[edit] Watercone

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

This is a well-meaning article that is clearly unencyclopedic in both tone (which is sofixable) and content. It appears to broadly deal with a commercialised version of a product known to desert island adventurers around the world. I took off a speedy tag as I do not agree that it is blatant advertising, and the PROD tag I replaced it with was removed consequent to the addition of some external material [1]. Nevertheless, at the present time this does not survive notability tests such as those in WP:CORP for the marketing company nor general encyclopedic tests of impact. Delete.

• A bit of homework reveals that the generic name for these devices is a Solar still. Redirect there. humblefool® 00:32, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

• Redirect to Solar still. A brief reading of the article reveals nothing unique or useful to merge; it's largely advertising and how-to content. --Darkwind (talk) 23:42, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
