Given that we don't even have an article for Yamaha Portasound, this list seems to be putting the cart before the horse. No clear claim to WP:LISTN. I wouldn't be opposed to moving the article to draftspace in order to repurpose content into an article about the Portasound, assuming editors believe that that is a notable subject and are willing to work on it. signed, Rosguill talk 23:07, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Since this notice went up, I've transferred the lead of the list article over to a stand-alone article, and expanded it with additional information and references. I would argue that the line of keyboards is notable as they were mass manufactured and hugely popular internationally... the list makes this point clearly, given the timescale that it covers (two decades). Obviously the list needs additional detail and references, but once more detail has been added, this will the only place online where the history of this line has been chronicled (so far as I can tell). You can refer to the similar article List of Casio keyboards to see the potential for expansion and refinement.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
