[edit] Pocket door

Is this a useful article or should it be removed? It's currently a dictionary defintion. CarDepot 02:51, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

• Nothing seems to have happened since the article appeared. Suggest delete unless the article improves. --DannyWilde 02:56, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, notable type of door. Very popular in Japan. Kappa 03:02, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
  • There is already fusuma, which is the general name of sliding doors in Japanese (I don't vouch for the fusuma article, though - it also needs work). --DannyWilde 03:06, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Hmmm where should Japanese doors redirect to... Kappa 03:20, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
      • I'm no expert on Japanese doors but doubt that they exactly match the definition of the pocket door, which "slides into the wall". Flapdragon 03:34, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
        • Image:fusuma.jpg This is a snapshot of a fusuma in a recess in the wall, which is what Kappa was talking about, I think. I don't know if this is a pocket door or not. I don't remember seeing doors which slide between one wall and the other in Japan. Quite hard to keep clean, I would guess. --DannyWilde 03:49, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as dicdef. Flapdragon 03:03, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep as per Kappa. Garr 04:02, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Similar doors are common in San Francisco too - we could of course improve the article. Throbblefoot 07:26, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep I've lived in houses with pocket doors. It does need to be expanded. - Dalbury 16:35, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - this is a useful stub that will eventually be expanded by someone, I'm sure. —Morven 19:12, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, as above. Trollderella 20:01, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Googling on "Pocket door" turns up slathers of pages on "install a pocket door," "fixing a stubborn pocket door," "sliding, folding, and pocket door hardware," "Pocket doors were popular at the turn of the century, but fell out of favor for awhile. Today's casters and hardware have eliminated the problems," "Pocket door kits save floor space, are easy to install," "The primary advantage of using a pocket door instead of a standard hinged door is, "buyer's guide of pocket door kits," "Pocket Door Solutions" etc. etc. This is obviously an encyclopedic topic, and a perfectly good ordinary builders' term for doors right here in the good old U. S. of A, (land of free, home of brave etc.) Dpbsmith (talk) 01:50, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
