Proposed deletion of Kelly kettle

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Kelly kettle, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? J.delanoy^gabs_adds 14:36, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed that you recently added a {{hangon}} template to an article, Kelly kettle. In order for an administrator to evaluate whether the article should be speedy deleted or not, we request that you provide a reasoning of why it should remain on the article's talk page. Thank you.

kelly kettle - protected

Because the kelly kettle and volcano kettle are brand names, they do not merit their own page. I do not support this. The item is made by several manufacturers and a brand-name page is thought of as not more than an advert and not appropriate for wikipedia. I think it would be better to have kelly kettle redirected to the storm kettle page, which is how it was. If you really really think kelly kettle deserves a page, you could create a "kelly kettle company" article, but it also may be nominated for speedy deletion. I had originally combined a seperate article on the "thermette" in storm kettle because it is a similar device.

In some countries, some brand names have become generized, e.g., aspirin, thermos, xerox, whilst in others they are still brand names. Even so, I suspect that kelly kettle and ghillie kettle are being used this way even if the brand name is trademarked. --Fremte (talk) 18:59, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
