale here. —

Keep – Qualifies for an article as per
WP:NOTDUP relative to
Category:Laptops, and also per
WP:LISTPURP as a functional navigational aid. Also, the article appears to be the only "list of laptops" article on Wikipedia. Some copy editing can further improve the article. North America1000 12:11, 13 July 2015 (UTC)reply
Keep – We can't have a list of laptops. I think we can just about keep a list of laptop brands.
