[edit] Beekeeping helmet

Beekeeping helmet (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Incorrect name for what I believe is called a hood. Material is already covered more thouroughly in beekeeper article. Currently nothing more than a dic def. Creator of this article nominated Welding helmet for deletion. Mgm|^(talk) 12:43, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect to Beekeeping which has a section dedicated to equipment used by beekeepers. This article will never need to exist in its own right. Budgiekiller 13:14, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: Redirecting would be misleading because of the article's faulty name. We'd be better of creating a redirect at Beekeeping suit. - Mgm|^(talk) 13:33, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment - fair enough. Then I change my vote to Merge and delete, if there's anything worth salvaging from the page. Budgiekiller 13:40, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep in one form or another. Even if the illustration is more helpful than the text, this is a stub that begins at the beginning. No opinion on what the proper name for this equipment is; move it to the established one. - Smerdis of Tlön 14:46, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • We already have it in one form at Beekeeping#Protective_clothing, as pointed out above. Uncle G 20:01, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
• Move to (new article) Beekeeping protective clothing (or similar - perhaps Beekeepers' Pr..). No such thing as a beekeeping helmet, but the article can act as a starting point for a more comprehensive article (which the wiki needs :)). I think that, at this stage, an article on the single part of equipment (the hood/veil) as separate from the rest is pointless. Martinp23 14:52, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
• My personal experience says that the name is faulty, too. The sources, such as Charles A. Saunders, this catalogue of beekeeping supplies, and Goodman and Riordan, say otherwise. I say go with the sources rather than my personal experience. ☺ However, it is more commonly called a "beekeeping hat and veil". Research confirms that, too. There's nothing here that isn't at Beekeeping#Protective_clothing, not even the picture, and no indication that a break-out Wikipedia:Summary style article is yet required for that section. Redirect to Beekeeping#Protective_clothing, as I was about to do. Uncle G 20:01, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Unsourced article with a defective title and almost no content. Adds nothing to Beekeeping. Edison 20:25, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Beekeeping#Protective_clothing, per Uncle G's sources showing that the title is worth keeping, but the article is not. AubreyEllenShomo 22:13, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I checked some beekeeping supply websites, and the term "Beekeeping helmet" doesn't appear to be a term used in the industry. From what I gather, protective clothing they wear consists of a "bee suit", along with a sun helment, and a "bee veil." I don't think a redirect for this term is necessary.
