[edit] Student desk

Doesn't seem notable. I merged it already into desk, but I have doubts if it should really be there either. Delete. Yankee Rajput 02:22, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - A student desk is a stupid idea for an article. I have an old school desk, but I am niether a student nor am I at school. Therefore it looks like other desks. So what is a student desk? A desk for study? Do we need a study table or study chair too? Delete, & merge any, and I mean if any, info into desk. Spawn Man 02:55, 28 November 2006 (UTC)comment
• Redirect - I don't think "merge and delete" is an option. The contribution history needs to be preserved. That said, the information is completely unsourced and a little arcane. shotwell 02:59, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Why isn't it an option? Yankee Rajput 03:05, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Shotwell said it already: If material is merged "the contribution history needs to be preserved." - Mgm|^(talk) 10:24, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep It's a distinct article of furniture sold to a distinctive market--'Desk" otherwise means office desk. It is so distinctive that people buy them as conversation pieces, a/c 3 comments up. DGG 03:58, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect, close discussion. AfD is not a forum for discussing article mergers. That said, this brief and unsourced content seems to fit well on Desk. If it grows and is sourced, it can be spin off again. Otherwise, much of the content should probably be deleted as OR. Sandstein 05:30, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, what's the difference from a normal desk and a student desk? Isn't it more or less the same than any other desks? As a student, we use a normal desk, not some special type of desk. --Terence Ong _{(C | R)} 08:48, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect. When material is merged, the edit history of the source material needs to be retained to be GFDL compliant. Deleting the article would mean there'd be no paper trace to find out who originally wrote the material which is key for verifiability and accountability. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:24, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
