Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Super Definition plasma cutting machine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete. Although there have been only three comments, the consensus is perfectly clear. For the record, I will also say that without an AfD discussion I would have speedily deleted the article as spam.

I believe I was mistaken in accepting this draft. Looking in more detail I see insufficient referencing. I am not concerned about the WP:CIRCULAR reference from Wikipedia, that can be removed at any time, but I am concerned that the remainder are insufficient. My concern was raised sufficiently to make a SPI report at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Jason Crew since I perceive some sort of attempt to use WIkipedia to legitimise something I cannot quite define. Under these circumstances it is best to present the item to the community formally for discussion. Fiddle Faddle 08:16, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Delete - this is a machine that was released in June by a company that doesn't have an article, or else I would maybe recommend a bullet entry in that. This product does not have a single article mention or review - nothing. All I could find was a press release and some company chatter on a few machinist forums.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
