Per WP:COMPANY, specifically WP:PRODUCT, this article does not have notability on its own. It is just listing specifications of the product and does not prove notability. User226 (talk) 20:37, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• I am also nominating the following related pages because of the same issue regarding WP:PRODUCT. Most appear to have been created by the same user and are all products of the Allwinner company. :

• A similar article was deleted and discussed here for the same reasons: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Allwinner_A31s

Article Allwinner_A20 was created by User:Sudozero. The rest appear to have all be created by User:PersephoneII.

Also, AllWinner_A1X Seems to suffer the same issues, but I am not sure if it could be expanded as a family and become notable. It may be best to take this one to AFD by itself. User226 (talk) 21:20, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"it's not notable, gotta keep it clean! clean out that hash table!" <- your argument. i'm not sure how wikipedia is hurt by having this information. is there somewhere we can consolidate this information? -- Sudozero (talk) 21:11, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

sorry if that was too harsh. i'm just frustrated with the common wikipedia culture of deleting information, because someone thinks it's "not noteable," whatever that means. last time i checked the information was useful to me. -- Sudozero (talk) 21:12, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, per WP:COMPANY, product information can be under the main company's article. A product should only have its own page if the product, in itself, is notable. A product does not inherit notability from the parent company. User226 (talk) 21:28, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Deleting an article after merging content would break the attribution of the content to its authors, see WP:MERGE: "Merging—regardless of the amount of information kept—should always leave a redirect (or, in some cases, a disambiguation page) in place." 109.76.180.21 (talk) 19:42, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to List of Allwinner chipsets - I can agree that the individual SoCs aren't notable on teir own, but would it be feasible if they're merged into a list rather than just dump them into the main article? Blake Gripling (talk) 02:24, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep/Merge These items are significant, since they are used in millions of low-powered devices. Furthermore, the A10 is something of a first in the free software community, since it can run with fully-free (non-proprietary) software (including userspace, kernel, bootloader, "bios"/u-boot, and no need for microcode). this little chip may be meaningless to you, but it is hardly meaningless to me. 1 -- Sudozero (talk) 20:41, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to List of Allwinner SoCs - the SoCs themselves aren't notable, but it's worth keeping the information. We should merge the information under one page and break it up into two tables (one for the A-family and one for the F-family). Look to the Exynos (system on chip) article for inspiration.

• Merge/Redirect to Allwinner Technology or create a list. Eduemoni^↑talk↓ 19:44, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• I'm a user who visits this information frequently and does embedded development. If the information was under Allwinner SOCs or something it would be good, I would just hate to see the information be deleted entirely. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.113.25.42 (talk) 07:03, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • [WP:ITUSEFUL]] is not a reason to keep. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 07:21, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete All the table in Allwinner Technology seems enough to have in an encyclopedia. Details for any specific product should be available from the vendor; not Wikipedia's job to supply data sheets. W Nowicki (talk) 17:22, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge all to one general page. Stifle (talk) 18:54, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
