Delete no evidence of notability. PianoDan (talk) 15:52, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It does indeed seem to be a thing, and turns up in technical sites: [1], [2], including government standards [3], [4], [5]. There are many, many more - lots of states, cities and counties refer to it in their construction standards. At times it is called "annular" instead of "annulus". The article clearly needs citations (as does the article for Firestop) but there is an embarasse di richesses from what I can tell. Lamona (talk) 21:55, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It is a thing, but many references to manufacturer's websites and codes does not automatically provide adequate secondary notability. WP:NOTEVERYTHING RemotelyInterested (talk) 23:57, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Comment: Apologies for my ignorance, what is an "embarasse di richesses"? (Leaning towards keep.) Caleb Stanford (talk) 01:53, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As mentioned in the article, a synonym for “annular space” when referring to firestops in building science. Possible Merge with Firestop, Fire protection or similar.
- The term is well-known in the art and likely appears in many patent applications.
- A quick Google Books search for “firestop annulus” returns published results for that synonym [6], so perhaps a third alternative is moving this to “Annular_space” and adding a redirect at “Annulus”. Jim Grisham (talk) 16:49, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Thanks to the references found by Lamona. MrsSnoozyTurtle 11:15, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
