[edit] Nautilus Institute & Nautilus, Inc.

Reads like spam, not notable, and I already copied all the data to Nautilus, Inc., who looks like they may be notable. Just a spam fork, by look of it... and not needed. · XP · T · 21:36, 25 August 2006 (UTC) EDIT: Adding Nautilus, Inc. if I can. Neither are notable, even when merged. Tagged that one too. · XP · T · 21:40, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

• Strong keep on Nautilus, Inc., the well-known manufacturer of exercise equipment. It's a corporation listed on the New York Stock Exchange with over $600 million in annual sales; it presumably satisfies WP:CORP by a good margin. Note that the corporation also owns Stairmaster and Bowflex, two other brands which Wikipedia has articles about already. "Nautilus machines" gets over 29,000 Google hits [1], and the French Wikipedia has an article about them too: fr:Nautilus (machines).

• Comment: XP, there was actually no need to take this to AFD. In fact, after merging Nautilus Institute to Nautilus, Inc., you should just have made the former a redirect to the latter to preserve the edit history of the merged material (per the GFDL). And you can withdraw the nomination of Nautilus, Inc., if you wish. Tupsharru 05:32, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

• Comment My apologies for hosing this one by accident; merge/redirect natuilus institute to the parent · XP · 20:26, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

And I've redirected Nautilus Institute. Sorry for the trouble, I guess this one can be closed by anyone. · XP · 20:28, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep genericized tradename for exercise equipment. Clean up, for sure, but notable as a household word. Just zis Guy you know? 10:03, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
