[edit] NATO helmet

Fails to source research, defying WP:Verifiability, WP:No original research, and WP:NPOV, having been asked to do so in December of 2005 with a cleanup tag. It is also a non notable article, devoid of pertinent information other than obvious statements about the function of a helmet. Shazbot85^Talk 20:23, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 14:47, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Question: delete per what argument? I think it's standard to say something, no?--Anthony Krupp 15:28, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment: I noted that none of the pages it links to link back to NATO helmet. And that the image on NATO helmet comes from one of the pages it links to. I generally prefer to keep stubs and ask people to work on them. I note that nominator has already contacted article creator with just this request. (Very ethical. Not like some deletionists.) I've contacted others who have worked on the article to let them know about the AfD. No strong opinion either way on my part. Perhaps very weak keep contingent on someone providing sources. If someone shows up here and says they'll research this, great.--Anthony Krupp 15:28, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment I just don't think it's neccessarily worthy of research which is why I proposed it for deletion. I have no qualms about proposing a stub for deletion if it seems useless. I don't think an article on a particular type of helmet will grow into something anymore meaningful than it already is, and I just don't think of it as meaningful. Perhaps the article can be deleted and merged to be listed on the main Wikipedia helmet page, that would seem far more productive to me rather than just having a random helmet article on a specific type of helmet.

• Delete per nom. I look forward to NATO boots, NATO breastplate, NATO t-shirt and NATO socks. Perhaps some of this info could be dragged over to Riot control. The image is already there. wikipediatrix 15:44, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Makes sense. Why don't you just add this tiny stub to that page, then, and signal that you've done so here? I think that will speed the AfD along nicely.--Anthony Krupp 15:45, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Tried to, there's already a portion devoted to helmets and I don't feel it would be productive to add another section specifically for NATO helmets. The riot helmet section seems to be far more informative as well. Shazbot85^Talk 15:51, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Done. wikipediatrix 15:52, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete With the merger of this article in with the riot control article by User:Wikipediatrix I propose this article be deleted with haste. Shazbot85^Talk 15:59, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete per Shazbot85 and b/c I can't see the article growing large enough to merit a more significant mention than can be done in the riot control article. --Tim4christ17 16:15, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

• Instantaneous Delete per work of Shazbot85 and wikipediatrix.--Anthony Krupp 18:04, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above comments. This is not notable.csloat 20:01, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
