Unpatrolled since 19 September 2010. This appears to be a spam posting for Chinese copies of genuine products. Doubtful encyclopedic value. Kudpung (talk) 10:16, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Some articles on these products are spam, however the article is not written as an advert in this case. This is actually a very common phone in the UK (London at least). Therefore, just like other manufacturers, it has a place on Wikipedia. (see the PearC nomination for deletion) --AnonyLog (talk) 16:07, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The Google News archive search linked in the nomination finds plenty of coverage, such as [1], [2], [3] and [4], and the article is not written in a promotional way. Phil Bridger (talk) 08:37, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:03, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The gut reaction is that a counterfeit shouldn't be notable, but this one is, since it's so commonplace. Both Engadget and Gizmodo have featured it, along with minor mentions in tons of other media outlets.--hkr Laozi speak 07:52, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
