Non-notable – many MP3 players that have been reviewed by "big" magazine websites like CNET do not (and should not) have their own articles. The articles nominated just contain technical specification of the product (or products, if you consider them to be separate).

The only reason for notability seems to be the claim that this is the "world's smallest" MP3 player, but the citation for that goes to a PCMag page which says "... billed as the "world's smallest" digital audio player, and we're pretty sure that's true" which is not any form of proof of the claim. Furthermore, "billed" seems to imply that these are the words of the manufacturer only, and indeed I have not been able to find any sort of official confirmation of the claim.

Hi @Liz – I left a message over at your talk page related to this nomination. AlexGallon (talk) 18:29, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep 1, 2, 3, 4 A gadget that was widely reviewed at the time of its release from major pubs and had lasting coverage. Tech products's notability largely depends on reviews. Not every MP3 players in the market get reviewed from big tech pubs. The only reason for notability seems to be the claim that this is the "world's smallest" MP3 player, but the citation for that goes to a PCMag page which says "... billed as the "world's smallest" digital audio player, and we're pretty sure that's true" which is not any form of proof of the claim. Here's a more appropriate source that independently states the claim: The bite-size MobiBLU DAH-1500i is the smallest, most impressively full-featured Flash player we've seen yet. - PCMag UK, Jun 27, 2018.

Delete. One of thousands of mp3 players. Refs don't say anything, they're mundane reviews. Desertarun (talk) 11:10, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

One that has been independently called the world's smallest MP3 player. Notable lasting coverage exists for this particular player, outside typical routine coverage. X (talk) 22:49, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Might be worth keeping if it was somehow still the world's smallest personal audio device (it's not 2005 anymore), but it probably wasn't the smallest for very long, as an Apple product may have been tinier in 2009.[1] Googling around, nobody keeps track of the smallest device anymore, so it's not a notable topic after all. Lots of products get released every year and they all get reviewed, then replaced and thrown away. They are not notable.[2][3] The lasting coverage mentioned earlier contains no coverage.[4] Wizmut (talk) 18:07, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
