• keep, notable cleaning item, and a missing 1911 Britannica article. Kappa 00:36, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Notable cleaning item? I must have missed that notability guideline. This is a dicdef, and it's wiktionaried. End of story. -ikkyu2 (talk) 01:03, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

I believe he was joking.  :)

• • What, wikipedia users aren't supposed to be able to find out what people use to clean floors? Kappa 01:17, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Dicdef at most. You there, fill it up with petroleum distillate and re-vulcanize my tires! Monkeyman^(talk) 01:10, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Carpet. The article has it backwards -- a Google search suggests that the cleaning-item meaning is out of fashion, while the floor-covering meaning is common. --Allen 02:04, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep using the floor covering sense-- this is a big enough topic to support an article. Crypticfirefly 05:00, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as floor covering type. pschemp | talk 07:01, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Comment as a floor covering, how is it different from a rug? OhNoitsJamie^Talk 08:08, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep per Kappa. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 09:23, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. If the 1911 Britannica had an article on it, we could certainly have an expanded article. Capitalistroadster 11:07, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. This is a notable enough to be on an encyclopædia. --Terence Ong 11:44, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Comment, Ah the day we argue about the notability of a piece of flannel used to clean the floor. Isn't this one of the signs of the apocolypse?--Isotope23 17:43, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per Ikkyu2 --P199 19:14, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Kappa and Capitalistroadster. EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 23:02, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as (a) blindingly obvious and (b) factually inaccurate: my floor cloth is not made of flannel. Just zis Guy you know? 10:40, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Historically significant. Let us not be the encyclopedia of everything that happened from the third millennium on. BD2412 T 23:54, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
• If a "carpet" meaning has become common usage since the 1911 Brit came out, we should either make this a disambig page or add a graf explaining the term's functionality creep. Treat this as a keep, I guess. -Colin Kimbrell 04:13, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
