Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2N3055
Notability was obvious from a first reading of the article, even before seeing the references.  The article is hardly a "parts list" entry but is what I'd expect for an important transistor.  I know little about transistors, but I found this article enlightening and am surprised it's listed for deletion.  It includes plenty of encyclopedic information, clearly described.   is clearly satisfied by multiple, specific, significant references (particularly Ellis et. al., Horowitz and Hill, McComb, and Graf and Sheets), all of which supply "verifiable objective evidence that the subject has received significant attention" (from ).   is satisfied, as well.  As for the parts-list fears, some transistor articles consist mostly of specifications (such as TIP31 and AF107), and may be better merged into an article on a transistor class, for example.  However, of the thousands of transistors, certain interesting ones clearly warrant their own articles.  Examples, with quality articles, in progress though they may be, include 2N3055, 2N2222, BC548, and CK722.  I have learned much more than I knew about transistors in the last couple days, mostly from these articles and their links and references.  That's what Wikipedia is for
