Would it make sense for this page to be merged with the Prusa i3 page? I added a few lines about the Mini over on that main page.
There is an argument that this page should not exist, as this is the only Prusa printer to have a separate wiki page. However it could also be argued that the main Prusa i3 page could act a a hub, and each printer should have their own separate page that goes in-depth into each one.
I am new to wikipedia so I do not know what is best for this situation - I just added a bit as it seemed that the main Prusa i3 page was quite out of date. Fair warning I probably won't check this talk page as I was just passing through, but hopefully someone else can figure out what to do! 2A02:8084:6220:300:14CE:5A6D:EB3F:ABB5 (talk) 19:25, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I am more positive towards keeping them in separate articles. The Prusa i3 is probably the most famous printer from Prusa, and the i3 article lays out the many versions, iterations, variants, and so forth, of the i3. The Prusa Mini and Prusa XL models are completely different designs, so in my opinion it would only be confusing to merge those into the i3 article. Sauer202 (talk) 13:54, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think the Mini and XL fail the notability test, and thus cannot have their own pages. Other than being manufactured by Prusa Research, what makes the Mini and the XL notable? -- Doktor Züm (talk) 06:38, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Just to clarify, I would love to see the i3, Mini and XL (and all my favourite tech toys) having separate, high detailed pages, with all the latest breaking news, tech info, etc. But that's not what Wikipedia is for. Based on notability, and the needs and expectations of a general readership, I think the i3 and Prusa Research can each justify separate pages, but the Mini and XL cannot, and so belong on the Prusa Research page, as "also rans", ie, brief mentions. -- Doktor Züm (talk) 00:38, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Copied from Prusa i3 Talk page:
> Although a counter-argument is that, if the Mini and XL are getting significant coverage in reliable sources, then they warrant their own articles, ie, they are notable. I'm coming around to this point of view. -- Doktor Züm (talk) 04:23, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think people are confused because if you search for Prusa Research you get Prusa i3. The Prusa i3 page is about a specific product line of historical interest (Mendel-based i3) which has had a huge impact on the entire consumer 3D printing world. It would be better if a separate Prusa Research article were re-established, and the full Prusa product line could be described there. EasilyAmused (talk) 20:41, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
