message: The proposed PROD deletion tag gives "appears to be mostly a doorway page" as a rationale. Not sure what is meant by that, but the article is not intended to function as a pointer to the general subject of amateur radio - or to manufacturer or retailer pages. QRP (i.e. low power operation) is a subject in itself. It is a specialized pursuit within the hobby, has a historical tradition as a fundamental operating mode, and has many adherents, resulting in a number of manufacturers that produce equipment catering to QRPers. There exists a plethora of specialized literature on the subject, as a cursory Google search will reveal. - LuckyLouie (talk) 02:39, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. I asked the proposer about the Doorway page rationale (which I diagree with here) on their talk. See also: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of QRP Transceivers which arguably could be considered a "doorway" to promote products. --mikeu talk 02:47, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree with you about List of QRP Transceivers. Even though WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS like endless subcategory lists of video games, a list of specialized ham gear is of limited value. - LuckyLouie (talk) 03:13, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

text: reply The contents present here come from personal websites and there's a whole lot of original research space filler. If they are eliminated, this page wouldn't be much more than a dictionary entry and having dictionary articles is not what we are about. So, I believe the page was basically only serving as a doorway meaning that being a billboard for all kinds of links. "QRP operation" is just another way of saying operation at reduced power.Graywalls (talk) 07:27, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

replies: text: @Graywalls. I can see why you'd get that impression. Over time, a lot of unsourced statements and product links were inserted into the article. I've cleaned up the majority of the issues, and added multiple citations to WP:RS sources, which all go well beyond simply defining QRP as reduced power. - LuckyLouie (talk) 15:19, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

text:  The article had some problems as I described above, and so I was happy to make needed improvements. I’m going to WP:AGF about the nominator. - 21:58, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
