I voted late on the second AfD and missed the first altogether but firmly believe this article should be deleted as a neologism and thinly disguised ad. I hope someone else will put it up for AfD again. My comment in second AfD vote:

Delete as per nom. This is a coined, purportedly Trademarked, name (i.e, a neologism) for a component or material used in a nn commercial product. Nothing verifiable about this component or material is known, except that it is not, contrary to the current text of the article, patented (at least in the US). Arguably,the founder of the company who does have two patents and two pending patent applications relative to cordless soldering irons is notable, and maybe the company itself, but NOT this neologism--FRS 21:33, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

And the article as it stands is very poor... "Athalite is probably graphite" -- Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. I recommend merge-and-redirect of any useful and verifiable information from reliable sources into the ColdHeat article. Such a crappy product doesn't deserve 2 articles, if it even merits 1. I would not oppose deletion of both articles, or only this one. User:Pedant (talk) 03:45, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
