Talk:List of La Marzocco products

Regarding proposal to delete page

Untitled

This page was proposed for deletion for not providing any value to Wikipedia. That is not correct in my mind.

Justification

Before reading further, please understand that the current article is more-or-less a "stub"- a work in progress.

The La Marzocco page has been pretty pitiful. I'm attempting to slowly clean it up. Originally the page had no info on their coffee machines/grinders. I feel like the machines are complex and interesting enough that they deserve a decent write-up (specs, history, photos etc), but not significant enough for each coffee machine to have it's own page (like a car model may have). I feel that the amount of write-up each product deserves it too big to cram onto the main La Marzocco article, but too small for their own indivudal pages. Thus,On the main La Marzocco article I have simply linked to this page.

I've based this decision on the Dyson (company) page and List_of_Dyson_products.

I'm working on the pre-release version of this article in My sandbox. The problem is that there is so much incorrect information out there regarding La Marzocco products, so I don't want to fill the proper article with incorrect junk while I slowly gather the correct info.

I figure that in the meantime, this stub will do - Hugzz (talk) 11:58, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

• Sounds good and good luck. My problem with it as that at the moment it looks to be more about advertising (this is what he have) and a catalogue of products rather than providing any information about them. But I had a look at your sandbox that that makes more sense. I suggest adding an "under construction" tag so that it's clear that's what your doing. Callanecc (talk) 01:06, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

• • Thanks. Unfortunately the amount of info out there regarding many LM products (and the brand as a whole) is woeful, which is why I've taken an interest in filling out the wikipedia pages. I'm an owner/operator of a LM and prior to buying it I did heaps of research but could find barely any hard info on the products/brand. Even now I know lots of things about the products from talking to LM engineers, but that's in the category of "original research".

I'm tempted to add a proper article to this page (more or less from my sandbox) and fill it outwith "citation needed" until I can find solid references. Do you think it's better to have a page with very little info, or a page full of info which is (hopefully temporarily) lacking in good citations? Hugzz (talk) 06:56, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
