This page was initially redirected to Dell XPS#XPS 730X, XPS 730X H2C by Czar for (I quote) dearth of substantial and in-depth, dedicated reliable sources (needs at least several)
. I have had a second look at the article and the only sources in here are to other Wikipedia articles, blog posts, a brochure, self-published sources, and what appears to be original research. The article also reads like a manual, being excessively technical in scope and seems more for a PC-building enthusiast than a general audience. The creator of the article has insisted that a discussion be held before "deleting", but I would argue that a redirect suffices, given the lack of proper sources and encyclopedic content. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 21:28, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

- Redirect, Wikipedia is not a how-to manual, nor is it a catalogue of every variant of every manufacturer's products. The tone and content of the article currently shout "technical manual", which is unencyclopedic. The lack of reliable independent sources is exactly what one would expect if someone was trying to put a manual here. Chiswick Chap (talk) 22:09, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect as suggested. This reads like some sort of techie manual on how to upgrade the thing. Oaktree b (talk) 03:26, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
