Talk:Hot box (appliance)

This article was nominated for deletion on 9 January 2009 (UTC). The result of the discussion was no consensus.

Pictures uploaded. I want to delete the deletion coding, but I'd like to first talk to the person who put it there. Anybody want to tell me who to talk to? For what it's worth, there's nothing "Original" about this entry, it's just documenting what actually exists out there in the real world. LP-mn (talk) 04:56, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why you're deleting the "Hot Box (Appliance)" page[edit]

I _THINK_ I've figured out that you're the one who added the 5-day automatic delete coding to the 'Hot Box (Appliance)' page. I finally uploaded and linked in the images I took a few months ago. Why do you think this page needs deletion? Hot Boxes are commonly used in the building trades through out the country, but absolutely NOBODY is going to write a scholarly paper on them, except as some sort of a practical joke. Documenting it in an on-line encyclopedia on the other hand, could clear up some confusion. I just don't get your justification for wanting to delete the page. If practical, please "CC:" your explanation on that page's discussion page. Thanks, LP-mn (talk) 05:03, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

REPLY please read WP:V, WP:OR. Policy for Wikipedia is that all articles MUST be supported by reliable sources. If, as you say, this topic goes undocumented there could be one in every room in the world and still fail inclusion criteria. Nuttah (talk) 19:18, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if you're going to go ahead and let the page be deleted, then you'd better delete the pictures as well. LP-mn (talk) 02:46, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
