Help

I was wondering if there is anyone who would like to help me make this at least a better article.... Thanks. Stealth (talk) 01:05, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to try asking on an appropriate WikiProject's talk page. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 13:32, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Mino proposal

I'm proposing that Flip Video Mino be merged here. The Flip Mino isn't substantially different than the Flip Video itself, and is best understood in the context of the main Flip Video article. This will reduce the amount of duplicated information in these two articles. Comments? tedder (talk) 07:23, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No responses after 5+ days, so I'm merging. tedder (talk) 06:51, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Undid this, I want more talk about it. I disagree with this notion. Stealth (talk)

Can you give some reasons, stealth500? And do you work for Pure Digital? tedder (talk) 15:02, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I personally think that the Flip Video Mino is a large enough subject and does not need to be merged. I will say however that it should be expanded and otherwise given more references. However I think it should stay, or have both the Flip Video Mino and the Flip Video made into 1 large page instead of a page about the Flip Video and a small section about the mino. Does that sound possible? Also, I am not from pure Digital, I simply own a Flip Video and decided to look up the information and make the page. Stealth (talk)

A large enough subject? But it's the SMALLER of the Flip Videos! I am now slapping my knee and laughing silently. Good day. 67.161.21.212 (talk) 01:52, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(deindenting) My reasoning for wanting to merge them is due to the reasons on the merge guidelines page; there is almost complete overlap between the two pages, and the two products are best understood in the context of each other. In other words, what's the difference between the Flip and the Flip Mino? It's a lot easier to understand the differences when they are on one page. I certainly agree that there should be more information on the Mino (rather than how it is currently, where there's more about the original), but that doesn't seem to be relevant to a discussion about merging. tedder (talk) 18:22, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think that Mino should have it's own article; as well as Flip Ultra. Flip video is a brand name, but Flip Mino is a model in said product line. It's like saying that an article on Chevy Volt should be merged into the article on Chevy. The Mino is a different product than the Ultra and is not the same as flip video, because flip video is a brand name and not an actual product. However, I would draw the line at having a separate article for Mino and MinoHD, because MinoHD is a variant of the Mino. Just look at the structuring of the article iPod. It includes a brief section on every model of iPod; including iPod nano. However, you'll notice that the article iPod nano exists as well. You'll notice that in the main iPod article there is brief writing on the iPod nano, and the iPod nano also says the same info, but goes on to tell more detailed info about the generations of iPod nano, the specs, the lawsuits and the photos of it.
