[edit] Tension ring

Tension ring (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Contested PROD. The topic fails WP:N in my opinion; no independent sources have been added since January. Google and Google books show some hits, and some of them related to jewelry; but it has not been shown that this is in fact more than a non-notable product by one or a few manufacturers. -- Sent here as part of the Notability wikiproject. --B.

  • Comment I can attest to the fact that is is notable in the world of Jewelry as noted during my search for a ring. Some other terms that may apply and do bring up some possible sources are "Tension-set" and "Tension-mount". The reason this is notable is that there is no device other than pressure seating the jewel into the setting. spryde | talk 16:44, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep. From my preliminary googling, it seems to be notable. "Tension ring" gets 52,500 Google results, and "tension-set ring" gets 33,400 results. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NeuronExMachina (talk • contribs)
    • The Google test is often not conclusive. Among the 50000 results, there e.g. some like this one, but what do they say about the topic? --B. Wolterding 16:05, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Citations would add much to the value of the article, but it is well written, informative, does not read like an advertisement and mentions that tension rings have been in development since 1981, so this is not a new phenomenon. I would like to read about other types of settings too, but I could not find any -- the disambiguation page for setting does not lead anywhere in the jewellery sense. --Cyhawk 23:34, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
