[edit] Added crosssection, SVG format glitches?

I uploaded a crosssection image. I made it using Microsoft Visio and exported it to SVG format. The lines and numbers show up incorrect, and help to improve the image is appreciated. Felsir 13:26, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

nevermind, I imported the SVG into Adobe Illustrator and saved it from there. Now it looks fine. Felsir 13:33, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Object to deletion

I think the article is notable because this feeder is one of the very few methods infants with cleft palate or similar deformities can be fed. I have the feeling this article was marked for deletion because the name is trademarked and might look like some form of advertisement. The feeder in this article is a widely used method of feeding infants in hospitals, without it many of those infants would have to be tubefed. Since there is no real alternative this product is notable because it allows parents to nurse their infants themselves. In my opinion this feeder is as notable as any other medical instrument named after their inventor(s). I would like to hear what would be needed to add to make it match the notability guidelines, or what triggered the proposal for deletion. I would like to understand that part of the wiki-process a bit better. Felsir 12:24, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

My objection was the lack of independent sources - there was no way to tell if it was notable. With the two links you added, you have addressed that objection. Thanks! UnitedStatesian 12:52, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
