[edit] Henry (vacuum cleaner)

Technical spec for a NN vacuum cleaner MNewnham 22:05, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Undecided the tech spec is unencyclopaedic, but the Henry is iconic in the UK. If there was an article on Numatic I'd say merge, but there isn't. - Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 22:15, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment, yeah, I'm not from the UK, but it looks like there's a significant amount of pages, usenet postings, etc. about it, and its picture makes it look like it might stand out from other vacuums. On the other hand, the current article isn't encyclopedic in the least. --Interiot 22:26, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak delete Yes, the Henry is iconic in the UK and maybe one day WP should have an article about it, but this is not it - it is just a place marker for a future encyclopdic article. If the article does not improve very soon it should go. Gaius Cornelius 22:29, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
I cleaned it up a bit, but it's still rather crufty. - Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 23:10, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Per Just zis Guy, you know?'s cleanup, weak keep. I've changed the Advert tag to Not Verified. If anyone has a reference stating that Henry is iconic in the UK, go nuts. Melchoir 23:17, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep-to-Strong-Keep. The Henry vacuum cleaner is very common in the UK - I think it's probably only second to the Dyson range. It's clearly notable, and it's not just a technical spec. Sure, there's only one sentence and it could do with a little cleanup, but the subject itself is inherently notable. Hedley 23:26, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak keep they are definately notable in the UK, although articles would need a lot of work. - FrancisTyers 23:27, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect per above findings: one article on Numatics, with the three models listed. Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 23:27, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Right, merge and redirect. Melchoir 23:53, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand, no brainer! Jcuk 08:19, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep and there are articles on Henrys friends too. Merge and redirect is not appropriate for notable products. QQ 10:30, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, definitely notable and commonplace. Stifle 00:16, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
