Anemostat
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log )

It looks like this was kept at a 2007 AfD with the rationale that the subject is a widely used device and the name could become genericized. I'm having trouble finding any useful sources to expand this article: nothing on Pubmed, very little on Google Scholar. The hits I'm seeing on Google are almost all to the company with the same name rather than describing a widespread air distribution device. Am I looking in the wrong place, or does the subject not meet WP:GNG? Ajpolino (talk) 20:43, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete I don't think it became popular as a device. A G-newspaper search turns up a listing for a distributor in Singapore from 1997... Sweet nothing after that. Oaktree b (talk) 23:06, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete I found one published paper from Turkey that talked about two different kinds of anemostats they were testing, but that is it. FiddleheadLady (talk) 12:59, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Basically trying to advertise the inventor by using the device name as article title for hedging. nirmal (talk) 00:36, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
