Category:Electronics companies of Japan is already there. What is this template for? There needs to be a clear definition of which companies/brands should and shouldn't be in the template.--Krtek2125 20:15, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2006-10-29T20:15:00.000Z","author":"Krtek2125","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Krtek2125-2006-10-29T20:15:00.000Z-What_is_this_template_for?","replies":[]}}-->

Agreed. This template is a mess, as it includes brands (e.g. National) and parent companies (e.g. Panasonic). I think brands and also companies that has long since exited the electronics market (e.g. Sega) shouldn't be listed. I think this template needs to be updated in addition to this article --Aizuku (talk) 05:24, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-10-11T05:24:00.000Z","author":"Aizuku","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Aizuku-2009-10-11T05:24:00.000Z-What_is_this_template_for?","replies":[]}}-->

I still think it needs to be simpler, maybe categorize companies, since there are more specialized companies like Nikon and Nintendo, and diversified companies like Sony and Toshiba. --12:02, 11 October 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aizuku (talk • contribs)

The following is just an idea, a hint of how it should be, the categories are not final, only meant as an illustration:

In this example I've listed some companies more than once, where valid, I'm not sure if this is for the best or not.

Removed Technics, Quasar and National since they are Panasonic brands, removed Buffalo since it redirects to Melco. Added JVC Kenwood Holdings. I think sub-brands of a company shouldn't be listed. --Aizuku (talk) 08:14, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-02-13T08:14:00.000Z","author":"Aizuku","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Aizuku-2010-02-13T08:14:00.000Z-Removed_and_added_a_few_links","replies":[]}}-->

Commented Minolta out, there is already an entry for Konica Minolta, and Konica didn't exist on the template before. It was only logical. --Aizuku (talk) 12:51, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-02-24T12:51:00.000Z","author":"Aizuku","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Aizuku-2010-02-24T12:51:00.000Z-Removed_and_added_a_few_links","replies":[]}}-->

The current template includes Business-to-business companies. The products of Advantest, Horiba, Tokyo Electron, and Yokogawa Electric are definitely not consumer electronics, so they should be removed. I support Aizuku's proposal. --Shinkansen Fan (talk) 17:01, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-08-06T17:01:00.000Z","author":"Shinkansen Fan","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Shinkansen_Fan-2010-08-06T17:01:00.000Z-Please_remove_B2B_companies","replies":["c-Aizuku-2010-08-11T12:25:00.000Z-Shinkansen_Fan-2010-08-06T17:01:00.000Z"]}}-->

I agree with you B2B companies shouldn't be included. If no one minds I'm gonna go ahead and remove B2B companies --Aizuku (talk) 12:25, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-08-11T12:25:00.000Z","author":"Aizuku","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Aizuku-2010-08-11T12:25:00.000Z-Shinkansen_Fan-2010-08-06T17:01:00.000Z","replies":["c-Shinkansen_Fan-2010-12-28T15:00:00.000Z-Aizuku-2010-08-11T12:25:00.000Z"]}}-->

This website may be a good source: Members of Association for Eletric Home Appliances. In addition to the companies that you have listed above, I think the following members of this organization are notable:

* Cooking: Zojirushi Corporation, Tiger Corporation

* HVAC: Corona Corporation (TYO: 5909), Daikin, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries

* Audio: TEAC

Sanyo and Panasonic Electric Works should be included too. --Shinkansen Fan (talk) 15:00, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-12-28T15:00:00.000Z","author":"Shinkansen Fan","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Shinkansen_Fan-2010-12-28T15:00:00.000Z-Aizuku-2010-08-11T12:25:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->
