There are hundreds of Chromebooks, including many that are not on this list. Of these, only a handful have been deemed notable for their own article. Not only is this list unwieldy and the scope too broad to be feasibly maintained, but the material also reeks of WP:NOTCATALOG and WP:LISTCRUFT. InfiniteNexus (talk) 05:34, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

- Delete (moved from leaning), I agree entirely with the nom statement that the scope of "list of chromebooks" is so broad and ever increasing, that it's simply not feasible to maintain the article as an up to date list which is all-encompassing. Even as a means of supporting a purchase for interested readers, the older devices become insignificant with the passage of time, except if becoming historically notable. Unless others counter with a sound retention rationale, i'm edging towards delete, as to rewrite into something different would probably be a WP:TNT job anyway.

- Firmed up "delete" vote, especially in light of original author also concurring with deletion. Bungle (talk • contribs) 08:25, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

- Delete - as the person who created the article, only to get the excessively long list of info off the main Chromebook page, I'm happy for it to be deleted as unwieldy/unable to be maintained/trivial/excessively detailed for inclusion on WP. —Hyperik ⌜talk⌟ 21:47, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete - Not maintainable. List of Chromebook manufacturers may be doable but not this. Google's list is accessible one click from EL in Chromebook. ~Kvng (talk) 17:31, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
